“…However, contrary to these expectations, the prevalence of PTSD (Hoffman, Diamond, & Lipsitz, 2011 ) and mood and anxiety disorders in Israel falls within the same range that has been found in western countries (Levinson, Zilber, Lerner, Grinshpoon, & Levav, 2007 ).…”

“…Rates of PTSD among Israeli veterans were 10-20 % following the Yom Kippur war (Belenky, Noy, Solomon, & Del Jones, 1985 ), 10-20 % following the fi rst Lebanon war (Noy, Nardi, & Solomon, 1986 ), and in the general civilian population during the second intifada (i.e., the Palestinian uprising that began in the year 2000) between 7 and 10 % (Hoffman et al, 2011 ).…”

“…The potential impact of SGAs in PTSD grows as the population increases both in the US and internationally. [62][63][64] Stable to decreasing VA prescribing rates is notable in this context. Decreases may be because the VA is an integrated healthcare system with a highly developed electronic health record, a national formulary, widely disseminated clinical practice guidelines for PTSD, 10 and a system for integrated medical communication by the Pharmacy Benefits Management Services that spans national to local levels.…”

Post-traumatic stress disorder population growth is driving substantial increases in SGA use. Decreasing rates of the Department of Veterans Affairs prescribing may be due to integrated system-wide mechanisms (e.g., national practice guidelines), although regional variations remain prominent. These analyses provide foundational steps for identifying modifiable provider-level and organization-level determinants of SGA prescription in this growing population.

“…There was no systematic assessment of criterion A, and it is not clear whether symptom responses were cued to a specific traumatic event. Omitting assessment of this particular criterion is common in research focused on Israeli populations (Bleich et al, 2003, 2006; Gidron et al, 2004; Hobfoll et al, 2008; Hoffman et al, 2011). Hobfoll et al (2008, p. 13) justify this omission explicitly, saying: “We deemed it important to examine all participants as virtually everyone in Israel has at least vicarious exposure to terrorism.”…”

Distress Levels among Parents of Active Duty Soldiers during Wartime

2017

Objective: Military service is a highly stressful period both for the soldiers serving and for their parents. Surprisingly, parents’ experience has been mostly ignored in the research. This study’s goal is to shed light on the experience and distress levels of parents of active duty combat soldiers during Operation Protective Edge, a military operation carried out by the Israel Defense Forces during July and August of 2014.Methods: During the advanced stages of the operation, 69 parents of Israeli male combat soldiers (55 mothers and 14 fathers) completed an online survey measuring symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD-Checklist-5) and distress (Brief Symptom Inventory-18). Participants were recruited using a convenience sample, by posting ads on the public Facebook pages of the researchers and of the groups dedicated to parents of Israeli soldiers.Results: Parents’ depression and anxiety symptom levels were higher than depression and anxiety symptom levels of the adult community norms in Israel. General distress rates of parents were similar to those presented by adults in southern Israel who were exposed for 7 years to the ongoing threat of daily rocket fire from Gaza, and higher than rates of a non-threatened Israeli population. Finally, 20.2% of the parents presented PTSD-like symptoms, a higher percentage than the probable PTSD diagnosis rates that were found in the general population in Israel during previous terror waves.Conclusion: This study provides preliminary evidence of soldiers’ parents’ distress and indicates the need for a better understanding of the impact of military service on soldiers’ parents.
