Post-traumatic stress disorders are psychiatric disorders that arise after a traumatic event. They result in moral suffering and physical complications that profoundly alter personal, social and professional life. Our main objective was to study general practitioners (GP)' knowledge of psychotraumatism. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study whose data collection took place from January 15 to September 15, 2023 in Burkina Faso. GP practicing in Burkina Faso were included. The minimum number of subjects to be included was 422. A Google Form questionnaire was administered to participants. Our study sample comprised 427 GP, 67% of whom were men (284/427). The mean age of the doctors was 32.4 ± 3.5 years. Doctors were married in 49% of cases (208/427) and single in 41% (174/427). Average professional experience was 3.8 ± 2.6 years. The largest number of GP (120) came from the Centre region. A minority of GP practiced in rural areas (7%). The majority of GP (63%) thought they had already dealt with a case of psychotraumatism. Our sample had received training in psychotraumatism during their medical studies in 26.9% of cases, and 17.8% had received continuing education. Considering the grading of GP' knowledge of psychotraumatism, 182 had an average score of 10 or above, i.e. 43% of our sample. Our study did not reveal any factors associated with better knowledge of psychotraumatism. A study on a larger population including nurses could enable us to better assess the level of knowledge in psychotraumatism.
创伤后应激障碍是创伤事件后出现的精神障碍。它们会导致精神痛苦和身体并发症，深刻改变个人、社会和职业生活。我们的主要目标是研究全科医生（GP）对心理创伤的了解情况。这是一项描述性横断面研究，数据收集于2023年1月15日至9月15日在布基纳法索进行。纳入了在布基纳法索执业的全科医生。纳入的最少受试者数量为422名。向参与者发放了谷歌表单调查问卷。我们的研究样本包括427名全科医生，其中67%为男性（284/427）。医生的平均年龄为32.4±3.5岁。49%的医生已婚（208/427），41%为单身（174/427）。平均专业经验为3.8±2.6年。最多的全科医生（120名）来自中部地区。少数全科医生在农村地区执业（7%）。大多数全科医生（63%）认为他们已经处理过心理创伤病例。我们的样本中有26.9%在医学学习期间接受过心理创伤方面的培训，17.8%接受过继续教育。考虑到全科医生对心理创伤知识的评分，182人平均得分在10分及以上，即占我们样本的43%。我们的研究没有发现与更好地了解心理创伤相关的任何因素。对包括护士在内的更大人群进行研究可能使我们能够更好地评估心理创伤方面的知识水平。
