In this study, the authors examined the marital adjustment, spousal aggression, and sexual satisfaction of prisoners of war (POWs) 3 decades after their release. More specifically, the authors examined the extent to which impaired marital relations among former POWs are an outcome of their captivity or of the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that some of them developed. The authors compared 25 former POWs with PTSD, 85 former POWs without PTSD, and 104 control veterans. The findings reveal that the marital problems of former POWs are more related to PTSD than to their captivity. PTSD is related to decreased marital satisfaction, increased verbal aggression, and heightened sexual dissatisfaction among former POWs.
在本研究中，作者对战争囚犯（POWs）获释30年后的婚姻调适、配偶间攻击行为及性满意度进行了调查。更具体地说，作者研究了前战俘婚姻关系受损在多大程度上是其被俘经历的结果，或是他们中一些人所患创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的结果。作者将25名患有创伤后应激障碍的前战俘、85名未患创伤后应激障碍的前战俘以及104名对照退伍军人进行了比较。研究结果显示，前战俘的婚姻问题与创伤后应激障碍的关联比与被俘经历的关联更大。创伤后应激障碍与前战俘婚姻满意度降低、言语攻击行为增加以及性方面的不满加剧有关。
