本研究旨在探讨女性焦虑敏感性与创伤后应激障碍的关系。该研究涉及三组:无严重创伤史的女性(n = 30),曾遭受亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)但从未患上PTSD的女性(n = 23),以及IPV暴露和当前PTSD的女性(n = 19)。作为更大研究的一部分,他们完成了AS,PTSD和抑郁症的测量。患有PTSD的女性报告的AS水平最高,尽管患有PTSD的创伤女性比没有创伤史的女性报告的AS更多。AS相关的心理问题是一个统计预测PTSD症状时,整个样本的妇女被认为是,但不是在子集与创伤史。尽管如此,AS可能是治疗PTSD患者的一个重要因素。(C)2002 Wiley-Liss,Inc.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between anxiety sensitivity (AS) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in women. The study involved three groups: women with no history of exposure to serious trauma (n = 30), women who bad been exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) but never developed PTSD (n = 23), and women with IPV exposure and current PTSD (n = 19). As a part of a larger study, they completed measures of AS, PTSD symptomatology, and depression. Women with PTSD reported the highest levels of AS, although traumatized women with PTSD reported more AS than did women with no trauma history. AS-related psychological concerns were a statistical predictor of PTSD symptoms when the entire sample of women was considered but not among the subset with a trauma history. Nonetheless, AS may be an important factor to consider in treatment of individuals with PTSD. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
