The number and type of traumatic experiences show differential associations with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The associations of number and type of traumatic experiences with PTSD were investigated in a representative population sample in Germany.
Traumatic experiences and PTSD were assessed with a self-rating questionnaire in a sample of 2510 participants from the general German population.
The risk of (partial) PTSD increased with an increasing number of traumatic experiences. In contrast interpersonal and accidental traumatization showed no substantial differences with respect to the risk of PTSD.
To quantify the relevance of the number and type of traumatic experiences for onset and persistence of PTSD, a multidimensional and complex assessment of those experiences is necessary. This is a great challenge in epidemiological research on this topic.
创伤经历的数量和类型与创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)呈现出不同的关联。
在德国的一个具有代表性的人群样本中,对创伤经历的数量和类型与PTSD之间的关联进行了调查。
采用自评问卷对来自德国普通人群的2510名参与者进行创伤经历和PTSD评估。
(部分)PTSD的风险随着创伤经历数量的增加而增加。相比之下,人际创伤和意外创伤在PTSD风险方面没有显著差异。
为了量化创伤经历的数量和类型对PTSD发病和持续存在的相关性,对这些经历进行多维度和复杂的评估是必要的。这在该主题的流行病学研究中是一个巨大的挑战。
