A convenience sampling strategy was adopted to recruit participants. Participants were asked to complete the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). A multivariable linear stepwise regression analysis model was used to identify which factors were associated with PTSD in residents of China.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> A total of 2,361 Chinese residents completed the questionnaire. The mean PCL-5 score for the respondents was 13.65 (SD = 8.66), with 219 (9.28%) patients having probable PTSD symptoms. Respondents who were female (\u03b2 = 0.038), had a relative or friend who had contracted COVID-19 (\u03b2 = 0.041), and had poor health (\u03b2 = 0.184) had higher PCL-5 scores, while the population aged over 60 years (\u03b2 = \u22120.063), who agreed that COVID-19 information was released in a timely manner (\u03b2 = \u22120.347), who had experienced a relatively limited impact of COVID-19 on their life (\u03b2 = \u22120.069), and who agreed that the local prevention initiatives were sophisticated (\u03b2 = \u22120.165) had lower PTSD scores.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Outbreaks of acute infectious diseases can have long-term psychological health effects in the general population. In addition, health policy makers need to be concerned about and implement measures to support the mental health of vulnerable groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2021.766127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]],"date-time":"2021-11-03T06:32:37Z","timestamp":1635921157000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Associated Factors 1 Year After the Beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic Among Chinese Residents"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Xin","family":"Shen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shijiao","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heng","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rowan","family":"Dowling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zihui","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Crystal Jingru","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaotong","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuanzhu","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Gan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"R147","DOI":"10.1186\/cc5070","article-title":"Social support during intensive care unit stay might improve mental impairment and consequently health-related quality of life in survivors of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome","volume":"10","author":"Deja","year":"2006","journal-title":"Crit Care."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"330","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9020330","article-title":"The Extent of transmission of novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China, 2020","volume":"9","author":"Nishiura","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Clin Med."},{"key":"B3","first-page":"7889","article-title":"Transmission mode associated with coronavirus disease 2019: a review","volume":"24","author":"Vella","year":"2020","journal-title":"Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"400","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)30299-3","article-title":"Offline: 2019-nCoV- \u201ca desperate plea\u201d","volume":"395","author":"Horton","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"228","DOI":"10.1016\/S2215-0366(20)30046-8","article-title":"Timely mental health care for the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak is urgently needed","volume":"7","author":"Xiang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet Psychiat."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"590","DOI":"10.1016\/j.genhosppsych.2010.07.007","article-title":"Risk factors for chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in SARS survivors","volume":"32","author":"Mak","year":"2010","journal-title":"Gen Hosp Psychiatry."},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2142","DOI":"10.1001\/archinternmed.2009.384","article-title":"Mental morbidities and chronic fatigue in severe acute respiratory syndrome survivors: long-term follow-up","volume":"169","author":"Lam","year":"2009","journal-title":"Arch Intern Med."},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"302","DOI":"10.1177\/070674370905400504","article-title":"The psychological impact of the SARS epidemic on hospital employees in China: exposure, risk perception, and altruistic acceptance of risk","volume":"54","author":"Wu","year":"2009","journal-title":"Can J Psychiatry."},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"113172","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psychres.2020.113172","article-title":"Factors associated with depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptomatology during the COVID-19 pandemic: clinical implications for U.
