Abstract
This article investigates post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms reported by doctors working in the aftermath of the Omagh bombing. Doctors responding to surveys 4 and 17 months after the incident reported the lowest symptom levels compared with other health service staff, with only 12% (2) above PTSD threshold at 17 months. Junior doctors had higher mean PTSD scores than seniors, although numbers are too small to test significance. Possible explanations are discussed and recommendations made.Entities:
