Secondary traumatic stress is a disorder which occurs in spouses and people with close relation to someone with posttraumatic stress disorder. Like PTSD, it seems that STS also occurs with other psychiatric problems like somatization and dissociation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between STS and somatization and dissociation symptoms.
This cross-sectional study was done in 2015 and lasted for one year. Self-report questionnaires assessing secondary traumatic stress symptoms, dissociation symptoms and somatization symptoms were distributed among spouses of veterans with PTSD in Zahedan, Iran. The relationship between STS symptoms and somatization symptoms and also between STS symptoms and dissociation symptoms were determined by Pearson correlation test. SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis.
Occurrence of secondary traumatic stress symptoms were correlated with dissociation symptoms and also with somatization symptoms.
As the rate of secondary traumatic stress rose, the rate of somatization and dissociation symptoms in spouses of veterans increased.
继发性创伤应激是一种发生在创伤后应激障碍患者的配偶及与之关系密切的人身上的疾病。与创伤后应激障碍一样,继发性创伤应激似乎也与其他精神问题如躯体化和分离有关。本研究旨在确定继发性创伤应激与躯体化及分离症状之间的关系。
这项横断面研究于2015年进行,为期一年。在伊朗扎黑丹,向创伤后应激障碍退伍军人的配偶发放了评估继发性创伤应激症状、分离症状和躯体化症状的自填式问卷。通过Pearson相关检验确定继发性创伤应激症状与躯体化症状之间以及继发性创伤应激症状与分离症状之间的关系。使用SPSS 23版进行数据分析。
继发性创伤应激症状的出现与分离症状以及躯体化症状相关。
随着继发性创伤应激发生率的上升,退伍军人配偶的躯体化和分离症状发生率增加。
