The current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are producing large numbers of veterans who have experienced a variety of combat stressors. The potential impact of combat exposure has been established, including significant rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Limited research has examined potential differences between veteran groups and one study to date has examined differences between eras in terms of treatment response. The present study seeks to examine cohort differences between Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans and Vietnam veterans (N = 101) before and after completing treatment for PTSD using cognitive processing therapy. Findings suggest that veterans from these eras responded differently to treatment and there are multiple variables that should be considered in future cohort studies.
目前在伊拉克和阿富汗的战争产生了大量经历过各种战斗压力的退伍军人。已经确定了战斗暴露的潜在影响，包括创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的高发病率。有限的研究检查了退伍军人群体之间的潜在差异，迄今为止，一项研究检查了不同时代在治疗反应方面的差异。本研究旨在使用认知加工疗法检查持久自由行动和伊拉克自由行动的退伍军人与越南退伍军人（N=101）在完成 PTSD 治疗前后的队列差异。研究结果表明，来自这些时代的退伍军人对治疗的反应不同，在未来的队列研究中应考虑多个变量。
