Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical utility of the Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI) in a sample of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Limited research has examined the quality of life of veterans with combat- and non-combat-related PTSD seeking treatment at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) residential rehabilitation treatment program (RRTP). This study investigated the difference in PTSD symptom severity and quality of life following successful completion of an RRTP using the PTSD Checklist (PCL) and the QOLI, and whether there is a differential treatment effect due to type of trauma exposure (i.e., combat-related and non-combat-related event). Findings suggest that veterans completing treatment at a VAMC RRTP demonstrate overall significant decreases in PTSD symptoms and improvement in their quality of life, with type of trauma exposure having no significant effect on treatment outcome.
