Abstract
This article reviews the findings from the studies on
disasters and Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) conducted
during the last decade in Korea. Forty-five studies
directly related to the psychological impact and
stress from various types of disasters were selected
through a literature search. We present prevalence/
incidence, risk factors and other variables related to
disasters, the treatments, and case reports. Most of the
studies have not yet systematically examined different
types of disaster and trauma, and have strong methodological
weaknesses. It is suggested that further systematic
studies are greatly needed to understand the
comprehensive aspect of disaster and PTSD, especially
focusing on the epidemiology, child and adolescent
victims, biological aspects, pharmacotherapy, and psychological
treatments.
