Sleep disturbances, posttraumatic stress disorder, and traumatic brain injury are highly prevalent in military personnel and veterans. These disorders can negatively impact military performance. Although literature evaluating how posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury directly impact military performance is limited, there is evidence supporting that these disorders negatively impact cognitive and social functioning. What is not clear is if impaired performance results from these entities individually, or a combination of each. Further research using standardized evaluations for the clinical disorders and metrics of military performance is required to assess the overall performance decrements related to these disorders.
睡眠障碍、创伤后应激障碍和创伤性脑损伤在军事人员和退伍军人中极为普遍。这些疾病会对军事表现产生负面影响。尽管评估创伤后应激障碍和创伤性脑损伤如何直接影响军事表现的文献有限,但有证据支持这些疾病会对认知和社交功能产生负面影响。尚不清楚表现受损是由这些疾病单独导致的,还是由它们共同作用导致的。需要使用针对这些临床疾病的标准化评估和军事表现指标进行进一步研究,以评估与这些疾病相关的整体表现下降情况。
