    • Abstract:
      Purpose: to evaluate factors associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression in a sample of hospitalized Lebanese adult males who directly or indirectly were involved in armed conflicts.
      Design: Cross-sectional.
      Methods: Seventy-seven hospitalized males were enrolled between June and December 2016. The Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview were used to assess anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
      Results: Participation in war (adjusted odds ratio [ORa] = 6.35) and depression (ORa = 1.08) were associated with higher PTSD, whereas age (ORa = 0.94) and substance use (ORa = 0.19) were associated with lower PTSD. Anxiety (β = .87), substance use (β = 6.27) and PTSD (β = 8.78; P = .008) were associated with higher depression.
      Practice Implications: People who experienced war conflicts (directly or indirectly) are more prone to suffer from mental health disorders.
