| Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: This was a study of posttraumatic stress symptoms in children and adolescents during siege conditions in Sarajevo. METHOD: Seven hundred ninety-one students aged 7-15 years were surveyed to assess symptoms of posttraumatic stress and level of deprivation. RESULTS: Girls reported more stress than boys. Loss of family members and deprivation of basic needs were associated with more symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Personal experiences of siege are related to increased stress. |
