Objectives : The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of PTSD in subway fire accident survivors.
Methods : Subjects consisted of 129 survivors from the Daegu subway fire accident. The 129 subjects were registered at April, 2003, which was 2 months after the accident, and 49 of them were followed up from June to November 2004. Subjects were assessed at 2 months and 18 months after the accident. All participants completed BDI-II, SCL-90-R, MMPI, PCL-C, STAI-S, STAI-T and IES at the two time points, respectively. CAPS was only administered in the follow-up assessment. Statistical analysis was performed using Binary Logistic regression with SPSS 12.01.
Results : Only the BDI-II total scores at 2 months significantly predicted PTSD at 18 months. Other measures did not significantly predict PTSD.
Conclusion :These findings suggest that high BDI-II total scores at the initial assessment may be regarded as a major predictor of PTSD. Accordingly, early treatment intervention may serve to prevent the chronicity of PTSD among accident survivors.
