Amplified PTSD Symptoms From Self-Attributed Moral Transgressions are Linked to Internalized Moral Identity During Military Deployment

CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the significant role of self-attributed moral transgressions during deployment in the development of PTSS among military service members-especially in those with a strong internalized moral identity. This finding suggests a "target of opportunity" for the development of intervention strategies that mitigate PTSS by addressing the moral dimensions of military service.PMID:38554270 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae064
