Course overview
This online independent study activity is credited for 2 contact hours. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a syndrome that results from exposure to real or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual assault. The symptoms of PTSD include persistently re-experiencing the traumatic event, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, dissociation, intense negative emotions such as sadness and guilt, and physiological reactions when exposed to the traumatic reminder. Having awareness regarding the signs and symptoms of PTSD is essential for healthcare professionals to start early treatment and limit the burden of the illness on the person who suffers from PTSD.
