采访了全国代表性的1,200名男性越南退伍军人和376名退伍军人的配偶或同居伴侣。退伍军人访谈包括确定创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）存在的问题，以及家庭和婚姻适应，养育问题和暴力的项目。配偶或伴侣（S/P）访谈评估了S/P对这些项目的看法，以及她对自己的心理健康、药物和酒精问题以及生活在家里的学龄儿童的行为问题的看法。与目前没有PTSD的男性退伍军人家庭相比，目前患有PTSD的男性退伍军人家庭在婚姻和家庭调整、育儿技巧和暴力行为方面表现出明显升高的严重和弥漫性问题。这些研究结果的临床意义进行了讨论。
Interviews were conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1,200 male Vietnam veterans and the spouses or coresident partners of 376 of these veterans. The veteran interview contained questions to determine the presence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and items tapping family and marital adjustment, parenting problems, and violence. The spouse or partner (S/P) interview assessed the S/Ps view of these items, as well as her view of her own mental health, drug, and alcohol problems and behavioral problems of school-aged children living at home. Compared with families of male veterans without current PTSD, families of male veterans with current PTSD showed markedly elevated levels of severe and diffuse problems in marital and family adjustment, in parenting skills, and in violent behavior. Clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
