“…Notably, PTSD prevalence stands at 18.1% among veterans of the Iran-Iraq war, with 36,354 diagnosed cases, including 1,112 individuals considered at risk for mental health disorders as per data from the Martyrs and Veterans Foundation [4]. The duration of this disorder varies among individuals, and its symptoms and complications may manifest years after the initial trauma [5]. Persistent PTSD affects approximately 40% of afflicted individuals and more than a third continue to exhibit symptoms a decade following the traumatic incident [6].…”

The present study aims to determine the effect of the developed parallel process model on the resilience of spouses of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) veterans. This quasi-experimental investigation comprised 30 spouses of veterans diagnosed with PTSD, segregated into two distinct groups during the year 2023: an intervention group, consisting of 15 individuals, and a control group of equal size. To gather data for this study, a demographic questionnaire capturing information on age, veteran percentage, education level, and occupation, alongside the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), was utilized. Preceding the intervention, the intervention group exhibited a mean resilience score of 45.06 (SD=3.82), which increased to 61.13 (SD=4.92) after the intervention, indicating a statistically significant difference as determined by the paired t-test (P<0.01). Conversely, in the control group, the resilience rate was 46.53 (SD=5.71) before the intervention and 47.00 (SD=6.20) after the intervention; however, the paired t-test did not reveal a significant difference (P=0.7). In sum, the implementation of educational methodologies grounded in theoretical frameworks and cognitive models emerges as a pivotal factor in augmenting the adaptation and resilience levels of spouses of veterans grappling with PTSD.

“…Notably, a substantial proportion of returning military personnel manifest symptoms indicative of this disorder [4]. The repercussions of PTSD, stemming from war-related incidents, extend beyond the affected individuals and exert adverse effects on the lives of their family members [5]. Remarkably, the psychological ramifications of war-related trauma may persist, manifesting complications more than three decades post-conflict [6].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between secondary traumatic stress and academic self-concept in children of veterans. This cross-sectional study, conducted in 2017 within Mazandaran province, Iran, focused on 150 children of veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. The instruments utilized for data collection in this investigation encompass demographic variables (such as gender, age, children's education level, father's education, mother's education, father's occupation, mother's occupation, and father's veteran percentage), the secondary traumatic stress scale, and the academic self-concept questionnaire. The mean scores for secondary traumatic stress and academic self-concept among children of veterans were 43.97 (SD=13.8) and 40.52 (SD=17.09), respectively. Furthermore, a statistically significant correlation was observed between secondary traumatic stress and academic self-concept, indicating that an increase in secondary traumatic stress was associated with a decrease in academic self-concept (P<0.01). The findings of this study underscore a discernible correlation between secondary traumatic stress and the academic self-concept observed in the children of veterans. Notably, academic success emerges as a significant factor contributing to the enhancement of self-concept among this demographic.

“…It reflects the level of individual satisfaction by relationships after marriage and satisfaction with it [21]. This feeling can be damaged because of various conditions such as physical and mental illnesses, social life stresses, and even the birth of a child with deficiency and disability, resulting in PTSD [22,23].…”

Background: Childbirth is among the most significant and pleasant events in a woman’s life. This event can be a traumatic event and a threat to the mother’s mental health. This study recognizes the relationship between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after childbirth and social support and marital satisfaction. Methods: This Cross-sectional analytical study was performed on a sample of 400 mothers who had delivered at Shohadaye-15-Khordad Hospital in Varamin (in two groups with & without PTSD). The research instruments include the Demographic, Midwifery, Neonatal Factors checklist, Enrich Marital Satisfaction, Weinfeld and Tigman Social Support, and the PTSD Symptoms Scale. We used SPSS to analyze the descriptive and Pearson correlation and logistic regression data. A P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence of PTDS in this study was equal to 16.8%. There was no significant correlation between the mean of the total score of PTSD in all dimensions with social support (P>0.05). Marital satisfaction significantly affected the probability of PTSD after childbirth (P=0.001). There was a significant correlation between PTSD total score and dimension of avoidance symptoms and infant gender (P=0.038). There was also a significant correlation between gestational age and avoidance symptoms (P=0.001) and type of nutrition feeding and motivational symptoms (P=0.041) of PTSD dimensions. Conclusion: According to the relationship between marital satisfaction and PTSD, it is recommended to design suitable interventions to improve the marital status and promptly diagnose the susceptible mothers to prevent the spread of this complication.
