IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMA AND PERCEIVED STRESS ON PATIENTS WITH CONVERSION DISORDER
Abstract
The current study aims to examine the impact of childhood trauma and perceived stress on patients with conversion disorder. The sample for the present research (N=200) was collected from Bahawal Victoria Hospital (BVH), Shakoor Mind Care Institute, Bahawalpur (SMI), Civil Hospital Bahawalpur (CHB) and Nishtar Hospital Multan (NHM) through simple random sampling technique. Childhood trauma was measured through Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and Perceived Stress was measured using Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Diagnosed conversion patients were selected for the present study. The results indicated that childhood trauma experience was significantly positively correlated with conversion disorder. Similarly, perceived stress was also significantly positively correlated with conversion disorder
