Latent profile analysis and influencing factors of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in young and middle-aged spinal cord injury patients

PTSD symptom severity in young and middle-aged spinal cord injury patients is characterized by substantial heterogeneity. A number of factors may influence the potential categories of PTSD symptom severity in young and middle-aged spinal cord injury patients, including the patient's form of medical payment, the occurrence of complications, disease awareness, level of self-care, positive and negative coping strategies, social support, and rumination thinking. The findings of this study may serve as a new reference point for the implementation of different intervention and prevention strategies for patients.
