最近强调了对亚裔美国人（AAs）等单一群体进行创伤研究的必要性，以更好地了解创伤经历并为跨人群的干预提供信息。鉴于AA的文化背景下，创伤后认知和躯体化可能是理解这一群体的创伤经历的关键。AA和白色美国（WA）的创伤暴露的大学女生完成了一项调查的性创伤史，创伤后认知，躯体症状和创伤后应激障碍的严重程度。对于整个样本，较高的负性认知与较高的躯体化。亚裔与较高的负性认知相关，这预示着较高的PTSD。出乎意料的是，WA比AA更强烈地支持躯体化。这些研究结果表明，创伤后认知可能有助于了解亚洲背景的躯体化和PTSD严重程度之间的关系，躯体化和PTSD症状之间的关系是文化上复杂的。
The need for trauma research with monoracial groups such as Asian Americans (AAs) has recently been emphasized to better understand trauma experiences and inform interventions across populations. Given AA cultural contexts, posttraumatic cognitions and somatization may be key in understanding trauma experiences for this group. AA and White American (WA) trauma-exposed college women completed a survey on sexual trauma history, posttraumatic cognitions, somatic symptoms, and PTSD severity. For the overall sample, higher negative cognitions were associated with higher somatization. Asian race was associated with higher negative cognitions, which then predicted higher PTSD. Unexpectedly, WAs more strongly endorsed somatization than AAs. These findings indicate that posttraumatic cognitions may be helpful in understanding relationships between somatization and PTSD severity among those of Asian backgrounds and that the relationship between somatization and PTSD symptoms is culturally complex.
