Abstract

Methodology. 161 combatants (108 with PTSD diagnosis) were examined during their hospitalization in psychiatry department. Psychopathological method, the PTSD Profile Scale, global assessment of functioning scale and the social adjustment rating scale were used.

Results. Mental disorders structure among examined combatants was determined by the prevalence of neurotic and stress-related disorders (73.3 %) where posttraumatic stress disorder constitutes 67.1 %. Differences in symptomatology profile allowed distinguishing three main clinical variants of combat PTSD: anxiousexplosive (51.9 %), dissociative (32.4 %) and apathetic (15.7 %). The first one is prognostically favorable (recovery in 37.5 %), while in others positive outcome consisted only 17.2 % and 17.7 %. Most important factors in PTSD prognosis were: clinical variant of the disorder (CC = –0.22), the severity of distressing recollections (CC = –0.30) and a history of traumatic brain injury (CC = –0.24).

Conclusion. The results can be useful in the fitness for duty examination of the combatants
