OBJECTIVE
Comparing the outcomes of veterans who served in Korea and those who served elsewhere, we examined the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), other mental health conditions, psychiatric treatment locations, and six mental health well-being measures.
METHODS
The analytic sample consisted of nationally representative data from the 2001 National Survey of Veterans (NSV). Analyses included multiple logistic regressions that controlled for sociodemographic characteristics.
RESULTS
Korean era veterans in the NSV (n = 4030): 1498 served in Korea; 2532 elsewhere during the era. Veterans who served in Korea have notably poorer mental health than those who served elsewhere.
CONCLUSION
These results suggest higher resource needs among aging Korean era veterans. Clinicians, policy makers and the Department of Veterans Affairs should focus on mental health services to older veterans.
目的
通过比较曾在韩国和其他地方服兵役的退伍军人的结果，我们考察了创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）、其他心理健康状况、精神科治疗地点以及六项心理健康福祉指标的治疗情况。
方法
分析样本由具有全国代表性的 2001 年全国退伍军人调查（NSV）数据组成。分析包括控制社会人口特征的多项逻辑回归。
结果
NSV 中的朝鲜时代退伍军人（n=4030）：1498 人在韩国服役；2532 人在该时代在其他地方服役。在韩国服役的退伍军人的心理健康状况明显比在其他地方服役的退伍军人差。
结论
这些结果表明，老年朝鲜时代退伍军人的资源需求更高。临床医生、政策制定者和退伍军人事务部应将重点放在为老年退伍军人提供精神卫生服务上。
