المستخلص: This study aimed to describe the range symptoms of acute traumatic stress disorder in children and adolescents in the aftermath of trauma due to 51 days war on Gaza in a sample of displaced and non-displaced children and adolescents in the Gaza Strip. Methods: It is descriptive analytic study; the sample consisted of 381 children and adolescents of 7 to 18 years. According to displacement, 190 (50.1%) were not displaced and 191 (49.91%) were displaced. Ninety-four of displaced children were boys (24.67%) and 97 were girls (25.46%), while 73 of not displaced were boys (19.16%) and 117 of not displaced were girls (30.71%). The researcher used three questionnaires; Socio- demographic questionnaire, Gaza Traumatic Events Checklist, and Acute Stress Disorder Scale. Results: This study showed that the most commonly reported traumatic events experienced by both groups (displaced and nondisplaced) during the last war were: hearing shelling of the area , hearing the loud voice of Drones, and watching mutilated bodies in TV. While, displaced children experienced significantly more traumatic event such as: forced to leave home with family members due to shelling, receiving pamphlets from Airplane to leave home at the border, and to move to the city center, threaten by telephone to leave the home for bombardment of home, destroying of their personal belongings during incursion. Displaced children reported more traumatic events than nondisplaced ones (Mean= 13.6 vs. 9.08). There were significant differences between males and females in reporting traumatic events toward boys. Comparing the two groups, 10.0% of non-displaced children and 18.4% of displaced children had acute traumatic stress symptoms. There were significant differences in acute stress disorder symptoms, dissociative symptoms, re-experiencing symptoms, avoidance of the traumatic stimuli symptoms, and hyper arousal symptoms toward displace children. Displaced children significantly reported more acute traumatic stress symptoms than non-displaced children. There were significant association between total traumatic events reported by children and total acute traumatic stress symptoms, re-experiencing symptoms, and hyper arousal symptoms. Conclusion and Recommendations: This study showed that Palestinian children and adolescents were at risk of developing acute stress disorder symptoms after exposure to war. Such findings highlight the needs for mental health services for displaced populations, which must take many forms to include services not only for those directly traumatized by political violence including war, but also for displaced populations coping with the stress of isolation and social dislocation; and severe emotional or mood disturbances.
