Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multinomial logistic regression models were used to assess prevalence and identify predictors of PTSD and CPTSD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the full sample, 24.5% met criteria for ICD-11 PTSD and 7.6% for CPTSD. Among psychological treatment-seekers, prevalence was higher (PTSD: 28.3%; CPTSD: 9.0%) compared to those seeking exclusively medical care (PTSD: 13.8%; CPTSD: 3.4%). Losing someone close due to the war significantly predicted both PTSD and CPTSD in the final multivariable model, while male gender independently predicted CPTSD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PTSD rates in this sample were broadly comparable to global estimates for conflict-affected populations, whereas CPTSD prevalence appeared lower than that reported in other Ukrainian samples. Relocation to safer areas within one\u2019s own country\u2014without the additional stressors associated with forced international migration\u2014together with the relatively older age of the sample, may have contributed to a reduced CPTSD risk. Sociocultural expectations surrounding masculine roles during wartime might also play a role in male vulnerability to CPTSD, though further evidence is needed. Individuals bereaved by the war may represent a subgroup at heightened risk, highlighting the potential value of targeted psychosocial support. Longitudinal, multi-site studies with diverse samples are needed to clarify symptom trajectories and contextual risk factors in displaced civilians.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00207640261427415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,22]],"date-time":"2026-03-22T14:36:43Z","timestamp":1774190203000},"page":"1700-1709","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["ICD-11 PTSD and Complex PTSD Among Internally Displaced Civilian Outpatients in Ukraine During Wartime"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"72","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0733-0008","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Barbieri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medici per i Diritti Umani\u2014MEDU (Doctors for Human Rights Italy), Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Bastiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research Council Institute of Clinical Physiology CNR-IFC, Massa, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Badalassi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medici per i Diritti Umani\u2014MEDU (Doctors for Human Rights Italy), Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federica","family":"Visco-Comandini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medici per i Diritti Umani\u2014MEDU (Doctors for Human Rights Italy), Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Associazione di Psicologia Cognitiva APC e Scuola di Psicoterapia Cognitiva SPC, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrii","family":"Tomko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medici per i Diritti Umani\u2014MEDU (Doctors for Human Rights Italy), Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanna","family":"Chmielewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medici per i Diritti Umani\u2014MEDU (Doctors for Human Rights Italy), Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-2346.12170"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","unstructured":"Aragona M.
