Military sexual trauma (MST) increases the risk for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and multiple other comorbidities, presenting substantial challenges for nurses and psychiatric and medical clinicians. A specialized VA Medical Center outpatient program is patterned after Herman's three-phased, empirically-supported, recovery treatments. We use a case example of a female veteran MST survivor to illustrate our treatment model. She presented to our program meeting diagnostic criteria for PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and a history of substance abuse. Post-treatment she demonstrated improved scores on measures of PTSD, quality of life, and socialization. This model shows promise for treatment of MST survivors with PTSD.
军事性创伤 (MST) 会增加创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 和多种其他合并症的风险,给护士以及精神科和医疗临床医生带来了巨大的挑战。VA 医疗中心的一个专门的门诊项目是基于赫尔曼的三阶段、经验支持的恢复治疗模式。我们使用一名女性退伍军人 MST 幸存者的案例来说明我们的治疗模式。她来我们的项目时符合 PTSD、重度抑郁症和物质滥用史的诊断标准。治疗后,她在 PTSD、生活质量和社交能力方面的测量分数都有所提高。这种模式显示出了治疗 PTSD 退伍军人 MST 幸存者的潜力。
