Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This cross-sectional study compares psychosocial adjustment in 121 military veterans and 197 civilians with injury-related visible differences. The research identifies body image psychological flexibility as a key predictor of outcomes for both groups, while noting that veterans experience higher levels of depression, PTSD, and stigma. The authors suggest these findings may inform the development of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based interventions.
