Prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder and associated factors among police officers in Central Gondar Zone, North West Ethiopia, 2023: institutional-based cross-sectional study
According to this study, police officers suffered from a significant burden of post-traumatic stress disorder. Female sex, police personnel directly exposed to traumatic events, current alcohol users, and those who had poor social support were found to be strongly associated with post-traumatic stress disorder. Therefore, early detection and intervention are crucial to mitigating the overall problem.
