Lebanon is the main hosting country for the Syrian crisis, with more than one million Syrian refugees. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and identify its possible predictors, in a sample of Syrian refugees living in camps in Lebanon.
We conducted a household survey on Syrian refugees between 18 and 65years old in 6 camps of the Central Bekaa region, using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.) as a diagnostic tool.
Among the 452 respondents, we found a lifetime prevalence of PTSD of 35.4%, and a point prevalence of 27.2%. The lifetime prevalence of SUD was 1.99% and the point prevalence 0.66%. Multivariate logistic regression could not identify any predictor of current PTSD among a list of demographic variables, but identified the Syrian hometown as a significant predictor of lifetime PTSD (p=.013), with refugees from Aleppo having significantly more PTSD than those coming from Homs (adjusted OR 2.14, 95% CI [1.28, 3.56], p=.004).
PTSD was a real mental health issue in our sample of adult Syrian refugees in Central Bekaa camps, unlike SUD.
黎巴嫩是叙利亚危机的主要收容国，有超过 100 万叙利亚难民。本研究的目的是确定居住在黎巴嫩营地的叙利亚难民样本中创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的患病率，并确定其可能的预测因素。
我们在贝卡谷地中部的 6 个难民营中对 18 至 65 岁的叙利亚难民进行了一项入户调查，使用迷你国际神经精神病学访谈（MINI）作为诊断工具。
在 452 名受访者中，我们发现终生 PTSD 的患病率为 35.4%，现患率为 27.2%。终生物质使用障碍（SUD）的患病率为 1.99%，现患率为 0.66%。多元逻辑回归无法在一系列人口统计学变量中确定任何当前 PTSD 的预测因素，但确定叙利亚原籍地是终生 PTSD 的一个显著预测因素（p=.013），来自阿勒颇的难民比来自霍姆斯的难民 PTSD 明显更多（调整后的 OR 2.14，95%CI [1.28, 3.56]，p=.004）。
与物质使用障碍不同，PTSD 是我们在贝卡营地的成年叙利亚难民样本中真正存在的心理健康问题。
