This study examined the effect of combat stress on somatic health in a sample of 804 Israeli soldiers. Three groups of subjects were assessed: combatants who did not participate in the Lebanon War, combatants who fought and suffered from combat stress reactions, and combatants who participated in the Lebanon War but did not sustain psychiatric injury. One year following the war subjects were asked to report somatic complaints and were screened for post-traumatic stress disorder. Results indicated that participation in combat per se did not have pathogenic effects. However, combat stress reactions and post-traumatic stress disorder were found to be associated with somatic complaints. The practical and theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
本研究调查了804名以色列士兵样本中战斗压力对身体健康的影响。评估了三组受试者：未参加黎巴嫩战争的战斗人员、经历战斗并出现战斗应激反应的战斗人员，以及参加了黎巴嫩战争但未遭受精神创伤的战斗人员。战后一年，要求受试者报告身体不适症状，并对创伤后应激障碍进行筛查。结果表明，参与战斗本身并没有致病作用。然而，发现战斗应激反应和创伤后应激障碍与身体不适症状有关。讨论了这些发现的实际和理论意义。
