Although separation anxiety disorder appears to be common among children exposed to disasters, there are no data focusing on the impact of trauma on adult separation anxiety disorder. The present exploratory study examined the relationship of adult separation anxiety disorder with other psychological reactions (posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], complicated grief, depression) and dimensions of trauma among 126 war-affected Bosnian refugees resettled in Australia. Adult separation anxiety disorder was associated with PTSD, but not with complicated grief or depression. Although adult separation anxiety disorder was weakly linked with traumatic losses, this association was nonspecific. Further research is needed to clarify the pathogenic pathways leading to the comorbid PTSD-adult separation anxiety disorder pattern and its clinical implications.
尽管分离焦虑症似乎在遭受灾害的儿童中很常见，但目前尚无专门针对创伤对成人分离焦虑症影响的研究数据。本探索性研究调查了 126 名在澳大利亚重新安置的受战争影响的波斯尼亚难民的成人分离焦虑症与其他心理反应（创伤后应激障碍 [PTSD]、复杂悲痛、抑郁）以及创伤维度之间的关系。成人分离焦虑症与 PTSD 相关，但与复杂悲痛或抑郁无关。尽管成人分离焦虑症与创伤性丧失有微弱关联，但这种关联不具有特异性。需要进一步的研究来阐明导致 PTSD-成人分离焦虑症共病模式的发病途径及其临床意义。
