The aim of the survey was to establish whether PTSD is present among Polish soldiers returning from a one-year deployment to Iraq and an analysis of its individual symptoms.
Sixty soldiers were examined, including 30 who returned from the Iraqi mission and 30 who remained in Poland. Five analysing devices were used: (IPSA), (STAI), (BDI), a PTSD questionnaire and a socio-demographical form.
A significant number of soldiers experienced a traumatic event during the mission in Iraq. Although the Iraq deployment did not change the level of depression and anxiety among the two groups of soldiers, disproportions were found in the range of anger level intensity, which was significantly higher among soldiers who returned from Iraq.
Stabilisation mission and the experience of a traumatic event influenced the biological and psychological functioning patterns among soldiers who returned from Iraq. The manifestations of this were emotional and physiological reactions that the soldiers experienced (nightmares, excessive sweating, increased heartbeat rate, stressful reactions in situations similar to the traumatic occurrence and intensified responses to them). However, contrary to the assumptions, it was not concluded that soldiers who returned from Iraq are suffering from PTSD.
本次调查旨在确定从为期一年的伊拉克部署任务归来的波兰士兵中是否存在创伤后应激障碍(PTSD),并对其个体症状进行分析。
对60名士兵进行了检查,其中30名从伊拉克任务归来,30名留在波兰。使用了五种分析工具:(IPSA)、(STAI)、(BDI)、一份PTSD问卷和一份社会人口统计学表格。
相当数量的士兵在伊拉克执行任务期间经历了创伤性事件。尽管伊拉克部署任务并未改变两组士兵的抑郁和焦虑水平,但在愤怒程度范围内发现了差异,从伊拉克归来的士兵中愤怒程度明显更高。
维稳任务和创伤性事件的经历影响了从伊拉克归来的士兵的生物和心理功能模式。其表现为士兵们经历的情绪和生理反应(噩梦、多汗、心跳加快、在类似于创伤事件的情况下产生应激反应以及对这些反应的强化)。然而,与假设相反,并未得出从伊拉克归来的士兵患有创伤后应激障碍的结论。
