To examine the prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in a sample of prison employees, investigate risk factors, and explore protective factors for PTSD.
We surveyed 355 Washington State Department of Corrections employees. The survey included the PTSD checklist for the DSM-5 (PCL-5), the Critical Incident History Questionnaire, and the Work Environment Inventory.
We found 19% of the sample met the criteria for diagnosable PTSD. Several risk factors were associated with a higher PCL-5 score, including exposure to critical incidents, and having greater ambiguity in the job role. Being happy with job assignments and having positive relationships with supervisors and coworkers were associated with decreased PCL-5 score.
Prison employees have a PTSD rate equivalent to Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans and higher than police officers, suggesting the importance of developing programs for promoting resilience to stress, incorporating the knowledge gained on risk, and protective factors.
调查监狱工作人员样本中创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的患病率，探究风险因素，并探索PTSD的保护因素。
我们对355名华盛顿州惩教部员工进行了调查。该调查包括《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第5版创伤后应激障碍检查表（PCL-5）、重大事件历史问卷和工作环境量表。
我们发现19%的样本符合可诊断PTSD的标准。几个风险因素与较高的PCL-5得分相关，包括接触重大事件以及工作角色的不确定性更大。对工作任务满意以及与上级和同事保持积极关系与较低的PCL-5得分相关。
监狱工作人员的PTSD患病率与伊拉克和阿富汗战争退伍军人相当，高于警察，这表明制定增强压力恢复力的项目、纳入关于风险和保护因素的知识非常重要。
