The objectives of this study were to perform an initial needs assessment of partners of Vietnam veterans with combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and to assess the partners' current rates of treatment use. A telephone survey was conducted with 89 cohabitating female partners of male combat veterans who were receiving outpatient PTSD treatment at two Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers. Although large majorities of partners rated individual therapy and family therapy to help cope with PTSD in the family as highly important, only about one-quarter of the partners had received any mental health care in the previous six months. The most commonly requested service was a women-only group.
本研究的目的是对患有与战斗相关创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的越南退伍军人的伴侣进行初步需求评估，并评估伴侣目前的治疗利用率。对在两个退伍军人事务部医疗中心接受门诊PTSD治疗的89名男性战斗退伍军人的同居女性伴侣进行了电话调查。尽管绝大多数伴侣认为个体治疗和家庭治疗对帮助应对家庭中的PTSD非常重要，但在过去六个月中，只有约四分之一的伴侣接受过任何心理健康护理。最常被请求的服务是仅限女性的团体。
