本研究以93名退伍军人为研究对象，采用战斗暴露量表、生活意义问卷、自我效能量表、抑郁、焦虑、抑郁量表，以及创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和抑郁症状严重程度等量表，探讨了战斗暴露、生活意义的存在和寻求、一般自我效能和社会自我效能与PTSD和抑郁症状严重程度之间的关系。压力量表-21和PTSD检查表特定压力源版本。大多数参与者是男性和高加索人。参与者在各种服务erasResultsTo确定预测PTSD和抑郁症严重程度的因素，进行单独的分层线性回归。在最终的PTSD模型中，军衔、战斗暴露和一般自我效能是显著的预测因素，军官军衔、较低的战斗暴露和较高的一般自我效能与较低的PTSD严重程度相关。战斗暴露和一般自我效能感之间的相互作用也是显着的，与自我效能调节战斗暴露和PTSD严重程度之间的关系。抑郁症，职级，存在的意义，在生活中，和一般自我效能是显着的预测模型中，与军官职级，更高的存在意义，在生活中，和一般自我效能与较低的抑郁症severity.ConclusionA注重加强自我效能可能有助于降低创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症的发病率。
ObjectiveThe current study examined the relationships among combat exposure, presence of and search for meaning in life, general and social self-efficacy, and both posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression symptom severity for a Veteran sample (N = 93).MethodParticipants completed an online survey comprising the Combat Exposure Scale, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Scale, Depression subscale of the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales-21, and PTSD Checklist-Specific Stressor version. The majority of participants were male and Caucasian. Participants served in various service erasResultsTo determine factors that predicted PTSD and depression severity, separate hierarchical linear regressions were performed. In the final PTSD model, rank, combat exposure, and general self-efficacy were significant predictors, with officer rank, lower combat exposure, and higher general self-efficacy associated with lower PTSD severity. The interaction between combat exposure and general self-efficacy was also significant, with self-efficacy moderating the relationship between combat exposure and PTSD severity. For depression, rank, presence of meaning in life, and general self-efficacy were significant predictors in the model, with officer rank, higher presence of meaning in life, and general self-efficacy associated with lower depression severity.ConclusionA focus on strengthening self-efficacy may assist with lower levels of PTSD and depression symptomatology after combat trauma.
