The aim of this study was to describe the lived experiences of wives of Iranian veterans with PTSD concerning their social relationships.
A qualitative design with a qualitative content analysis approach was used for data collection and analysis of wives' experiences. Fourteen wives of war veterans with PTSD participated in this study.
Qualitative data were collected using in-depth semistructured interviews.
Two themes emerged from the analysis: (1) Dynamic interaction between the limited social world and the spiritual world, and (2) Seeking a sensitive and assistive atmosphere. Disruption of social activities, necessity of the public's realistic perception of families' problems, and the need for additional social support were among the most emphasized points made by participants.
Findings of the study can provide some direction for priority setting of problems and designing interventions to improve social lives of wives of Iranian patients diagnosed with PTSD. Further, the findings provide a base for comparing similar possible studies conducted in other societies with the Iranian society.
本研究旨在描述患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的伊朗退伍军人的妻子在社会关系方面的生活经历。
采用定性设计和定性内容分析方法来收集和分析妻子们的经历数据。14名患有创伤后应激障碍的退伍军人的妻子参与了本研究。
通过深入的半结构化访谈收集定性数据。
分析得出两个主题：（1）有限的社会世界与精神世界之间的动态互动，以及（2）寻求敏感且具有帮助性的氛围。社交活动的中断、公众对家庭问题现实认知的必要性以及对额外社会支持的需求是参与者最强调的要点。
该研究结果可为确定问题优先级以及设计干预措施以改善被诊断患有创伤后应激障碍的伊朗患者妻子的社会生活提供一些指导。此外，研究结果为将在其他社会开展的类似研究与伊朗社会进行比较提供了基础。
