The COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine measures have sparked debate regarding their traumatic nature. This cross-sectional study reports the prevalence rate of probable post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) and associated factors among French university students. A total of 22,883 students completed the online questionnaire. The prevalence rate of probable PTSD, assessed using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, was 19.5% [19.0-20.0]. Female (1.32 [1.21-1.45]) or non-binary gender (1.76 [1.35-2.31]), exposure to a non-COVID-19-related traumatic event (3.37 [3.08-3.67]), having lived through quarantine alone (1.22 [1.09-1.37]), poor quality of social ties (2.38 [2.15-2.62]), loss of income (1.20 [1.09-1.31]), poor quality housing (1.90 [1.59-2.26]), low-quality of the information received (1.50 [1.35-1.66]) and a high level of exposure to COVID-19 (from 1.38 [1.24-1.54] to 10.82 [2.33-76.57] depending on the score) were associated with PTSD. Quarantine was considered potentially traumatic by 78.8% of the students with probable PTSD. These findings suggest the pandemic context and lockdown measures could have post-traumatic consequences, stimulating debate on the nosography of PTSD.
新冠疫情和隔离措施引发了关于其创伤性质的争论。这项横断面研究报告了法国大学生中创伤后应激综合征（PTSD）的患病率及其相关因素。共有 22883 名学生完成了在线问卷。使用DSM-5 创伤后应激障碍检查表评估的 PTSD 患病率为 19.5%[19.0-20.0]。女性（1.32[1.21-1.45]）或非二元性别（1.76[1.35-2.31]）、暴露于非 COVID-19 相关创伤事件（3.37[3.08-3.67]）、独自经历隔离（1.22[1.09-1.37]）、社会关系质量差（2.38[2.15-2.62]）、收入损失（1.20[1.09-1.31]）、住房质量差（1.90[1.59-2.26]）、接收到的信息质量差（1.50[1.35-1.66]）和高 COVID-19 暴露水平（从 1.38[1.24-1.54]到 10.82[2.33-76.57]，具体取决于得分）与 PTSD 相关。78.8%的有 PTSD 可能的学生认为隔离是潜在的创伤性的。这些发现表明，大流行背景和封锁措施可能会产生创伤后后果，引发关于 PTSD 分类学的争论。
