We assessed symptoms of psychological distress among a population-based sample of 9000-plus adults in Burundi during (1998) and after (2007) armed conflict. After exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to an 8-item, self-report measure, we identified two domains of psychological distress "Depression/Anxiety" and "Functioning" with good fit to data. The questionnaire was invariant in males and females. Depression and Anxiety symptoms during conflict were more frequently reported than Functioning symptoms; all symptoms were more frequently reported by women. Psychological distress was found in 44 % of individuals during conflict and in 29 % 2 years after the conflict. Results call for further research in Burundi that can inform the development of mental health interventions.
我们评估了布隆迪9000多名成年人在武装冲突期间（1998年）及冲突后（2007年）基于人群样本中的心理困扰症状。对一项8项自我报告测量进行探索性和验证性因素分析后，我们确定了心理困扰的两个领域——“抑郁/焦虑”和“功能”，它们与数据拟合良好。该问卷在男性和女性中具有不变性。冲突期间抑郁和焦虑症状的报告频率高于功能症状；所有症状在女性中报告频率更高。冲突期间44%的个体存在心理困扰，冲突后两年这一比例为29%。研究结果呼吁在布隆迪开展进一步研究，为心理健康干预措施的制定提供参考。
