要旨

Background:

U.S. military veterans frequently experience exposure to trauma and multiple co-occurring physical health and psychiatric conditions that can impair functioning. Nonetheless, some veterans maintain higher-than-expected levels of functioning despite these adversities, a pattern reflecting functional resilience. Identifying modifiable factors associated with such resilience may inform interventions to support optimal functioning in this population.

Methods:

Data were analyzed from 4069 participants in the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study, a nationally representative survey of U.S. veterans. Four domains of functioning-physical, mental, cognitive, and psychosocial-were combined via exploratory factor analysis to derive a composite functioning score. Functional resilience was operationalized using a discrepancy-based residual approach, in which the composite functioning score was regressed onto measures of trauma exposure and physical and mental health burden. Positive residuals represented better-than-expected functioning given trauma- and health-related burden. Bivariate, multivariable, and relative importance analyses were conducted to identify sociodemographic, psychosocial, and personality correlates of functional resilience.

Results:

A single latent factor accounted for 60.5 % of the variance across functioning domains. Mindfulness, grit, and perceived resilience were the strongest correlates of functional resilience, jointly explaining over 75 % of the total explained variance. Additional independent correlates included conscientiousness, physical exercise, positive expectations about aging, and community integration. Older age and being married or partnered were also associated with higher functional resilience.

Conclusions:

Modifiable psychosocial traits and health behaviors are strongly associated with functional resilience among U.S. veterans. Interventions that enhance mindfulness, grit, perceived resilience, and positive attitudes toward aging may help promote better functional outcomes in this population.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Traumatic Memory

Traumatic Memory

Emotionally traumatic events often lead to memories that are exceptionally vivid and enduring, sometimes persisting with remarkable clarity throughout an individual's life. A classic example of this phenomenon is a person who survives a car accident. Even years later, they may recall every detail of the event with startling accuracy — the screeching of the tires, the jarring impact, and the acrid smell of burning rubber. Such vividness contrasts sharply with how an individual...

Classification of Illness

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Dissociative Identity Disorder

Dissociative Identity Disorder

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), previously termed multiple personality disorder, is a complex psychological condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states. Each identity exhibits unique patterns of behavior, voice, and mannerisms and may possess separate memories and emotional responses. The alternating control between identities can result in memory gaps and challenges in recalling daily activities, often exacerbating the individual's...

Dissociative Disorders

Dissociative Disorders

Dissociative disorders represent complex psychological conditions characterized by disruptions in consciousness, memory, identity, or perception. These disruptions cause individuals to experience a disconnection from their thoughts, emotions, and memories. The phenomenon is not merely an occasional lapse in attention but a profound alteration in mental functioning that can severely impact daily life.
Dissociative Fugue
A hallmark feature of dissociative disorders is the dissociative fugue...

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.
