  • War zone veteran cognitive-related functional decline and posttraumatic stress symptoms

    Open AccessJennifer J Vasterling, Arjun Bhalla et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2025

    Although WZV functional cognitive decline was associated with greater partner stress, this relationship appeared attributable to WZV hyperarousal symptoms. Findings suggest that partners of WZVs with elevated hyperarousal symptoms may require additional resources to help mitigate their stressors and that WZVs reporting worsened cognitive-related functioning may benefit from interventions targeting arousal and other PTSS in addition to interventio…

  • Aging women Veterans’ health and well-being

    Christina M Marini, Anica Pless KaiserARTICLEJournal of Women & Aging2024

    Women have served in various military and civilian roles in warzones throughout history. In 1948, women were granted regular status in the U.S. military (Kamarck, 2016). About 265,000 women served

  • Do appraisals of military service indicate current distress in aging Vietnam War combat veterans

    Open AccessAnica Pless Kaiser, Christopher B Brady et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2024

    Assessing appraisals of military service may identify veterans experiencing psychological distress who may benefit from referral for psychological interventions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Impact of Military Service in Vietnam on Coping and Health Behaviors of Aging Veterans During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessJeanne Mager Stellman, Steven D Stellman et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Many Vietnam War veterans who experienced military trauma still exhibit PTSD symptomatology. Little is known about how new stressful situations, like the COVID-19 pandemic, affect previously traumatized people or whether they will react differently to them. We explore whether military combat experiences in Vietnam affect veterans' perceived abilities to cope with COVID-19 and whether current PTSD symptoms and later-adulthood reengagement with tra…

  • PTSD symptom severity mediates the impact of war zone stress exposure on postdeployment physical health

    Open AccessRichard A Vandiver, Jennifer Schuster Wachen et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2022

    Findings support the unique and significant role of PTSD in the development of physical health problems in the wake of war zone stress for Gulf War veterans. These results suggest that targeted PTSD interventions could reduce or prevent future physical health problems that can result from trauma exposure and mental health sequelae linked to military service.

  • Aging veterans’ mental health and well-being in the context of Covid-19

    Open AccessChristina M Marini, Anica Pless Kaiser et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2020

    Prior wartime trauma likely acts as a double-edged sword that promotes both aging veterans' vulnerability and resilience in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic. During this stressful time, aging veterans may benefit from having an array of socially supportive network ties. We therefore suggest that clinicians working with veterans encourage veterans to (a) create or sustain positive social connections while maintaining physical distance …

  • Stressful and positive experiences of women who served in Vietnam

    Anica Pless Kaiser, Joyce Wang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Women & Aging2017

    Experiences of women who served during the Vietnam War have been described in interviews/anecdotal reports but rarely in empirical literature. Potential positive (versus negative) aspects of service or its impact on well-being are seldom considered. We describe stressful and positive experiences reported by approximately 1,300 female military personnel, Red Cross workers, and others deployed to Vietnam. Prominent stressful (e.g., negative living/…

  • Women at war

    Open AccessAnica Pless Kaiser, Daniel Kabat et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2017

    Relatively little has been written about the military women who served in Vietnam, and there is virtually no literature on deployed civilian women (non-military). We examined the experiences of 1285 American women, military and civilian, who served in Vietnam during the war and responded to a mail survey conducted approximately 25 years later in which they were asked to report and reflect upon their experiences and social and health histories. We…
