An epidemiological survey was made of war trauma and its consequences in the general population.
One member aged over 15 years from each of 101 randomly selected families in a Primary Health Area in Sri Lanka were interviewed using the Stress Impact Questionnaire.
Nearly one-half had experienced between five and nine war stresses, and one-quarter experienced over 10 (mean 6.66). Only 6% had not experienced any. Sixty-four per cent had developed psychosocial sequelae, including somatisation (41%), post-traumatic stress disorder (27%), anxiety disorder (26%), major depression (25%), hostility (19%), relationship problems (13%), alcohol and drug misuse (15%) and functional disability (18%).
The trauma experienced correlated strongly with psychosocial and somatic symptoms.
对普通人群中的战争创伤及其后果进行了一项流行病学调查。
在斯里兰卡一个初级卫生保健区，从101个随机抽取的家庭中各选取一名15岁以上的成员，使用应激影响问卷进行访谈。
近一半的人经历过5至9次战争压力事件，四分之一的人经历过10次以上（平均6.66次）。只有6%的人没有经历过任何战争压力事件。64%的人出现了心理社会后遗症，包括躯体化症状（41%）、创伤后应激障碍（27%）、焦虑症（26%）、重度抑郁症（25%）、敌意（19%）、人际关系问题（13%）、酒精和药物滥用（15%）以及功能残疾（18%）。
所经历的创伤与心理社会和躯体症状密切相关。
