For decades, in a situation of armed conflict in Colombia, women have suffered polyvictimization and discrimination with severe consequences that last even during the post-war peace process. This study analyzes the impact on posttraumatic stress and recovery of war-related violence against women, discrimination, and social acknowledgment. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019-2020. Participants were 148 women with a mean age of 47.66years (range 18-83), contacted through the NGO who had experienced significant personal violence. Results show that levels of perceived discrimination and lack of social acknowledgment are mediators in the relationship between polyvictimization and posttraumatic stress symptoms. Recognition by significant others, disapproval by family and the larger social milieu affects different posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) dimensions and therefore how these women adapt to the effects of trauma. Findings provide strong evidence that the way society and family treats women after a traumatic event affects how the victim recovers from this event. Recognition as a victim and disapproval can coexist and be a burden for women if not adequately addressed. Results stress the importance of understanding and intervening in PTSD recovery through the analysis of social processes, and not only through and individual focus.
几十年来，在哥伦比亚的武装冲突局势中，妇女遭受了多重受害和歧视，其后果严重，甚至在战后和平进程中仍持续存在。本研究分析了与战争相关的暴力侵害妇女行为、歧视和社会认可对创伤后应激及恢复的影响。2019年至2020年进行了一项横断面研究。参与者为148名平均年龄47.66岁（范围18 - 83岁）的妇女，她们是通过非政府组织联系到的，曾经历过重大的个人暴力事件。结果表明，感知到的歧视程度和缺乏社会认可在多重受害与创伤后应激症状之间的关系中起中介作用。重要他人的认可、家庭和更广泛社会环境的不认可会影响创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的不同维度，进而影响这些妇女如何适应创伤的影响。研究结果提供了有力证据，表明社会和家庭在创伤事件后对待妇女的方式会影响受害者从该事件中恢复的情况。如果得不到充分解决，被认可为受害者和不被认可可能同时存在，并成为妇女的负担。结果强调了通过分析社会过程而非仅仅关注个体来理解和干预创伤后应激障碍恢复的重要性。
