BACKGROUND
The aim of the study was to determine the amount of trauma impact, post-traumatic stress symptoms and current psychopathological distress in a sample of former German children of World War II.
METHODS
93 participants were recruited through the local press, and assessed using the modified Post-traumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS) and the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90-R).
RESULTS
Subjects reported a high qualitative and quantitative degree of trauma exposure. 13.8% reported PTSD-related symptoms after the war, and 10.8% reported current symptoms. PTSD symptoms after World War II were significantly correlated with current psychopathological distress.
CONCLUSIONS
In line with other studies, our data document a high degree of trauma exposure during warchildhood. In comparison with other studies on PTSD in warchildren, there is a persisting high prevalence of war-associated PTSD symptoms in this sample. Despite some methodological limitations, our data underline the urgent need for further studies on the ageing group of former children of World War II.
背景
本研究旨在确定二战时期德国儿童样本中的创伤影响程度、创伤后应激症状以及当前的精神病理困扰情况。
方法
通过当地媒体招募了93名参与者，并使用修订后的创伤后诊断量表（PDS）和症状清单（SCL-90-R）进行评估。
结果
受试者报告了高度的创伤暴露，包括质和量两个方面。13.8%的人报告战后出现与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）相关的症状，10.8%的人报告当前有此类症状。二战后的PTSD症状与当前的精神病理困扰显著相关。
结论
与其他研究一致，我们的数据表明战争时期儿童期存在高度的创伤暴露。与其他关于战争儿童PTSD的研究相比，该样本中与战争相关的PTSD症状持续高发。尽管存在一些方法学上的局限性，但我们的数据强调了对二战时期儿童这一老龄群体进行进一步研究的迫切需求。
