采用社会人口学问卷、创伤后应激障碍检查表-平民版和健康调查简表-36，对234名巴西救护人员（180名男性和54名女性）进行了创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的横断面调查。目前PTSD的完全和部分患病率分别为5.6%（男性= 6.7%，女性= 1.9%）和15%（男性= 13.3%，女性= 20.4%）。与对照组相比，患有完全PTSD的男性工人更有可能未婚（75%对43%），而患有部分PTSD的男性工人报告了更多的情绪问题（65.2%对30%）和医疗访问（67%对4%）。PTSD的工人表现出SF-36的身体和精神领域的损害，而部分PTSD的工人只有后者受损。研究人群的特征和创伤暴露水平可能是PTSD患病率低的原因。
A cross-sectional survey for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was conducted with 234 Brazilian ambulance workers (180 men and 54 women) using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version, and the Short Form Health Survey-36. Current prevalence rates for full and partial PTSD were 5.6% (men = 6.7%, women = 1.9%) and 15% (men = 13.3%, women = 20.4%), respectively. Male workers with full PTSD were more likely to be nonmarried (75% vs. 43%) and those with partial PTSD reported more emotional problems (65.2% vs. 30%) and medical visits (67% vs. 4%) than the controls. Workers with PTSD showed impairment in the physical and mental domains of the SF-36 whereas workers with partial PTSD had only the later compromised. The characteristics and the level of exposure to trauma of the study population may account for the low prevalence of PTSD.
