Abstract

The present study sought to investigate whether gender moderates the relationship between military sexual trauma (MST) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment utilization, among veterans with clinically significant PTSD symptoms. Participants were 2,664 veterans with probable PTSD from a nationwide, population-based survey. Participants reported sociodemographic information, history of MST (including military sexual harassment and military sexual assault), and lifetime receipt of PTSD psychotherapy and medication treatment. We found that gender significantly moderated relationships between (a) military sexual harassment and PTSD psychotherapy, (b) military sexual assault and PTSD psychotherapy, and (c) military sexual harassment and PTSD medication. For women, MST was associated with a greater likelihood of receiving treatment, but for men, MST was not associated with PTSD treatment. Future research is needed to better understand gender differences in how experiences of MST may affect engagement in PTSD treatment. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

性别是军队性创伤与创伤后应激障碍治疗利用率之间关系的调节因素。

本研究旨在调查在临床上有明显创伤后应激障碍症状的退伍军人中，性别是否会调节军事性创伤（MST）与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）治疗利用率之间的关系。参与调查的 2,664 名退伍军人可能患有创伤后应激障碍，这些退伍军人来自全国范围的人口调查。受试者报告了社会人口学信息、MST（包括军队性骚扰和军队性侵犯）史，以及终生接受创伤后应激障碍心理治疗和药物治疗的情况。我们发现，性别在很大程度上调节了（a）军队性骚扰与创伤后应激障碍心理治疗、（b）军队性侵犯与创伤后应激障碍心理治疗以及（c）军队性骚扰与创伤后应激障碍药物治疗之间的关系。对女性而言，军事性骚扰与接受治疗的可能性增加有关，但对男性而言，军事性骚扰与创伤后应激障碍治疗无关。未来的研究需要更好地了解性别差异对创伤后应激障碍治疗的影响。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
