| Popis: | Examine factors associated with recovery from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and evaluate the role of deployment mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in the relationship between PTSD recovery and functional outcomes.Post 9/11 combat veterans with lifetime history of PTSD (Analyses of variance (ANOVA) results revealed significant differences in most behavioral health outcomes based on PTSD recovery, with participants who have recovered from PTSD showing less severe neurobehavioral and depressive symptoms, better sleep quality, less functional pain interference, and higher quality of life. No differences were found in cognitive functioning between those who have recovered from PTSD and those who have not. History of deployment mTBI did not significantly moderate the relationship between PTSD recovery and most functional and cognitive outcomes with the exception of 2 measures of processing speed. Specifically, among participants with history of deployment mTBI, those who have recovered from PTSD displayed better cognitive functioning than those who have not. Additionally, participants who have not recovered from PTSD had higher levels of blast exposure during military service.PTSD recovery was associated with better psychological functioning and higher quality of life, but not with objective cognitive functioning. Deployment mTBI history moderated only the relationship between PTSD recovery status and tests of processing speed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved). |
