Aftermath of battle experiences (ABE) may contribute to adverse mental and physical health outcomes. This study examined ABE and their effect on health functioning and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 66 OEF/OIF/OND Veterans. Bivariate correlations were conducted to investigate the contribution of ABE to PTSD and health functioning, after controlling for combat experiences. Additionally, a mediation analyses was conducted on Role Limitations due to Emotional Problems. Results suggested that the association between ABE and Role Limitations due to Emotional Problems was mediated by PTSD. These initials findings suggest the need for more research on differences in deployment experiences.
战斗经历后遗症(ABE)可能导致不良的身心健康后果。本研究调查了66名参加过伊拉克自由行动/持久自由行动/新黎明行动的退伍军人的战斗经历后遗症及其对健康功能和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的影响。在控制了战斗经历后,进行了双变量相关性分析,以研究战斗经历后遗症对创伤后应激障碍和健康功能的影响。此外,还对因情绪问题导致的角色限制进行了中介分析。结果表明,战斗经历后遗症与因情绪问题导致的角色限制之间的关联是由创伤后应激障碍介导的。这些初步研究结果表明,需要对部署经历的差异进行更多研究。
