Abstract

This study explored how "inhibiting factors" associated with military-bereavement impact combatants' psychological sequelae following comrade loss. One hundred six eligible Israeli combat male-soldiers completed the Texas-Revised-Inventory of Grief, the post-traumatic-stress-disorder symptoms scale (PSS), the Male Role Norms Scale, the Social Acknowledgment Questionnaire, and a scale assessing Military Encouragement to Grieve (MEG-8). Time since loss had no impact on soldiers' levels of PSS or prolonged grief. Regression analysis indicated that higher masculinity-perception and disapproval from the family predicated higher PSS, above and beyond grief. Conversely, lower disapproval from the family, and higher disapproval from the general community, predicted higher grief, above and beyond PSS. Also, military encouragement significantly mediated the positive relationship between masculinity and sense of social-recognition. The results show how inhibiting factors contribute differently to the perpetuation of PSS and grief. This interplay sheds light on soldiers' "external" and "internal" loss processes of traumatic bereavement. The practical implications to treatment are also discussed.

战友离世后创伤后应激障碍和悲伤的预测因素分析。
本研究探讨了与军人丧亲相关的 "抑制因素 "如何影响战斗人员在失去战友后的心理后遗症。16 名符合条件的以色列男兵填写了德克萨斯州-修订版-悲伤量表、创伤后应激障碍症状量表(PSS)、男性角色规范量表、社会认可问卷以及评估军人鼓励悲伤的量表(MEG-8)。失去亲人后的时间对士兵的 PSS 水平和长期悲伤没有影响。回归分析表明,较高的大男子主义感知和来自家庭的不认同预示着较高的 PSS,超越了悲伤。相反,较低的来自家庭的不认同和较高的来自社会大众的不认同则预示着较高的 PSS 以上的悲伤程度。此外,军队的鼓励在很大程度上调节了男性气质与社会认可感之间的正相关关系。研究结果表明,抑制因素对 PSS 和悲伤的长期存在有着不同的作用。这种相互作用揭示了士兵创伤性丧亲的 "外部 "和 "内部 "损失过程。研究还讨论了治疗的实际意义。
