Military Environmental Exposure Concerns, PTSD, and Somatic Symptoms: Their Interrelation Among Treatment-Seeking Veterans.
OBJECTIVE
Research suggests military environmental exposure concerns are associated with negative health outcomes. This study investigated the relationship among exposure concerns, PTSD, and somatic symptoms to enhance post-deployment health care programs for veterans.
METHODS
We analyzed intake health data from a heterogeneous sample of predominantly Operation Desert Storm/Shield and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) veterans (N = 247).
RESULTS
Individual exposure concerns and somatic symptoms were each associated with higher PTSD symptom severity. Regression modelling demonstrated total exposure concerns and PTSD symptom severity linked with total somatic symptom severity. Mediation modelling revealed PTSD symptom severity to partially explain the relation between exposure concerns and somatic symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings illustrate the need for integrative treatment approaches incorporating physiological and exposure-related concerns associated with PTSD among veterans.
