Research with probability samples of civilians has found that marital distress is associated with incidence of several psychiatric disorders. However, there is little longitudinal research on marital distress and incidence of psychiatric disorders in military personnel. This study examined the prospective association between marital distress and incidence of major depressive episode (MDE), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use disorder in a probability sample of active-duty soldiers from the U.S. Army (N = 934). Results indicated that among individuals who did not meet diagnostic criteria for the associated disorder at baseline, marital distress at baseline was associated with 30-day incidence of MDE, GAD, and PTSD assessed 5 years later. These results support continued research on the role of marital distress and the onset and course of psychopathology in active-duty military personnel and suggest that couple-based interventions designed to prevent or reduce marital distress may be effective in the prevention and treatment of psychopathology in military personnel.

爱情与战争：现役军人的关系困扰与精神疾病发生率之间的前瞻性关联。

对平民概率样本的研究发现，婚姻困扰与几种精神疾病的发生有关。但是，很少有关于军事人员的婚姻困扰和精神疾病发生率的纵向研究。这项研究在来自以下国家的现役士兵的概率样本中研究了婚姻困扰与严重抑郁发作（MDE），广泛性焦虑症（GAD），恐慌症，创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和物质使用障碍之间的前瞻性关联美国陆军（N = 934）。结果表明，在基线时不符合相关疾病诊断标准的个体中，基线时的婚姻困扰与5年后评估的30天MDE，GAD和PTSD发生率相关。这些结果支持对现役军事人员中婚姻困扰的作用以及心理病理的发作和病程的持续研究，并表明旨在预防或减少婚姻困扰的基于夫妇的干预措施可能对军事心理疾病的预防和治疗有效。人员。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
