本研究探讨了在男性占主导地位的环境中，女性的舒适感在创伤后应激障碍治疗中的作用。从1998年7月到2000年6月，连续进入退伍军人事务部（VA）女性压力障碍治疗小组的患者（N = 224）被纳入了一项结果研究。女性报告说，她们来退伍军人事务部接受心理健康护理有点舒服。对于之前没有退伍军人事务部经历的女性来说，随着她们接触治疗项目，她们的舒适感增加了。此外，对于这组女性来说，舒适程度与她们在治疗中工作的承诺以及随时间推移她们参加治疗的规律性显著相关。与退伍军人事务部有过接触的女性在舒适度方面没有显著变化。舒适度与满意度无关，与临床结果的关系微乎其微。因此，妇女的舒适程度的主要作用似乎是作为她们参与治疗过程的促进者。
This study examines the role of women's comfort in coming for treatment of posttraurnatic stress disorder in a predominantly male environment. Consecutive admissions (N = 224) to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)'s Women's Stress Disorder Treatment Teams were enrolled in an outcome study from July 1998 through June 2000. Women reported that they were somewhat comfortable in coming to the VA for their mental health care. For women who had no prior experience with the VA, comfort increased with their exposure to the treatment program. Further, for this group of women, comfort level was related significantly to their commitment to working in therapy and the regularity of their attendance in treatment over time. There were no significant changes in comfort level for women who had prior contact with the VA. Comfort level was unrelated to satisfaction and only minimally related to clinical outcomes. The primary role of women's comfort level, therefore, appeared to be as a facilitator of their participation in the therapeutic process.
