Efficacy of Medical-Psychological Rehabilitation of Combatants

摘要

Treatment efficacy in the framework of medical-psychological rehabilitation was analyzed in 199 combatants during the first days and at 1.5 months after return from combat zones. The stages and content of medical-psychological rehabilitation, including psychopharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, are described. Significant improvements were seen in the clinical and social-psychological measures of subjects’ status. Reductions in the main psychopathological symptoms were seen both in adjustment disorders and in posttraumatic stress disorders. The need for providing rehabilitation to all combatants after return from combat zones, regardless of whether or not they have psychological disorders, is supported.
