The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic lacks precedence in numerous ways. Research conducted recently shows that military healthcare workers and other general healthcare workers (HCWs) suffer from mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS).
Previous studies have pointed out the chief elements associated with temporary PTSS in pandemic HCWs but limited information is available on factors that are linked with long-term PTSS.
This case study conducted by company C attempts to make findings on military HCWs in relation to the trauma.
B. Objective
The aim of the study was to investigate whether the elements associated with short-term PTSS in COVID-19 military HCWs were also linked to long-term PTSS in military peacekeepers.
C. External Analysis
I. Military peacekeepers that were affected by pandemic-related stress after deployment to a United Nations peacekeeping mission were incorporated in the study.
II. Post-traumatic stress was diagnosed using the military version post-traumatic stress disorder checklist.
III. Likely elements associated with post-traumatic stress syndrome were assessed by descriptive instruments.
IV. The relationship between these elements and post-traumatic stress syndrome was explored by performing a multiple linear regression analysis.
