Exposure therapy is an evidence-based treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but research evaluating its effectiveness with active duty service members is limited. This report examines the effectiveness of virtual reality exposure therapy (VRE) for active duty soldiers (N = 24) seeking treatment following a deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan. Relative to their pretreatment self-reported symptoms on the PTSD Checklist, Military Version (M = 60.92; SD = 11.03), patients reported a significant reduction at posttreatment (M = 47.08; SD = 12.70; p < .001). Sixty-two percent of patients (n = 15) reported a reliable change of 11 points or more. This study supports the effectiveness of exposure therapy for active duty soldiers and extends previous research on VRE to this population.
暴露疗法是创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的一种基于证据的治疗方法，但评估其对现役军人有效性的研究有限。本报告研究了虚拟现实暴露疗法（VRE）对现役士兵（N=24）的有效性，这些士兵在部署到伊拉克或阿富汗后寻求治疗。与他们在创伤后应激障碍检查表，军事版（M=60.92；SD=11.03）上的治疗前自我报告症状相比，患者在治疗后报告的症状显著减少（M=47.08；SD=12.70；p<0.001）。62%的患者（n=15）报告有 11 个点或更多的可靠变化。这项研究支持暴露疗法对现役军人的有效性，并将 VRE 的先前研究扩展到这一人群。
