Title: A study of treatments for post traumatic stress disorder among military servicemen that participated in or near a combat zone, 2007
Author: Patterson, Labrandor
Decade: 2000-2009
Abstract: This study examines the factors that lead veterans with post traumatic stress disorder to choose not to establish a continuum of care at Veteran's Hospital to alleviate the psychosocial and psychological dysfunction in their lives. Sixty-five (65) respondents were selected for the study utilizing non-probability convenience sampling. The survey respondents were comprised of military veterans who participated in or near a combat zone. The survey questionnaire utilized a self assessment survey, a four point Likert scale. The findings of this study indicated that over (95%) of the (65) veterans surveyed disagree with the service quality provided at the VA Hospital. However, (63.1%) of the respondents have a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder and do not participate in any mental health services.
