Numerous studies on the health and functioning of veterans and former prisoners of war have shown that the experience of war captivity is one of the most difficult human experiences. Captivity is often characterized by extremely difficult and inhumane conditions, as well as exposure to various forms of both psychological and physical abuse. Such traumatic experiences can lead to serious psychological consequences that can last for years, even decades after release from captivity. The aim of this paper is to present a brief overview of research that points to the specifics of wartime captivity and the long-term psychological consequences in veterans of former camp detainees, as well as the consequences suffered by their families and factors that, apart from the intensity of the trauma, contribute to the emergence and persistence of psychological disorders. From the presented research, it can be concluded that former prisoners of the camp represent an extremely vulnerable group of the social community and require long-term appropriate treatment, while the needs of veterans' families should not be neglected, with the necessity of including spouses and children in psychological and psychosocial treatments.
众多关于退伍军人和前战俘健康与机能的研究表明，战争囚禁经历是人类最艰难的经历之一。囚禁的特点往往是条件极其恶劣且不人道，同时还会遭受各种形式的心理和身体虐待。此类创伤性经历会导致严重的心理后果，这些后果可能会持续数年，甚至在获释后的数十年里依然存在。本文旨在简要概述相关研究，这些研究指出了战时囚禁的具体情况以及前集中营被拘留者退伍军人的长期心理后果，还有他们家人所遭受的后果，以及除创伤强度外，导致心理障碍出现和持续的因素。从所呈现的研究中可以得出结论，前集中营囚犯是社会中极为脆弱的群体，需要长期的适当治疗，而退伍军人家庭的需求也不应被忽视，有必要让配偶和子女参与心理及心理社会治疗。
