| Popis: | This study assesses potentially traumatic combat and medical provider experiences and subsequent utilization of behavioral health (BH) services among 324 U.S. Army medics 3 months after military deployment. After statistically controlling for socially desirable responding, neither combat nor medical provider experiences directly predicted utilization of BH services; however, both predicted posttraumatic stress symptoms, which predicted BH utilization. Moderation analyses revealed that medics were less likely to utilize BH services after intense battle experiences if they reported a low hardy personality, low unit support, or insufficient sleep. Possible interventions are discussed to promote BH care utilization. |
