This community-based study examined emotional and somatic symptoms of 129 Bedouin women whose husbands serve in the Israel Defense Forces. Wives of men diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) reported more symptoms than wives of men diagnosed with other disorders and wives of men with no diagnosis. Findings indicate that not only was PTSD in Bedouin servicemen positively associated with their wives' symptoms of posttraumatic stress and depression and somatic complaints, but that this relationship was fully mediated by husbands' aggression. Unraveling the special circumstances of women from traditional backgrounds faced with the devastating effects of husbands' combat-related posttraumatic pathology may inform an approach to the concept of vicarious trauma that is more specific to non-Western societies.
这项基于社区的研究调查了 129 名贝都因妇女的情绪和躯体症状，她们的丈夫在以色列国防军中服役。被诊断患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的男性的妻子比被诊断患有其他障碍和没有诊断的男性的妻子报告了更多的症状。研究结果表明，不仅 PTSD 会对贝都因军人及其妻子的创伤后应激、抑郁和躯体症状产生积极影响，而且这种关系完全是由丈夫的攻击性所介导的。揭示传统背景下的女性在面对丈夫与战斗相关的创伤后病理的破坏性影响时的特殊情况，可以为一种更特定于非西方社会的替代性创伤概念提供信息。
