This study examines the relationship between exposure to war stress and posttraumatic symptoms among nurses and physicians in a general hospital targeted by missiles.
Hospital staff who were exposed to missile attacks and casualties of war, both military and civilians (n=80), were assessed for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms a month after the war between Lebanon and Israel erupted (during the last days of the war).
High levels of PTSD symptoms were found in 10.5% of physicians and 35.7% of nurses. Logistic regression analysis showed that nurses had an increased risk for PTSD in comparison to physicians (odds ratio=5.28).
These findings show that nurses suffered from more severe posttraumatic symptoms compared to physicians after exposure to prolonged war stress. The gap between physicians and nurses warrants further study.
本研究探讨在一家遭受导弹袭击的综合医院中，护士和医生所面临的战争压力暴露与创伤后症状之间的关系。
选取80名遭受导弹袭击以及经历军事和平民战争伤亡的医院工作人员，在黎巴嫩与以色列爆发战争一个月后（战争最后阶段）对其创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状进行评估。
10.5%的医生和35.7%的护士存在高水平的PTSD症状。逻辑回归分析显示，与医生相比，护士患PTSD的风险更高（优势比=5.28）。
这些研究结果表明，在经历长期战争压力后，护士比医生遭受更严重的创伤后症状。医生与护士之间的差距值得进一步研究。
