Many traumatised individuals suffering from deployment related PTSD report severe problems in their relationships. Up until now, the therapeutic interventions used by the German Armed Forces have rarely targeted these problems through the integration of partners. For this reason, a Program designed specifically for couples was developed. In this prospective study equine-assisted psychotherapy was applied to soldiers and their spouses. The study population consisted of n = 36 couples, divided in n = 20 therapy group with a inpatient equine-assisted intervention and a 16-couples control group. After the intervention, numerous significant improvements occurred in the therapy group in the areas of current, somatic and communication problems, depressive symptoms and partnership quality but not in the control group. PTSD was reduced significantly on the sub-scale associated with negative thoughts. These results show that the intervention is an effective way to improve partnership quality and reduce the stressors that the partners of afflicted service members face.

受创伤夫妇的马辅助心理治疗——改善关系质量和心理症状

许多遭受部署相关 PTSD 的创伤个体报告说他们的关系存在严重问题。到目前为止,德国武装部队使用的治疗干预很少通过合作伙伴的整合来针对这些问题。为此,专门为夫妻设计的计划应运而生。在这项前瞻性研究中,马辅助心理治疗被应用于士兵及其配偶。研究人群由n  = 36 对夫妇组成,分为n = 20 治疗组与住院马辅助干预和 16 对夫妇对照组。干预后,治疗组在当前、躯体和沟通问题、抑郁症状和伙伴关系质量方面出现了许多显着改善,但对照组没有。在与消极想法相关的子量表上,PTSD 显着减少。这些结果表明,干预是提高伙伴关系质量和减少患病服务成员伙伴面临的压力的有效方法。
