Comparative StudyImpact of war stress on posttraumatic stress symptoms in hospital personnel.
This study examines the relationship between exposure to war stress and posttraumatic symptoms among nurses and physicians in a general hospital targeted by missiles. ⋯ These findings show that nurses suffered from more severe posttraumatic symptoms compared to physicians after exposure to prolonged war stress. The gap between physicians and nurses warrants further study.
