Abstract
Our article presents the results of the conducted study of the relationship between indicators of resilience subscales and clinical-psychopathological characteristics of patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), and comorbid pathology (PTSD + TBI), as well as an analysis of the influence of resilience indicators on the effectiveness of treatment for this contingent of patients.
329 veterans with PTSD (n = 109), with mTBI (n = 112) and with comorbid PTSD+TBI (n = 108) were examined. Methods and psychodiagnostic questionnaires were used: Hardiness Survey (S.R. Maddi, 1994, modified by D. O. Leontiev), CAPS-5, WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0, WHODAS 2.0, version 12, Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire (The Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire — 4DSQ, Scale for assessing the quality of life (according to O. Chaban), a set of psychodiagnostic methods for assessing cognitive functioning.
It was concluded that multimorbidity in the form of a combination of PTSD and TBI has a negative effect on all components of vitality in veterans, which leads to insufficient realism in the assessment of crisis and stressful situations, persistent experience of one’s own actions and surrounding events as uninteresting and joyless (affection/interest), a decrease in subjective feeling influence over one’s life and the fact that events are the result of one’s own choice and initiative (control), and a decrease in the assimilation of new experiences (risk taking).
