SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The researcher explored the problem of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Biafra War survivors in Eastern Nigeria, formerly known as Biafra. In addition to the unresolved conflict, the gap in shared stories of survivors contributes to an inability to achieve reconciliation. The researcher utilized a culture-comparative, postpositivist, and transformative theoretical framework, and an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. Quantitative data on PTSD in Biafra War survivors was collected using the PTSD checklist (PCL-5) along with demographic information through sampling conducting at a main marketplace in Owerri, Nigeria. Those data were then analyzed through multiple regression of PTSD risk factors and applied to hypothetical codes for the conducting of open-ended interviews. Results indicated that despite relatively low levels of PTSD, specific criteria were widely prevalent. Risk factors and hypothetical codes established three overarching themes of sadness, anger, and responsibility. These themes suggested explanations of the quantitative data through the lens of continuing mourning and conflict. The significance of this study is suggested through making the case for an urgent need for Nigeria to address the unresolved issue of Biafra.
