A respiratory therapist works with a Covid-19 patient in the ICU at Rush University Medical Center on Jan. 31, 2022 in Chicago.Latino family members of Covid-19 ICU patients face a higher risk of developing PTSD symptoms than other groups, according toThe findings reveal that Latino families of Covid-19 patients in the ICU are more likely to experience symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder.
“These very special and unique acts of what we called acts of compassion or acts of kindness mattered so much to people,” Lauren Jodi Van Scoy, the study’s co-author, told NBC News in a phone call. “Unfortunately, in the Hispanic group, they were less likely, or it was less common, that they were reporting these acts.”
While experts are not exactly sure why Latinos are most impacted by PTSD symptoms, they said bias and a lack of culturally competent medical care may play a role. Amass added: “Given both the societal context of the early days of the pandemic [and] historical challenges of trust with different racial and ethnic groups with the health care system, I think this really exacerbated that and that may have disproportionately impacted those of Hispanic ethnicity.”
