“…Since this study had only 8 participants, analysis in distinguishable features among the reported experiences was limited. Lastly, because the focus of this research was not in quantifying the intensity of the adverse event or PTG but the exploration of the personal experience itself, our study did not use quantitative measurement tools (Nguyen et al, 2014 ; Nivala & Sarvimäki, 2015 ). Although exploring unique experiences by utilizing a qualitative research method served as an advantage, we did not use quantitative measurements using a validated scale to objectify their experience.…”

Because military special forces carry out dangerous missions, they are much more exposed to adversities and traumatic events compared to other occupational groups. According to Posttraumatic Growth theory, individuals tend to obtain positive growth through adversities. Moreover, a framework of Psychosocial Gains from Adversity argues not only individual changes but also social changes in the group to which the individual belongs are induced. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the adverse experiences of special forces operatives and delineate the positive shift at an individual and social level via Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR). Eight individuals serving in special forces at the Korean Army, Navy and Air Force were interviewed using a semi-structured protocol. Four domains including 10 categories and 34 subcategories were identified: (a) Adverse experiences; (b) Personal change; (c) Social change; and (d) Attributes related to adverse experience. The findings and clinical implications are discussed in light of growth over facing adversities and interaction between personal and social factors.

Objective War participation risks mental disorders. Ukrainian combatants in Anti-Terrorist Operation/Joint Forces Operation since 2014 receive psychiatric care. Some show unique symptoms, not fitting recognized disorders, termed post-combat delayed response (tension) syndrome. The aim of this study was to establish diagnostic criteria and develop a scale of differential diagnosis of post-combat delayed response (tension) syndrome. Methods This was a clinical retrospective study conducted on the basis of Zaporizhzhia Military Hospital and Zaporizhzhia and State Medical University, Ukraine, in the period from 2015 to 2021. Combatants of Ukraine—members of Anti-Terrorist Operation/Joint Forces Operation were involved in the study. In total, 426 male combatants were surveyed from whom those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (n = 24), neurasthenia (n = 35), and post-combat delayed response (tension) syndrome (n = 46) were selected. Results The key symptoms of post-combat delayed response (tension) syndrome were selected and ranked in order of their differential diagnostic value. The diagnostic scale for post-combat delayed response (tension) syndrome was developed, which consists of 12 points. Conclusions The received anamnestic information is important for classifying patients at risk of post-combat delayed response (tension) syndrome.

The lifelong struggle of Finnish World War II veterans

Abstract: The war overshadowed the whole lifespan of the veterans, but in old age they finally felt free. Since war experiences vary depending on historical context, a formal theory would require additional research.
