Social Functioning of Patients Suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and Working Ability

Sažetak
The aim of the paper is a comparative analysis of the social
functioning of patients who are suffering from PTSD
according to working ability. Two groups of patients with
PTSD were interviewed. The first one consisted of 80 patients
who were estimated as able to work (by the psychiatrist who
treated the patient) and the second one as unable to work.
In this research we used the WHO Psychiatric Disability
Assessment Schedule (WHO/DAS, 1988). The data was
statistically arranged by SAS. The results indicate that work disability was statistically significantly correlated to some
social dysfunctions: in participation in housework, parent
role, work role – with regard to the interest in going back to
work and execution of work and general social functioning.
The conclusions are that patients who are suffering from
PTSD and are not able to work showed lower interest in
going back to work and execution of work, expressed
dysfunctions in the parental role, in participation in
housework and general social functioning.
