The Impact

Background: Post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), as well as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) itself, are common sequelae of disasters, including disease outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding their frequency and correlates is essential to developing preventive, therapeutic and supportive measures in a time of crisis. Methods: A scoping review of the literature pertaining to PTSS and PTSD in relation to COVID-19 was carried out with the primary objective of assessing the frequency of PTSS/PTSD and the factors associated with it, and the secondary objective of summarizing expert recommendations in this field. For this purpose, PubMed and Embase literature databases were searched using the terms “COVID-19”, “nCoV-2”, “post-traumatic stress disorder”, “PTSS”, “PTSD” and “traumatization” in various combinations. A total of 10 relevant publications were found, which were tabulated and organized into original research on PTSS/PTSD (n = 7) and expert opinions or reviews (n = 3). Results: The frequency of PTSS ranged from 7-34%, depending on study population and methodology. Gender, marital status, physical symptoms, and a prior psychiatric diagnosis were associated with the severity of PTSS. Expert opinions highlighted the prolonged nature of the impact of COVID-19, the need for long-term preventive and treatment strategies, and the need for innovation and collaboration in research and dissemination of information. Conclusions: The COVID-19 outbreak is likely to leave a large number of persons suffering from PTSD in its wake. The above results may help us to identify those at risk in order to deliver preventive or early therapeutic interventions.
