To identify clinical indicators related to the nursing diagnosis Post-trauma syndrome in women victims of violence. A systematic review to estimate diagnostic accuracy indices was conducted.

Twelve clinical indicators were investigated: depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, alcohol abuse, stress overload, illicit drug use, body image disorder, paranoid ideation, hostility, somatic symptoms, insomnia, binge eating, and obesity. The six articles included in the quantitative synthesis provided four clinical indicators feasible for statistical analysis: depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, somatic symptoms, and stress overload.
