Factors associated with post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in the post-quarantine context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Peruvian medical students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The present study aims to explore the factors associated with the development of PTSD in a post-quarantine context due to COVID-19 in medical students.

Objectives

To evaluate the factors associated with the development of post-quarantine PTSD symptoms in medical students from a Peruvian university.

Methods
