“…This aligns with values reinforced through military acculturation (McCaslin et al, 2021). The use of 'dark humour' as an adaptive strategy to cope with stress, common in the military (59), may promote morale and protect against PTSD (60). Interventions for civilians often recommend the use of humour to manage challenging social interactions; to appear confident and put others at ease who appear nervous or unsure how to respond to their visible difference (61).…”

Injuries sustained during military conflict can significantly impact appearance. Yet, little is known about the psychosocial experiences of veterans with conflict-related appearance-altering injuries (AAI) and whether current civilian interventions are appropriate for veterans. To inform the development of acceptable and effective support for veterans with appearance–related psychosocial difficulties, this study aimed to identify factors associated with psychosocial adjustment to an altered appearance among both veterans and civilians with AAI. A cross-sectional online survey study was conducted. N = 121 veterans and N = 197 civilians who had sustained AAI took part. Multivariable regression was used to examine factors related to adjustment in the two groups. Overall, both groups reported similar experiences, with some key exceptions. Veterans reported significantly greater depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, significantly lower Body Image (BI) psychological flexibility, BI life engagement, and higher perceived appearance-related stigma. BI psychological flexibility was identified as a key predictor of appearance-related outcomes in both groups. Self-compassion predicted social anxiety and depression symptoms in both groups, but only appearance outcomes among civilians. Based on these identified associated factors, it is suggested that both groups, but particularly veterans, may benefit from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based intervention, including explicit self-compassion activities, and practical social skills training.

“…Sincere laughter, or Duchenne laughter, reduces anger, enhances social relations, and helps to distance from stress psychologically [3; 1]. The ability to build groups and work together, create a special mental state in the group and use humour helps to reduce stress, PTSD and fear, and build resilience skills to endure the hardships [5] caused by the war.…”
