Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : PTSD is a common anxiety disorder resulting from experiencing severe trauma. Nurses experience many stresses in hospital setting and are prone to developing PTSD. We performed this study in order to determine prevalence of PTSD in nurses working in university hospitals, Fasa, Iran. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study in which 140 nurses working in hospital were chosen as study sample. PLC-C questionnaire was used. Nurses were divided into 6 groups according to the ward where they worked: Cardiac, Pediatric, Internal, General Surgery, ICU, and Emergency Department. Results: We found the prevalence of PTSD to be 48% in our study. PTSD prevalence was higher in 3 wards: Emergency Department 62.5%, Pediatrics 59.1%, and Cardiac wards 58.4%. Prevalence of PTSD did not correlate with age, years at work, marital status, and wards where nurses worked. Conclusion: We found that prevalence of PTSD were high in our study group comparing with previous studies. It is very important to provide enough support for nurses in order to prevent mental illnesses including PTSD.
