Primary outcomePrimary: Qualitative Interviews - Perspectives on Family Involvement in PTSD Treatment — 33; 20; 27; 16 participants — p=<0.05
Summary
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), prevalent among returning OEF/OIF/OND Veterans, has a powerful impact on family functioning. Good family relationships appear to moderate its impact; stressful relationships may reduce the benefits of treatment. A program that assists both Veteran and family in coping with the Veteran's PTSD could directly improve the Veteran's re-adjustment and well-being and indirectly improve his/her social and occupational functioning.
