Social Attitudes Toward Vietnam Veterans

Social attitude towards veterans of the Vietnam War I am interested in the results of the Vietnam War and the result of "the longest war in America". Therefore, I decided to study the social attitude towards the veterans of the Vietnam War. As I have a passion for watching veterans in the Vietnam War, my aim is to inform other people about how veterans are criticized and distorted. Personally, especially since my father is a veteran, I hope to learn more about the veteran attitude and views of the Vietnam War.

The US Veterans Affairs Bureau estimates that 830,000 Vietnam war veterans suffer from symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. The Vietnam War Veterans Adjustment Survey (NVVRS) revealed that during the study period 15.2% of men and 8.5% of female veterans in Vietnam suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. The lifetime prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder was 30.9% in males and 26.9% in females. In contrast to preliminary analysis of NVVRS data, data from NVVRS data reanalysis and data from Matsunaga Vietnam Veteran Veteran Project, Schnurr, Lunney, Sengupta and Waelde, the vast majority of Vietnamese veterans showed posttraumatic stress disorder Symptoms suffering (not the disease itself). Five quarters have reported the latest symptoms in Vietnam 20-25 years after interview

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the most common psychological disorder experienced by Vietnamese veterans. However, there are many other adjustment barriers and problems that have not yet been thoroughly investigated, such as social anxiety and social phobia. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of social phobia and coexistence of social phobia and posttraumatic stress disorder, and investigated the etiology of social anxiety of the traumatic victims. The interview was conducted with 41 Vietnamese combat veterans and the measures self-reported to assess post-traumatic stress disorder and social phobia have been completed. It also evaluated adversity of returning home. Using a conservative multi method evaluation method, it was found that 32% of the samples were positive for both social phobia and post traumatic stress disorder. Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder are more likely to receive additional diagnosis of social phobia than veterans without posttraumatic stress disorder

In 1983, Congress asked Virginia to study post-traumatic stress disorder and other post-war psychological problems of Vietnamese veterans. This is the first study to evaluate the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder among veterans, known as the National Vietnam War Veterans' Adjustment Study (NVVRS). NVVRS is more concerned about posttraumatic stress disorder because 15% of veterans are known to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Recently Congress urged VA to conduct a follow-up survey of NVVRS participants known as Vietnam Veterans Veterans Vertical Study (NVVLS). NVVLS was completed in December 2013 and is the first study to measure the long-term health and mental health of Vietnamese veterans.
