Publisher's Synopsis
This insightful book delves into the intricate web of relationships among sleep disturbances, depressive symptoms, inflammatory markers, and sexual trauma in female veterans. By conducting correlational analyses, the study aims to shed light on the physical and mental health effects of sexual trauma in this demographic, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of their well-being.
The findings reveal significant correlations between a reported history of sexual trauma and various sleep parameters, including longer sleep latencies, poorer sleep efficiency, shorter sleep durations, more daytime dysfunction, and overall poorer sleep quality in female veterans. Additionally, a reported history of sexual trauma is significantly linked to depressive symptoms, encompassing anhedonia and negative affect.
