Sažetak

Introduction: Post-traumatic embitterment syndrome is a pathological reaction to drastic life
events and does not have the tendency to end. This syndrome also occurs relatively frequently
in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Aim: To investigate post-traumatic embitterment syndrome in patients with post-traumatic
stress disorder.
Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 200 subjects
who were participants in the past war. The research group consists of 100 subjects who
participated in the war and have a diagnosis of PTSD, and the control group consists of 100
healthy volunteers who were in the war but were not previously diagnosed with PTSD.
The study used a sociodemographic questionnaire, a self-assessment questionnaire for post
traumatic embitterment syndrome, and a clinical questionnaire for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Results: Subjects with PTSD show a statistically significantly higher level of post-traumatic
embitterment syndrome compared to subjects without PTSD. There were no statistically
significant differences between the groups that actively and passively participated in the war,
between genders, and between the groups with current PTSD and lifetime PTSD.
Conclusion: Subjects with PTSD show a statistically significantly higher level of post
traumatic embitterment syndrome compared to subjects without PTSD.
