Uses the structural formula questionnaire survey and the psychometric scale, by the surveyor to all investigation object explanation evaluation goal and the concrete method, then take the regiment as the unit, by are few in or was equal to 50 artificial group, the total 10 groups, carry on the evaluation separately. 2. According to the results of all PCL≥38 points or more, by two clinical psychiatrists (deputy director of Physicians), composed of group interviews, according to clinical diagnosis will be one by one scale that is face-to-face psychological assessment, and then make a diagnosis of PTSD. 3. To measures the data, carries on the data analysis with the SPSS11.5 software.Results: (A)Helicopter flight group's PTSD sieves looks up the positive rate is the 14.17%, PTSD disease incidence rate is 7.36%, is higher than the entire armed forces and the air force overall level. (B) PTSD positive mainly in the 19-year-old to 22-year-old young officers and soldiers.
