“…10 In previous studies of natural disaster survivors, the point prevalence of PTSD has been reported to be as low as 5% and as high as 60%. [11][12][13] The prevalence rate of 19.2% for symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of PTSD in the population we studied was slightly lower than the 25% reported 6 months after Hurricane Andrew. 6 This is not entirely unexpected given that the current study population may be better off than other post-Katrina New Orleans residents with respect to employment, income, and access to health care.…”

“…23 Gulf War veterans' higher scores for somatization, the reporting of symptoms that have no pathophysiologic explanation, are consistent with a modern national trend of decreased tolerance for mild symptoms. 71 The Hopkins Symptom Checklist has been used to screen populations for anxiety, 72 depression, 72 and post-traumatic stress disorder, 73 as well as to follow therapeutic interventions. 74 Using linear regression, we compared the Hopkins Symptom Checklist dimensions with individual exposures and found that each of the psychological symptom dimensions was associated with many of the war exposures.…”

“…Les plus fréquemment recensés sont la nervosité, les peurs, les phobies, l'anxiété, la présence de manifestations dépressives, la colère, la culpabilité, les troubles du sommeil tels que les cauchemars et l'insomnie, la fatigue, l'hypertension ainsi que certains symptômes s'apparentant à l'état de stress post-traumatique (ÉSPT) (reviviscence de l'événement, hypervigilance, soubresauts, difficultés de concentration, hyperactivité, troubles de la mémoire, etc.) (Bolin, 1982;Crabbs & Heffron, 1981;Farberow, 1985;Gibbs, Green, & Winget, 1981;Green, 1991;Hartsough, 1982;Krug et al, 1998;Logue et al, 1981a;Madakasira & O'Brien, 1987;Meunier & Pierandrei, 1994;Norris et al, 2002;North et al, 1989;Rubonis & Bickman, 1991;Sharan, Chaudhary, Kavathekar, & Sexena, 1996;Shore, Tatum, & Vullmer, 1986, Shore, Vullmer, & Tatum, 1989Titchener & Kapp, 1976 (Norris et al, 2002;Shore et al, 1989;Voguei & Vernberg, 1993 Plusieurs études se sont également attardées à la durée des symptômes ressentis chez les individus à la suite des catastrophes. Certaines ont démontré que l'intensité de la plupart des symptômes ressentis chez les victimes atteint son apogée dans la première année suivant l'événement (Norris et al,, 2002) et va, par la suite, diminuer graduellement (Adams & Adams, 1984;Green, Grace, Lingy, Titchener, & Lindy, 1983;Murphy, 1986a;Parker, 1977;Phifer & Norris, 1989;Shore et al, 1986;Solomon & Green, 1992 ;Steinglass & Gerrity, 1990 ;Thompson, Norris, & Hanacek, 1993).…”

“…Des chercheurs, ayant comparé des groupes de personnes âgées à des victimes plus jeunes, ont constaté, pour leur part, que les aînés seraient moins affectés que les plus jeunes adultes (Bell, 1978;Bell, Kara, & Batterson 1978;Bolin & Klenow, 1982Green, Gleser, Lindy, Grace, & Leonard, 1996;Huerta & Horton, 1978;Hutchins & Norris, 1989;Kato, Asukai, Miyaké, Minakawa, & Nishiyama, 1996;Knight et al, 2000;Norris & Murrel, 1988;Thompson, Norris, & Hanacek, 1993;Tyler & Hoyt, 2000;Weintraub & Ruskin, 1999). D'autres auteurs soutiennent, quant à eux, que les personnes âgées seraient autant affectées que les victimes plus jeunes (Burger, Van Staden, & Nieuwouldt, 1989;Chung, Dennis, Easthope, Farmer, & Warret, 2005 ;Fields, 1996 ;Goenjian et al, 1994 ;Hovington, Lalande & Maltais, 2002 ;Livingston, Livingston, Brooks, & McKinlay, 1992;Ollendick & Hoffman, 1982;Shore et al, 1986 (Carr et al, 1997;Crabbs & Heffron, 1981;Krause, 1987;Lewin et al, 1998;Lifton & Oison, 1976;Livingston, Livingston, & Fell, 1994;Logue, Melick, & Stuening, 1981b;Madakasira & O'Brien, 1987;Miller, Turner, & Kimball, 1981;Ollendick & Hoffman, 1982;Phifer, Kaniasty, & Norris, 1988;Phifer & Norris, 1989;Price, 1978;Tanida, 1996;Ticehurst et al, 1996). …”
