Key Points

  • The aim is to identify predictors of PTSD symptom severity in healthcare and non-healthcare students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Comparison of PTSD symptom severity between healthcare and non-healthcare students.
  • Analysis of external stressors and personal resources affecting mental distress.
  • Evaluation of tailored interventions for different work-life settings.
  • Healthcare students exhibit greater PTSD symptom severity than non-healthcare peers.
  • Differential risk factors are identified based on work-life settings.
  • Tailored interventions are recommended to effectively mitigate symptoms.

Abstract

Contextualizing results within similar socio-political landscape elucidates the complex interplay between external stressors, personal resources, and mental distress. Interventions to mitigate PTSD symptom severity in times of crises should be tailored to stratified groups based on their work-life settings to better account for differential risk factors of seemingly homogeneous populations.
