Psychological distress among Ebola survivors discharged from an Ebola Treatment Unit in Monrovia, Liberia – a quantitative study
Exposure to death in ETU and stigma in communities induced posttraumatic stress reactions and symptoms of depression among Ebola survivors
Abstract
Purposively selected Ebola survivors from ELWA3, the largest Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) in Liberia, were invited to join focus group discussions. Three focus groups with a total of 17 participants were conducted between February and April 2015. The authors used a thematic analysis approach to analyze the data.
This research was supported by the UK Department for International Development’s Operational Research Capacity Building Programme led by the International Union Against TB and Lung Disease (The Union)
