Abstract

The authors examined the longitudinal association between persisting posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and multiple domains of life functioning in a community sample of 1,377 American Legionnaire Vietnam veterans first assessed in 1984 and followed-up 14 years later. Almost 30 years after their return from Vietnam, 10% of veterans continued to experience severe PTSD symptoms. At all levels of combat exposure, persisting severe PTSD symptoms were associated with worse family relationships, more smoking, less life satisfaction and happiness, more mental health service use, and more nonspecific health complaints at the 14-year follow-up. Further investigation is needed to determine whether the PTSD-functioning relationship is causal and if successful treatment of PTSD is associated with improvement in functioning.

摘要

作者对1984年首次评估并在14年后进行随访的1377名美国退伍军人越南战争退伍军人社区样本中持续存在的创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状与生活功能的多个领域之间的纵向关联进行了研究。从越南回国近30年后,10%的退伍军人仍继续经历严重的PTSD症状。在所有战斗暴露水平上,在14年的随访中,持续存在的严重PTSD症状与更糟糕的家庭关系、更多吸烟、更低的生活满意度和幸福感、更多使用心理健康服务以及更多非特异性健康投诉相关。需要进一步调查以确定PTSD与功能之间的关系是否为因果关系,以及PTSD的成功治疗是否与功能改善相关。
