abstract="OBJECTIVE Determining the labor factors associated with post-traumatic stress in uniformed workers in Medellin. <br><br>METHOD A cross-sectional study was made of 124 uniformed workers aged 20 to 48 years-old. A survey was made using an adults' post-traumatic stress instrument which had been validated in Medellin. Statistical analysis was carried out. <br><br>RESULTS Post-traumatic stress disorder risk prevalence was 52.2 %. Multivariate analysis showed that the highest risk situations were those related to previous mental health diagnosis (PR=7.67), working schedule (4.24), violent episodes (PR=3.59) and community relationships (PR=2.73). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS A person's current labor situation seemed to be a risk factor for developing post-traumatic stress in the target population.<p /> <p>Language: es</p>",
