摘要：
We used regression models to assess the impact of warzone stress on physical and mental health of 975 female Vietnam veteran nurses, and whether current PTSD symptoms mediated these relations. Women's Vietnam Memorial Project members were surveyed in 1998, with analyses adjusted for age, length of military service, and current health symptoms. Findings suggest that among women nurses deployed to Vietnam, the effects of warzone stress many years earlier on current health are both direct and indirect, mediated by PTSD symptoms. The legacy of wartime deployment remains, although muted in its expression, in military nurses nearly 30 years after their return.
