Why Stress Disorder Is Common Among Military Women?
Women serving in the armed forces and posted in high conflict areas are at an increased risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), says a study.
The findings showed that active duty and national guard/reserve women with high combat exposure had at least 20 times higher likelihood of screening positive for PTSD compared with women with no combat exposure.
In addition, women exposed to combat conditions also had an increased likelihood of developing other behavioural health problems like depression and excess of alcohol consumption.
The impact of even one exposure event should not be overlooked, the researchers said.
"Our findings suggest that injuries, assaults, and combat exposures experienced by women during deployment may have an additive, negative effect on their post-deployment behavioural health," said lead author Rachel Sayko Adams, Scientist at Brandeis the University in Massachusetts, USA.
In the study, 42,397 army enlisted women who returned from Afghanistan or Iraq were assigned combat exposure scores of 0, 1, 2, or 3+, based on their self-reported experiences.
"Ongoing
force-wide
screening
for
behavioural
health
problems
should
be
coupled
with
development
and
evaluation
of
programs
to
improve
the
psychological
well-being
of
the
armed
forces,"
Adams
noted,
in
the
work
appearing
in
the
Journal
of
Traumatic
Stress.
