本研究探讨创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和人际功能之间的关联在新西兰的土地社区样本的756越南战争退伍军人。结果支持以前的研究结果，扭曲的PTSD对退伍军人的人际关系，家庭功能，婚姻/二元调整产生不利影响，并表明PTSD对家庭功能和二元调整的影响是由人际关系问题的严重程度介导的。这表明，较高水平的创伤后应激障碍影响退伍军人发起和维持人际关系的能力，这些人际关系的问题是明显的，在较差的家庭功能和较差的二元调整水平。
This study examines the association between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and interpersonal functioning in a New Zea land community sample of 756 Vietnam War veterans. The results support previous research findings skewing that PTSD adversely affects veterans' interpersonal relationships, family functioning, and marital/dyadic adjustment and show that the effects of PTSD on family functioning and dyadic adjustment are mediated by severity of interpersonal problems. It is suggested that higher levels of PTSD affect the ability of veterans to initiate and maintain interpersonal relationships and that these interpersonal problems are Evident in poorer levels of family functioning and poorer dyadic adjustment.
