 This study investigated the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, cognitive functioning and adjustment problems in women burn survivors. A total of 200 women burn survivors were recruited from burn centers, households and NGOs in Lahore, Gujarat, Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. The participants completed the civilian version of the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the adjustment problem scale for adults. Results showed that PTSD was associated with lower cognitive functioning and poorer adjustment among women burn survivors. Furthermore, the severity of PTSD symptoms was positively correlated with cognitive impairments and negatively correlated with adjustment problems. These findings suggest that PTSD may be a risk factor for cognitive deterioration and poor adjustment in women burn survivors. This article was authored by Zakia Benu and Iram Naz.
