Military sexual trauma (MST) is a widespread problem associated with negative psychological and physical health problems. This article presents the current state of MST research and highlights specific areas in need of more focused study. Areas that have produced the greatest body of knowledge include MST prevalence and psychological and physical health correlates. We propose a research agenda based on gaps noted in our research review and empirical and theoretical evidence of issues relevant to but not studied directly in MST populations. We present evidence that MST is qualitatively distinct from other forms of sexual maltreatment in terms of its relational and vocational context as well as the severity of associated psychological distress, examine underexplored gender and sexual issues in MST, and discuss the lack of treatment and prevention studies specific to MST. Specific recommendations are made throughout in an attempt to guide and advance the field.
军事性创伤(Military sexual trauma,MST)是一个普遍存在的问题,与负面的心理和身体健康问题有关。本文介绍了 MST 研究的现状,并强调了需要更集中研究的特定领域。已经产生了最多知识的领域包括 MST 的流行率以及心理和身体健康的相关性。我们根据研究综述中指出的差距以及与 MST 人群直接相关但未直接研究的问题的实证和理论证据,提出了一个研究议程。我们提出证据表明,MST 在其关系和职业背景以及相关心理困扰的严重程度方面与其他形式的性虐待有本质上的不同,研究了 MST 中未充分探讨的性别和性问题,并讨论了缺乏针对 MST 的特定治疗和预防研究。在整个过程中提出了具体建议,试图指导和推动该领域的发展。
