Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents did not indicate symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as many as 12 people (18.5%) and most of them indicated symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from mild to severe severity as many as 53 people (81.5%). Most of them were aged between 17-45 years as many as 51 people (78.4%) and a small portion aged 46-65 years &> 65 years as many as 14 people (21.6%).
