这项回顾性研究探讨了132名加拿大警察样本中创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）发展的风险和保护因素。进行结构化访谈，以评估最痛苦的工作相关的创伤事件，并确定诊断的全部或部分创伤后应激障碍。参与者完成了自我管理的问卷调查，评估了几个潜在的预测因素。结果表明，7.6%的参与者在工作中发生事故后患上了完全的创伤后应激障碍，而6.8%的参与者患上了部分创伤后应激障碍。多元Logistic回归分析表明，创伤后精神分裂症的发展完全或部分的最有力的危险因素是围创伤期分离。活动期间同事的社会支持是一个重要的保护因素。临床意义的研究结果进行了讨论。
This retrospective study examined risk and protective factors for the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a sample of 132 Canadian police officers. Structured interviews were conducted in order to assess the most distressing work-related traumatic events and determine diagnoses of full or partial PTSD. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires assessing several potential predictors. The results suggested that 7.6% of the participants developed full PTSD, whereas 6.8% had partial PTSD following an incident at work. A multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the most potent risk factor for the development of full or partial PTSD was peritraumatic dissociation. Social support from colleagues during the event emerged as a significant protective factor. Clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
