The present study examined the incidence of war-related psychological distress among Persian Gulf War veterans. A total of 591 Army, Navy, and Marine reservists were administered the Mississippi PTSD Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the SCL-90R. Combat-deployed reservists showed significantly higher levels of psychological symptomatology that non-deployed reservists, generally corresponding to levels of stress exposure. No significant effects were found for race or prior combat exposure, but significant differences were found between combat-deployed male and female reservists. Despite the brevity and the outcome of the Persian Gulf War, significant symptomatology exists among this population.
本研究调查了海湾战争退伍军人中与战争相关的心理困扰发生率。总共591名陆军、海军和海军陆战队后备役军人接受了密西西比创伤后应激障碍量表、贝克抑郁量表和症状自评量表90（SCL - 90R）的测试。与未参战的后备役军人相比，参战的后备役军人表现出明显更高水平的心理症状，这通常与压力暴露程度相对应。未发现种族或先前参战经历有显著影响，但参战的男性和女性后备役军人之间存在显著差异。尽管海湾战争时间短暂且有相应结果，但这一群体中仍存在明显的症状。
