Prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder in Peruvian military: a cross-sectional study
We found that nearly one in ten military personnel presented PTSD. Factors associated with a higher prevalence included longer service time, smoking, insomnia, and fear of COVID-19. Although resilience showed a protective trend in crude analyses, this association was not significant after adjustment.
