创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 与 PTSD 患者的伴侣的多种关系问题和心理困扰有关。本研究旨在制定一种衡量伴侣对 PTSD 适应性的自我报告衡量标准（即伴侣针对患者 PTSD 症状而改变行为的方式），即重要他人对创伤的反应量表 (SORTS)，并在 46 对寻求治疗的夫妇中调查其可靠性和构建有效性。该排序表现出很强的内部一致性以及与个人和关系困扰的关联。住宿与伴侣对患者 PTSD 症状、患者自我报告的抑郁和特质愤怒严重程度以及伴侣自我报告的抑郁和状态愤怒严重程度的评分呈正相关。住宿与患者和伴侣关系满意度以及伴侣从患者那里获得的社会支持呈负相关。研究结果表明，住宿可能是为了适应与患有创伤后应激障碍的伴侣一起生活的一种尝试，但可能会对患者和伴侣的福祉产生负面影响。 (c) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with myriad relationship problems and psychological distress in partners of individuals with PTSD. This study sought to develop a self-report measure of partner accommodation to PTSD (i.e., ways in which partners alter their behavior in response to patient PTSD symptoms), the Significant Others' Responses to Trauma Scale (SORTS), and to investigate its reliability and construct validity in 46 treatment-seeking couples. The SORTS demonstrated strong internal consistency and associations with individual and relationship distress. Accommodation was positively correlated with partners' ratings of patients' PTSD symptoms, patient self-reported depressive and trait anger severity, and partner self-reported depressive and state anger severity. Accommodation was negatively correlated with patient and partner relationship satisfaction and partners' perceived social support received from patients. Findings suggest that accommodation may be an attempt to adapt to living with a partner with PTSD but may have negative implications for patient and partner well-being. (c) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
