- Accommodation involves adapting behaviors in response to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Data from 259 Army couples (i.e., men Service members, women civilian partners) were used to examine civilian partners’ accommodation experiences (i.e., how often they used accommodation and how distressing the behavior is) in connection to Service members’ PTSD symptoms, as well as both partners’ psychological distress (i.e., depressive symptoms and hostility) and relationship satisfaction. Service members and their civilian partners reported related but distinct experiences of accommodation frequency and distress, as well as of relationship satisfaction.
