In order to determine whether the MMPI-PTSD subscale has application for assessing DSM-III diagnosed PTSD among populations other than Vietnam veterans, a group of WWII POWs (N = 69) were given the subscale. Results indicated that the use of the PTSD subscale can be generalized to older veterans; in a small sample of Pacific POWs, PTSD is more common among those from the Pacific theater than those from Europe. However, the subscale fails to distinguish between Pacific and European POW veterans. Difficulties in sampling and confounding stressors are discussed, as well as implications for treatment of WWII veterans.
为了确定明尼苏达多项人格调查表(MMPI)创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)分量表是否适用于评估越战退伍军人以外人群中符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版(DSM-III)诊断标准的PTSD,一组二战战俘(N = 69)接受了该分量表测试。结果表明,PTSD分量表的应用可以推广到年长的退伍军人;在一小批太平洋地区战俘样本中,来自太平洋战区的人比来自欧洲的人患PTSD更为常见。然而,该分量表无法区分太平洋地区和欧洲地区的战俘退伍军人。文中讨论了抽样困难和混杂应激源,以及对二战退伍军人治疗的影响。
