Abstract

The study aimed to compare the quality of life (QoL) in two communities with different exposures to conflict and investigate the inter-relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social support, and QoL. This is a cross-sectional with 413 participants. Study instruments included the PTSD module of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), the World Health Organization Quality of Life BREF (WHOQoL-BREF), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The family domain of social support was protective of both PTSD and QoL. Except for the relationship between community's location and the physical subscale of the QoL, a hierarchical regression analysis showed that all the independent variables were significantly associated with the QoL domains. Direct exposure to crises impaired QoL more than areas indirectly exposed. PTSD and the family domain of social support play a significant role in the QoL outcome. This suggests that therapeutic intervention to improve QoL should target these key variables.

尼日利亚两个冲突后社区的生活质量及其与创伤后应激障碍和社会支持的相互关系。

该研究旨在比较两个不同冲突社区的生活质量（QoL），并调查创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）、社会支持和 QoL 之间的相互关系。这是一项横断面研究，共有 413 人参加。研究工具包括国际综合诊断访谈（CIDI）的创伤后应激障碍模块、世界卫生组织生活质量BREF（WHOQoL-BREF）和感知社会支持多维量表（MSPSS）。家庭领域的社会支持对创伤后应激障碍和生活质量都有保护作用。分层回归分析表明，除了社区位置与 QoL 物质分量表之间的关系外，所有自变量都与 QoL 领域有显著相关。与间接接触危机的地区相比，直接接触危机的地区对 QoL 的损害更大。创伤后应激障碍和社会支持的家庭领域在 QoL 结果中起着重要作用。这表明，改善 QoL 的治疗干预应针对这些关键变量。
