Abstract

Recent studies have highlighted the increased risk of exposure to PTSD among military personnel who are faced with extreme stressor events, the stress related to the peacekeeping mission, indicates that even peacekeepers could be at risk of developing PTSD independently of war attacks or wounds. The resilience’s construct has a strong theoretical background, and in a pragmatic way has been shown to be a significant stress resistance resource in multiple groups, like those involved in military and security operations. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of resilience on the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (measured through the Davidson trauma scale) and professional quality of life. Our sample included 399 (138 females, 261 males) military who carried out peacekeeping operations between 2017 and 2019. In order to test the moderation hypothesis, a hierarchical regression analysis was performed, and a three-step regression model was carried out. The results that emerged in our study reveal that the moderating effect of resilience is evident in all the effects of on the professional quality of life.

性格弹性在维和归来军人创伤后应激障碍与职业生活质量关系中的调节作用

最近的研究强调，在面临极端压力源事件的军事人员中，接触创伤后应激障碍的风险增加，与维和任务有关的压力表明，即使是维和人员也可能独立于战争袭击或创伤而有患创伤后应激症的风险。韧性的构建有着强大的理论背景，并且以一种务实的方式被证明是多个群体的重要抗压资源，比如那些参与军事和安全行动的群体。本研究的目的是检验恢复力对创伤后应激障碍（通过戴维森创伤量表测量）和职业生活质量之间关系的影响。我们的样本包括2017年至2019年间执行维和行动的399名军人（138名女性，261名男性）。为了检验适度假设，进行了层次回归分析，并建立了三步回归模型。我们的研究结果表明，韧性的调节作用在对职业生活质量的所有影响中都很明显。
