Abstract

The aims of this study were: a) to assess the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after an acute psychotic episode in schizophrenic and delusional patients, b) to explore which psychotic symptoms and aspects of treatment were associated with traumatization, and c) to compare the extent of the traumatic impact of psychosis and involuntary hospitalization. Forty-six schizophrenic and delusional patients were assessed with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), and the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) at weeks 1 and 8 after acute psychiatric admission. Traumatic symptoms related to psychosis and coercive measures were scored separately. The prevalence of PTSD was found to be 11%. Sixty-nine percent of traumatic symptoms were related to psychosis and 24% to hospitalization. High PANSS score at week 8 was the strongest risk factor for the development of PTSD. Particularly positive and depressive/anxious symptomatology were associated with psychosis-related traumatic symptoms at both weeks 1 and 8. These data suggest that, in general, schizophrenic and delusional symptoms are more traumatic than the coercive measures used to control them.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
