Prevalence and Risk Factors of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders among the Survivors of 2015 Nepal Earthquake, in Dhading, Nepal

“…A previous study of the Haiti earthquake also inveterate that being female as the risk factor for PTSD (Fawzi et al, 2009). This result was also steady with the previous earthquake surveys which found that being female as the predictor of PTSD (Kun et al, 2009;L.-P. Zhang et al, 2015). Gender differences in exposure to terror may be attributable to a number of factors; among these are women's higher senses of risk and poorer self-efficacy, as well as their inclination to use less useful coping strategies than men and tended to construe disasters more negatively (Solomon, Gelkopf, & Bleich, 2005).…”

Hierarchy, Construction, or Mentality: Capacity-Limiting Government Actions in the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake of China

“…Studies have identified all of these symptoms in the Wenchuan Earth quake survivors (Xu and Song 2011). While some studies have focused on PTSD and public psychological interventions at the local level in the earthquake affected area (Kun et al 2009;Li et al 2011), the effectiveness of these interventions remains unclear.
