Halting the process of psychosocial and material resource loss has been theorized as being associated with the reduction of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study examines how the limiting of resource loss is related to alleviation of PTSD symptoms among 102 inner-city women, who originally met diagnostic criteria for PTSD after experiencing interpersonal traumatic events such as child abuse, rape, and sexual assault. Participants whose PTSD symptoms improve and become nondiagnostic for PTSD are compared with those who remain diagnostic. The two groups are not significantly different at pretest. However, at the 6-month time point, those who become nondiagnostic for PTSD report less resources loss in three of four domains. This pattern suggests that as PTSD symptoms decrease, women's material and psychosocial resource loss diminishes, which in turn, may aid their recovery process.
从理论上来说，停止心理社会资源和物质资源丧失的过程与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的减轻有关。本研究调查了在102名市中心区女性中，限制资源丧失与缓解PTSD症状之间的关系，这些女性最初在经历儿童虐待、强奸和性侵犯等人际创伤事件后符合PTSD的诊断标准。将PTSD症状改善并不再符合PTSD诊断标准的参与者与仍符合诊断标准的参与者进行比较。两组在预测试时没有显著差异。然而，在6个月的时间点，那些不再符合PTSD诊断标准的人在四个领域中的三个领域报告的资源丧失较少。这种模式表明，随着PTSD症状的减轻，女性的物质和心理社会资源丧失也会减少，这反过来可能有助于她们的康复过程。
