Studies of PTSD document a significant proportion of cancer survivors reporting severe posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, even when they do not meet full diagnostic criteria. However, few studies have directly examined the clinical significance of these “partial-PTSD” symptoms in survivors. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of PTSD symptoms in a cohort of long-term survivors of HL, and to explore the clinical relevance of the partial-PTSD phenomenon by assessing impairment of function secondary to sub-threshold symptomatology. The Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS), was completed by 105 HL survivors and 101 sibling controls. Survivors age at time of participation ranged from 24–71 years, age at time of diagnosis ranged from 6–61 years, and the median time since diagnosis was 16 years (range = 7 – 34). PTSD prevalence was not significantly higher in HL survivors (13%) compared to sibling controls (6.9%, p = .098). However, a significantly larger proportion of survivors (35.2%) met criteria for partial-PTSD compared to siblings (17.8%, p = .004). Moreover, the majority of the survivors with partial-PTSD (86.5%) reported experiencing some functional impairment related to these PTS symptoms. A significant number of HL survivors experience PTS symptoms severe enough to result in functional impairment. These findings underscore the importance of future research detailing the psychological and functional outcomes in survivors with partial-PTSD, and of careful clinical practice that assesses for functional impairment secondary to partial-PTSD symptomatology, in male and female survivors, even years after completion of therapy.
