ABSTRACT

Rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol misuse are known to be high among postdeployment Veterans. Previous research has found that personality factors may be relevant predictors of postdeployment drinking, yet results have been inconsistent and may be influenced by the selection of drinking outcome. This study aimed to examine relations among PTSD, negative urgency, and the five factor models of personality with multiple alcohol consumption patterns, including maximum drinks in a day, number of binge drinking episodes, at-risk drinking, and average weekly drinks in a sample of 397 Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn Veterans. The pattern of results suggested that the association among personality, PTSD, and drinking may depend on which drinking outcome is selected. For example, maximum drinks in a day was significantly associated with younger age, male gender, low agreeableness, and an interaction between negative urgency and PTSD, whereas number of binge drinking days was significantly associated with younger age, extraversion, low agreeableness, and negative urgency. This study highlights the heterogeneity of drinking patterns among Veterans and the need for careful consideration and transparency of outcomes selection in alcohol research.

部署后退伍军人的饮酒模式:个性、消极紧迫感和创伤后压力的作用

摘要

众所周知,在部署后的退伍军人中,创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 和酒精滥用的比率很高。先前的研究发现,性格因素可能是部署后饮酒的相关预测因素,但结果并不一致,可能会受到饮酒结果选择的影响。本研究旨在检验 PTSD、负面紧迫感和具有多种酒精消费模式的人格的五个因素模型之间的关系,包括一天中的最大饮酒量、狂饮次数、有风险的饮酒量和样本中的平均每周饮酒量397 持久自由行动/伊拉克自由行动/新黎明行动退伍军人。结果模式表明,性格、PTSD 和饮酒之间的关联可能取决于所选择的饮酒结果。例如,一天中的最大饮酒量与年轻、男性、低宜人性以及负紧迫感和 PTSD 之间的相互作用显着相关,而狂饮天数与年轻、外向性、低宜人性和负紧迫感显着相关。这项研究强调了退伍军人饮酒模式的异质性,以及在酒精研究中仔细考虑和透明化结果选择的必要性。
