饮酒与创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 之间的共病已有充分记录。然而,针对急性创伤样本的纵向研究很少。本研究纵向研究了袭击后酒精使用障碍(AUD)和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的症状。女性性侵犯 (n = 69) 和身体侵犯受害者 (n = 39) 在创伤后 2 至 4 周和 3 个月进行评估。患有终生 AUD 的女性比那些没有 AUD 的女性有更高的侵入性和回避症状。有酒精问题的女性有更高的创伤后应激障碍症状。有酒精问题的参与者与没有酒精问题的参与者的症状恢复模式相同,但在 3 个月内症状仍然更严重。这些发现表明,对于有酗酒史并在创伤后尽早寻求医疗救助的女性,可能需要采取早期干预策略。
Comorbidity between alcohol use and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been well documented. However there are few longitudinal studies with acute trauma samples. The present study examined symptoms of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) and PTSD longitudinally after assault. Female sexual (n = 69) and physical assault victims (n = 39) were assessed 2 to 4 weeks and 3 months post trauma. Women who had lifetime AUD had higher intrusive and avoidance symptoms than those who did not have AUD. Women who had any alcohol problems had higher PTSD symptoms. Participants who had alcohol problems had the same pattern of symptom recovery as those who did not have alcohol problems but remained more symptomatic over the 3 months. These findings suggest hat early intervention strategies for women who have previous histories of alcohol problems and seek medical attention early post trauma may be indicated.
