The long-term psychological effects of war-related stress were assessed 3 years after the Persian Gulf War with the Mississippi Scale for Desert Storm War Zone Personnel (M-PTSD-DS), developed from the Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related PTSD (M-PTSD: Keane, Caddell, Taylor, 1988). The M-PTSD-DS scores of 30 Marine reservists were compared with the number of DSM-III-R PTSD criteria each met at two points in time, initially at 3 months after the Gulf War and again 3 years later. Findings support the construct validity (sensitivity) of this scale in the immediate and longitudinal measurement of relatively nonpathological degrees of war-related stress in reservists not involved in direct fighting. Initial level of PTSD symptomatology upon returning from a war zone was predictive of M-PTSD-DS scores 3 years later. This scale was effective in detecting varying degrees of war-related stress in this self-selected group of reservists and warrants further study.
在海湾战争结束3年后,使用从《与战斗相关的创伤后应激障碍密西西比量表》(M-PTSD:基恩、卡德尔、泰勒,1988年)衍生而来的《沙漠风暴战区人员密西西比量表》(M-PTSD-DS),对与战争相关压力的长期心理影响进行了评估。将30名海军陆战队预备役军人的M-PTSD-DS得分,与他们在两个时间点各自符合的DSM-III-R创伤后应激障碍标准数量进行比较,最初是在海湾战争结束3个月后,3年后再次进行比较。研究结果支持了该量表在即时和纵向测量未参与直接战斗的预备役军人中相对非病理性程度的与战争相关压力方面的结构效度(敏感性)。从战区返回时的创伤后应激障碍症状初始水平,可预测3年后的M-PTSD-DS得分。该量表在检测这一自我选择的预备役军人群体中不同程度的与战争相关压力方面是有效的,值得进一步研究。
