PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by terrifying events like natural disasters, accidents or assaults. Symptoms include intrusive memories, negative thoughts, hopelessness, memory issues, relationship difficulties and changes in reactions like irritability and trouble sleeping. PTSD from military combat or high-stress trauma is a major issue. Factors like combat nature, cultural views on mental health and sociodemographics affect PTSD in the Philippine Army. Long-term counterinsurgency and disaster response increase PTSD risk. Research found the six-factor first-order model best fits Complex PTSD (CPTSD), including re-experiencing, avoidance, threat, affective dysregulation, negative self-concept and relationship disturbances. Moral injury exposure affects treatment-seeking. Positive family functioning can mitigate PTSD’s impact, but cultural stigma may hinder help-seeking, affecting family and community health. Socio-demographic factors like age, education and service length influence PTSD development and management. 

Tailored support systems and interventions enhance soldier's well being and operational readiness.

Learning Objectives:

  • To analyze how family dynamics and socio-demographic factors influence PTSD among combat soldiers and to develop strategies to enhance soldiers’ well-being and operational readiness through tailored support systems and interventions among PTSD military army combat soldiers in the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other military bases globally.
  • To comprehend the impact of family dynamics among PTSD combat soldiers, analyze the influence of socio-demographic factors on PTSD and develop tailored support systems and interventions to enhance soldiers’ well-being and operational readiness among PTSD military army combat soldiers in the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other military bases globally.
  • At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to identify the impact of family dynamics on PTSD among combat soldiers, examine how socio-demographic factors influence PTSD, and implement tailored support systems and interventions on PTSD among military army combat soldiers in the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other military bases globally.
