Prevalence and associated factors of post-traumatic stress disorders among LGBTQI+ adults: a systematic literature review
The results show the importance of considering PTSD/C-PTSD among LGBTQI+ individuals in clinical practice and research. Higher quality studies are needed to quantify the extent of the problem. Healthcare professionals must be trained in the specific factors that may contribute to PTSD/C-PTSD symptoms in LGBTQI+ individuals. This cannot be achieved without public policies aimed at preventing all forms of violence against the LGBTQI+ population and ensuring access to equal rights.
