Post-traumatic distress after military combat is a major cost of war. One under-investigated factor potentially associated with PTSD symptoms is specific beliefs about one's military service. This study examined post-deployment self-reports from 272 active-duty U.S. Army soldiers, to investigate potential associations between military-related PTSD symptom severity and three beliefs about the military: the importance and value ascribed to one's own work in the Army, to current military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to military service in general. Higher scores on these three beliefs were negatively correlated with military-related PTSD symptom severity. However, in a combined regression model that controlled for recent combat exposure, only the belief about current military operations had a significant, unique association with PTSD symptom severity. That is, more positive beliefs about the value of operations in Iraq or Afghanistan were associated with lower PTSD symptoms.
军事战斗后的创伤后应激障碍是战争的一项主要代价。一个尚未得到充分研究的、可能与创伤后应激障碍症状相关的因素是对自己军事服役经历的特定信念。本研究调查了272名美国现役陆军士兵部署后的自我报告，以探究与军事相关的创伤后应激障碍症状严重程度和三种关于军队的信念之间的潜在关联：赋予自己在军队工作的重要性和价值、赋予当前在伊拉克和阿富汗军事行动的重要性和价值，以及赋予总体军事服役经历的重要性和价值。这三种信念得分越高，与军事相关的创伤后应激障碍症状严重程度呈负相关。然而，在一个控制了近期战斗暴露情况的综合回归模型中，只有对当前军事行动的信念与创伤后应激障碍症状严重程度有显著的、独特的关联。也就是说，对伊拉克或阿富汗军事行动价值的更积极信念与较低的创伤后应激障碍症状相关。
