本研究探讨创伤后应激障碍（PSS）作为军事性创伤和部署后身体健康之间的关联的调解人。在第一次海湾战争（1990-1991年）约10年后部署的83名女性退伍军人的样本的关系进行了检查。参加者报告了部署期间性骚扰和性攻击的频率。使用参与者对7个身体系统内的部署前和部署后症状的自我报告来测量身体健康。未发现性骚扰暴露与PSS介导的身体健康症状相关。然而，部署期间的性侵犯被发现与PSS和4的7个健康症状群评估：胃肠道，泌尿生殖系统，肌肉骨骼和神经系统症状。此外，PSS被发现是一个显着的调解人的性侵犯，身体健康的关系，在这些领域中的每一个，与间接路径占74%至100%的关系。目前的研究结果表明，性侵犯与身体健康有着有害的联系，PSS在这种关系中起着主要作用。
This study examined posttraumatic stress symptomatology (PSS) as a mediator of the association between military sexual trauma and post-deployment physical health. Relationships were examined in a sample of 83 female veterans of the first Gulf War (1990–1991) approximately 10 years post-deployment. Participants reported on the frequency of sexual harassment and sexual assault experienced during deployment. Physical health was measured using participants' self-reports of pre-deployment and post-deployment symptoms within 7 body systems. Sexual harassment exposure was not found to be associated with PSS-mediated associations with physical health symptoms. However, sexual assault during deployment was found to be associated with PSS and 4 of the 7 health symptom clusters assessed: gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and neurological symptoms. Furthermore, PSS was found to be a significant mediator of the sexual assault–physical health relationship in each of these domains, with the indirect path accounting for 74% to 100% of the relationship. The findings from the current study indicate that sexual assault has detrimental associations with physical health and that PSS plays a primary role in that relationship.
