Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Introduction

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was introduced under the mental health nomenclature in the year 1980 along with the manual of APA's (American Psychiatric Association's) statistics and diagnostics.

Hypothesis

H0: People who suffer traumatic events in both short and long term suffer with post traumatic stress disorder.

Methods

The approach used for this research would be qualitative, it is evident that the strategy used will be inductive as existing theories with regards to concepts and phenomenon will be discussed in the form of words and meaning and it will be derived out of this process via these means. The research will also use a case study strategy and will involve the collection of secondary data. Secondary data would be collected from books, journals and quality websites. The data will be collected from Literature reviews i.e. the reviews of research papers, industry publication and journals. The primary data is conducted and it is collected through semi-structured interviews.

One of the major advantages of using the qualitative approach is that it provides the perspective of the researcher and focuses on the value and quality of the data. Moreover, qualitative studies cover social, interpersonal and cultural areas of project management more than the approach of quantitative research approach. Since, the viewpoint of researcher takes a central role in the research process, the researcher provides a much wider range of description compared to what is provided by the approach of quantitative ...
