The goal of this study was to evaluate the association between self-perceived social support and chronic combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study included 262 male war veterans suffering from chronic PTSD. Their diagnosis was confirmed according to DSM-IV-TR. They were given self-reported measures Trauma Symptom Inventory-A and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. No significant correlation was found between peer and family support and PTSD. The authors hypothesize this might be the result of secondary victimization, traumatization, and enduring personality changes during the course of PTSD. The items evaluating satisfaction with health care and state institutional support were correlated with most of the PTSD symptoms indicating the possible importance of improving institutional policies toward this population.
本研究的目的是评估自我感知的社会支持与慢性战斗相关创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)之间的关联。该研究纳入了262名患有慢性创伤后应激障碍的男性退伍军人。他们的诊断根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版修订版(DSM-IV-TR)得以确认。他们接受了自我报告测量工具创伤症状量表-A(Trauma Symptom Inventory-A)和领悟社会支持量表(Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support)。未发现同伴和家庭支持与创伤后应激障碍之间存在显著相关性。作者推测,这可能是创伤后应激障碍病程中二次受害、创伤以及持久人格改变的结果。评估对医疗保健和国家机构支持满意度的项目与大多数创伤后应激障碍症状相关,表明改善针对这一人群的机构政策可能具有重要意义。
