Influencing factors of early post-traumatic stress disorder in young and middle-aged individuals with open globe injuries in west China: a cross-sectional study

Young and middle-aged patients with open globe injuries have a high incidence of PTSD. Significant risk factors for early PTSD include primary enucleation, high levels of rumination, and low psychological resilience (optimism). Conversely, patients with good postoperative vision recovery, low rumination levels, and high levels of optimism are less likely to develop PTSD. Healthcare providers should pay special attention to patients who undergo primary enucleation, strive to reduce their rumination levels, and enhance their psychological resilience, thereby promoting a positive and optimistic attitude towards their condition and reducing the incidence of PTSD.
