  1. *According to the order of appearance of the survey forms, an imbalance in the completion rate was noted between the first questionnaire (Personal life questionnaire) and the last form (Personal and Professional questionnaire used to research the factors associated with the psychological disorders studied) (higher completion rate for the first questionnaire). To evaluate the prevalence associated with psychological disorders, all the answers filled in for each scale of evaluation of the latter were taken into account, although the questionnaire was not completed in full. For this reason, a difference in the numbers analyzed (between those for the prevalence of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression and those for the analysis of associated factors) is observed (see Fig. 1). The search for factors associated with the occurrence of psychological disorders was carried out on 525 people (those who completed all the survey forms)
