Research traditionally has focused on the development of symptoms in those who experienced war trauma directly but overlooked the impact of trauma in the partners of soldiers.
Previous experiences of trauma can greatly impact an individual's quality of life and relationships with others. Trauma in female partners of Soldiers was explored in relation to the relationship quality reported by the couple.
This study examined whether laboratory exposure to traumatic reminders potentiated the relationship between veterans’ posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and intimate partner aggression (IPA) articulations elicited during an anger-induction task.
Exploration of the relationship between Veteran posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and intimate partner aggression was conducted.
The objective of this study was to determine whether a military deployment of 6 months predicted domestic violence against the wives of deployed and nondeployed soldiers during the postdeployment period.
Deployments can have significant effects on levels of stress and family dynamics. Researchers analyzed the relationship between deployment and domestic violence in this study. Data indicated age was related to the likelihood of wives experiencing domestic violence, but deployment was not.
For this study, 13 military wives were interviewed about how they decided what to share and what not to share with their deployed husbands.
Individuals who experience the deployment of a spouse often encounter certain difficulties and develop coping strategies to deal with those difficulties.
