Primary objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between resilience and symptom reporting following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). It was hypothesized that, as resilience increases, self-reported symptoms would decrease. Research design: Cross-sectional design.
Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to post-concussional disorders and posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) among military Service members. The study examined whether resilience may serve as a protective factor.
This research examined whether military Service members’ deployment-related trauma exposure, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and experiential avoidance are associated with their observed levels of positive social engagement, social withdrawal, reactivity-coercion, and distress avoi
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can have an impact on an individual's close relationships.
Military families respond and adjust differently to reintegration stressors with some families coping well with these changes while other families do not.
Families experience stress during the deployment cycle, including the reintegration stage.
This study examines the association between veterans’ physical and mental health symptoms and perceptions of adverse child and relationship functioning.
Veterans' family relationships may be impacted by deployment and its effects on Veteran mental and physical health.
Although a subset of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans show aggression toward others after they return home from military service, little is known about protective mechanisms that could be bolstered to prevent violence.
Many OIF/OEF Veterans report problematic aggression and violence; however, little research has examined risk or protective factors of Veteran violence.
