The purpose of this study is to determine combat related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and severity occurrence rate among Erenköy Turkish Cypriot Fighters and Turkish Cypriot Fighters who participated in the Cyprus War. The importance of the present study is based on the sheer absence of any studies related to Cyprus War participants and Erenköy Turkish Cypriot Fighters.
The sample taken consist of 100 male Turkish Cypriot Fighters – 50 who battled in Erenköy and 50 who battled in other regions of Cyprus during the Cyprus War between 1963 and 1974. For the present study, a structured interview was conducted. Demographic information as well as pre-war, during war and post-war ınformation was obtained. PTSD was diagnosed using the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS).
