- 소개/요약The prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the role faith and spirituality play in mitigating some of the more devastating effects of PTSD are explored. Terror Management Theory is used as a theoretical framework to understand the military service experience of those individuals who have been deployed to the theater of war. Service members do not serve in a vacuum; when they return home their wartime experiences impact the family and community. Hence, an understanding of the effects of PTSD on service members and their loved ones is essential. Spirituality, the way in which people connect with their belief and faith, the belief that there is something “bigger than us,” will be explored as a protective factor for service members and their families. The article also explores how combat can cause individuals to question their faith and spirituality and the effect this questioning can have on overall mental health.
