Abstract
Studies have noted that close relationships with individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder can lead to traumatic stress among their caregivers. This study intended to understand the prevalence of secondary trauma stress among spouses of veterans and the association of the degrees of posttraumatic stress disorder in veterans with the severity of symptoms in their spouses. One hundred veterans and their spouses were studied and data were gathered using measures and questionnaires. The severity of posttraumatic stress disorder in the veterans group predicted the degree of traumatic stress in the spouses group (p =.0001). Among the demographic factors, only the duration of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms in veterans predicted the severity of secondary trauma stress in spouses (p =.01).
