  • Title: Trauma-related sleep disturbance and self-reported physical health symptoms in treatment-seeking female rape victims.
    Author: Clum GA, Nishith P, Resick PA.
    Journal: J Nerv Ment Dis; 2001 Sep; 189(9):618-22. PubMed ID: 11580006.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between trauma-related sleep disturbance and physical health symptoms in treatment-seeking female rape victims. A total of 167 participants were assessed for PTSD symptoms, depression, sleep disturbance, and frequency of self-reported health symptoms. Results demonstrated that trauma-related sleep disturbance predicted unique variance in physical health symptoms after other PTSD and depression symptoms were controlled. The findings suggest that trauma-related sleep disturbance is one potential factor contributing to physical health symptoms in rape victims with PTSD.
