Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health concern for returning U.S. military personnel who have a higher prevalence rate of PTSD than the general population. Among the military population, reserve service members are at increased risk of developing PTSD compared with full-time active duty service members mainly due to difficulty reintegrating into civilian life. Understanding the social risk factors along with the protective effects social support has on PTSD in veterans will provide occupational health professionals the opportunity to support reserve veterans with adjustment into post-deployment life. This literature review examines PTSD in reserve veterans, with a focus on occupational factors, social factors, guideline recommendations, available resources, as well as provides suggestions for occupational health nurses caring for reserve veterans returning to the workplace.
创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)是美国退伍军人面临的一个严重心理健康问题,他们患PTSD的患病率高于普通人群。在军人中,预备役军人患PTSD的风险比全职现役军人更高,主要原因是难以重新融入平民生活。了解社会风险因素以及社会支持对退伍军人PTSD的保护作用,将为职业健康专业人员提供机会,以支持预备役退伍军人适应部署后的生活。这篇文献综述探讨了预备役退伍军人中的PTSD,重点关注职业因素、社会因素、指南建议、可用资源,并为照顾重返工作岗位的预备役退伍军人的职业健康护士提供建议。
