“…Provision of social support has recently emerged as an important treatment component in treating those with various kinds of traumatic exposures (Cloitre et al, 2016) because increasing social support can positively affect functioning and PTSD symptoms (Tsai et al, 2012). Success in occupational or academic settings often requires effective social functioning to avoid interpersonal conflict and to support effective communication in the pursuit of goals (Drebing et al, 2016). In addition, for survivors of sexual assault and childhood maltreatment, social support is a protective factor that may help prevent the development of PTSD both within and outside the treatment context (Guay et al, 2006).…”

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can lead to multiple deleterious outcomes and has negative, sometimes debilitating, impacts on general functioning of those affected. This systematic review of 26 articles evaluates the existing literature on social functioning outcomes used in PTSD research, the association between PTSD and social functioning, and the impact of interventions for PTSD on social functioning. A review of 26 articles using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for systematic reviews showed that PTSD was associated with significant impairment in global social functioning. This review also reveals the need for both standardized definitions and better assessment methods to operationalize social functioning and improve our ability to compare findings across studies. The literature also suggests that some evidence-based treatments for PTSD improve social functioning despite not explicitly targeting social functioning in the treatment. The findings of this review suggest that there are ample opportunities for improving both research and interventions to improve global social functioning in PTSD.

The large literature on the correlates of entrepreneurship pays little attention to America’s military Veterans. We leverage two national surveys with rich demographic and behavioural data to estimate how military experience relates to entrepreneurship and financial success. After accounting for demographic differences, Veterans are less likely to become entrepreneurs than their peers. Veteran entrepreneurs also earn less and have lower financial satisfaction. These results contradict the common narrative and theoretical expectation that average military experience imparts human capital that prepares Veterans for entrepreneurship. We also find that female, Black and more educated Veterans are relatively more likely to pursue entrepreneurship. JEL Codes: L26, J23, J24.

Introduction The growing number of servicemen injured during the war in Ukraine creates a need for effective social and psychological rehabilitation and the identification of early signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Aims The aim of the study is to identify the need for psychological support for the rehabilitation of servicemen with PTSD. Methods The study employed the Primary Care PTSD Screen (Screen PC-PTSD), the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and the Rogers-Diamond Socio-psychological Adaptation Test. The statistics were processed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and regression analysis. Results This study reported that 29.65% of the servicemen showed signs of PTSD and observed symptoms of intrusion, avoidance, and hyperarousal. It was established that PTSD symptoms reduced the indicators of physical (R2=0.634, p<0.001) and psychological (R2=0.607, p<0.001) components of the quality of life of the servicemen, as well as socio-psychological adaptation (R2=0.576, p<0.001). Conclusion Among the studied servicemen, almost 30% demonstrated signs of PTSD, emphasizing the relevance of the studied problem. The identified negative impact of PTSD on the quality of life of the servicemen proved the importance of their complex social and psychological rehabilitation, involving the use of specific means at each stage. The obtained results can be used in the development of an algorithm for providing socio-psychological assistance to servicemen with signs of PTSD.
