摘要

The predominant mental health outcome associated with natural or manufactured disasters and stressful events is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Public health expenditures associated with post-conflict situations constrain research on PTSD in low-income nations. The main objective of this study was to ascertain the prevalence and risk factors for PTSD among internally displaced individuals in the Gura Ferda district of southwestern Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional survey was undertaken among internally displaced individuals in the Gura Ferda district of southwestern Ethiopia from January 1 to February 1, 2022. The prevalence of Probable PTSD symptoms among residents was 51.2%. The results revealed that female (AOR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.13–3.16), alcohol consumption (AOR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.03–3.39), khat chewing (AOR: 2.46, 95% CI: 1.05–5.78), family history of mental illness (AOR: 10.67, 95% CI: 4.36–38.03), previous history of mental illness (AOR: 2.56, 95% CI: 1.35–4.87), destruction of personal property (AOR: 2.24, 95% CI: 1.24–4.06), lack of food or water (AOR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.10–3.69), physical injury (AOR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.10–3.85), and illness without medical care (AOR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.24–3.68) were independently associated with probable PTSD.
