Psychiatric disorders of Croatian army soliders in east Slavonia hospitalized on psychiatric clinic in Osijek

Od početka srpnja 1991. godine do kraja travnja 1992. godine na Psihijatrijsku kliniku u Osijeku upućen je veći broj pripadnika Hrvatske vojske od kojih je 13% zadržano na bolničkom liječenju. Svi bolesnici svrstani su u 12 dijagnostičkih skupina i analizirani prema dužini boravka u HV, prethodnom liječenju, mjestu nastanka poremećaja (borbeni položaj-pozadina), sposobnosti za daljnje služenje u vojsci. Broj prijema na Kliniku postupno se povećavao, a u korelaciji je s jačinom agresije na općinu Osijek. Dvije dominantne dijagnostičke skupine su akutna reakcija na stres i PTSD, na koje otpada više od 40% prijema. Kako se u ove dvije skupine očekivao i najveći broj oporavaka i najveći broj povratnika na bojište, njima je dan prioritet u dijagnostici, liječenju i rehabilitaciji.From the beginning of July 1991 till the end of April 1992 larger number of Croatian soldiers were sent to the psychiatric clinic and 13% of them were kept in hospital. All patients were arranged into 12 diagnostical groups and were analysed according their staying in Croatian army, previous medical treatment, according the place where aberration arised (fighting postion-background), and their ability for further staying in the army. Number of received patients at the clinic gradually have become larger as the agression on the township Osijek become stronger. Two dominant diagnostical groups are acute stress reaction and PTSD, and over 40% of patients were from these two groups. As we have expected the largest number of recoveries in those two groups and their return on the battlefield, such patients had priority in diagnosis, medicaltreatment and rehabilitation
