Veterans experience numerous psychosocial difficulties following combat including employment difficulties. This study assessed the influence of sense of coherence and vocational identity on the relationship between posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and work role functioning. Results from a sample of 131 combat Veterans found significant relationships between study variables. Sense of coherence mediated the relationship between PTSS and work role functioning. An indirect relationship between PTSS and work role functioning through vocational identity was not supported. Sense of coherence did not moderate the relationship between PTSS and vocational identity. Clinical implications, limitations, and directions for future research are addressed.

评估美国退伍军人的工作角色功能：创伤后压力、连贯感和职业认同的影响

退伍军人在战斗后会遇到许多心理社会困难，包括就业困难。本研究评估了连贯感和职业认同感对创伤后应激症状 (PTSS) 与工作角色功能之间关系的影响。来自 131 名退伍军人样本的结果发现研究变量之间存在显着关系。连贯感介导了 PTSS 与工作角色功能之间的关系。不支持 PTSS 与通过职业身份发挥作用的工作角色之间的间接关系。连贯感并没有调节 PTSS 和职业认同之间的关系。解决了未来研究的临床意义、局限性和方向。
