Posttraumatic stress disorder following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake: A 10-year systematic review among highly exposed populations in China.
The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake was unprecedented in Chinese history both in terms of the magnitude of the quake itself and the scale of human suffering. Following the disaster, researchers reported on a wide range of mental health outcomes, especially posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In this review, we assess the cumulative body of research evidence about PTSD across the first 10 years following the earthquake. We searched the literature in the PubMed, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases (from May 2008 to February 2018) using Wenchuan earthquake and PTSD as keywords. We selected 58 relevant studies. Published findings from the selected period suggested a substantial burden of PTSDthe view from the lateral windows. The rear- and side-view mirrors were inset on the LCD monitors simulating the positions in a real car. The simulator included a motion seat with three degrees of freedom, a force-feedback steering wheel, a dashboard with the speedometer and other instrument displays, and all the usual controls found in an automatic transmission car. The simulated drives took place in a 1600 × 800-m virtual world.

Events in the virtual world were programmed through a scenario development toolbox (FAAC Corp.) that rendered the movement of pedestrians and vehicles dependent on the location of the participant\'s vehicle within the world. Data from the simulator stream (including the location and status of all programmed objects and the driver\'s car in the virtual world) were continuously recorded
