This study uses data from the 2005 Department of Defense Survey of Health-Related Behaviors Among Military Personnel to examine relationships between family stress and posttraumatic stress symptoms across 4 subgroups of Operation Iraqi Freedom-deployed (i.e., war in Iraq) or Operation Enduring Freedom-deployed (i.e., war in Afghanistan) active-duty military service members. Results suggest the following: (a) the greatest positive correlation of family stressors with posttraumatic stress symptoms was found within the military health care officer group, and (b) these military health care officers differed in family stressors mediating posttraumatic stress with divorce and financial problems accounting for significant and unique portions of the variance. Implications for care of service members and their families are discussed.
本研究使用了 2005 年国防部对军事人员健康相关行为的调查数据，考察了四个在伊拉克自由行动（即伊拉克战争）或持久自由行动（即阿富汗战争）中部署的现役军人小组中家庭压力与创伤后应激症状之间的关系。结果表明：（a）在军队医疗保健官员群体中，家庭压力源与创伤后应激症状之间的正相关最大；（b）这些军队医疗保健官员在家庭压力源方面存在差异，离婚和财务问题在创伤后应激症状的中介作用中占显著和独特的部分。讨论了为军人及其家属提供护理的意义。
