Posttraumatic stress disorder and depression after the 2018 Strasbourg Christmas Market terrorist attack: a comparison of exposed and non-exposed police personnel

Abstract: Background: Police personnel are among the first responders exposed to terrorist attacks, raising in number in the late decades. Due to their profession, they are also exposed to repetitive violence, increasing their vulnerability to PTSD and depression. Objective: Our study aims at comparing the prevalence of PTSD and depression, and the risk factors associated with these conditions among directly and indirectly exposed versus non-exposed police personnel during the Strasbou… Show more

“…As the name suggests, partial PTSD refers to individuals who exhibit some symptoms of PTSD but do not meet all the criteria for a positive screening. More specifically, the authors define partial PTSD as: ‘Partial PTSD was considered when a participant met two or three of the diagnostic criteria B, C, D, or E’ (Nourry et al, 2023 ). These diagnostic criteria B to E are based on the DSM-5 definition of PTSD (American Psychiatric Association, 2013 ).…”

“…So, by grouping both partial and full PTSD together, it defeats the purpose of examining risk factors for partial PTSD and for PTSD, as it is unclear whether or not the risk factors are associated more for those with partial PTSD, or with those with PTSD. For example, the authors state ‘The participants with partial or complete PTSD used mental health care services significantly more than those with no PTSD (33% and 6%)’ (Nourry et al, 2023 ), without distinguishing partial and full PTSD. Yet, it would have been interesting to know if those with partial PTSD seek out mental health care services more than those with PTSD, as some studies suggest that symptom severity after terrorist attacks is associated with unmet mental health aid needs (Ghuman et al, 2014 ).…”
