The purpose of this study was to investigate combat-related post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and couple relationships in Army couples. US Army combat veteran couples (N = 66 couples) completed self-report questionnaires on couple functioning, coercion, resilience, and PTSS. In 23% of the couples (n = 15), both members had PTSS above the clinical cut-off for suspected Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Higher levels of PTSS were associated with lower couple functioning and resilience. Individuals with high resilience scores reported higher couple functioning scores, regardless of PTSS (p = .004). Future researchers should focus on the role of resilience in relation to couple functioning, and ways to amplify resilience in military couples.
本研究旨在探讨军队夫妻中与战斗相关的创伤后应激症状（PTSS）和夫妻关系。66 对美国陆军退伍军人夫妻（N=66 对）完成了关于夫妻功能、强制、韧性和 PTSS 的自我报告问卷。在 23%的夫妻中（n=15），双方的 PTSS 都高于疑似创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的临床临界值。较高的 PTSS 与较低的夫妻功能和韧性相关。无论是否存在 PTSS，韧性得分较高的个体报告的夫妻功能得分较高（p=0.004）。未来的研究人员应关注韧性与夫妻功能的关系，以及在军事夫妻中增强韧性的方法。
