While the long-term effects of combat trauma on veterans have been studied extensively, its impact on veterans' wives has yet to be investigated. This study examined the implications of combat-induced psychopathology--wartime combat stress reaction (CSR) and current posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)--in a sample of 205 wives of Israeli combat veterans of the 1982 Lebanon war. Results show that both CSR and PTSD were associated with increased psychiatric symptoms in the wives. In addition, current PTSD was particularly found to contribute to impaired social relations among veterans' wives in a broad range of contexts, from inner feelings of loneliness, through impaired marital and family relations, and extending to the wider social network. Implications of these findings for treatment and further research are discussed.
虽然战斗创伤对退伍军人的长期影响已得到广泛研究，但其对退伍军人妻子的影响尚未得到调查。本研究在1982年黎巴嫩战争的205名以色列退伍军人妻子样本中，考察了战斗诱发的精神病理学——战时战斗应激反应（CSR）和当前创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）——的影响。结果表明，CSR和PTSD均与妻子的精神症状增加有关。此外，特别发现当前的PTSD在广泛的情境中导致退伍军人妻子的社会关系受损，从内心的孤独感，到受损的婚姻和家庭关系，再延伸到更广泛的社交网络。讨论了这些发现对治疗和进一步研究的意义。
