This study aimed to assess embitterment among elderly war veterans and its association with major psychopathological factors.Methods Participants included Vietnam War veterans who visited a psychiatric clinic. Based on the Posttraumatic Embitterment Disorder Self-Rating Scale (PTEDS) score, the participants were divided into the embitterment (PTED(+), mean score of PTEDS items [mPTEDS] \u22651.6) and non-embitterment (PTED(-), mPTEDS &lt;1.6) groups. Demographic characteristics, combat exposure severity, depression, anxiety, sleep, and alcohol use disorder symptom scores of the participants were collected and compared between the PTED(+) and PTED(-) groups. A correlation analysis between symptom measure scores and the mPTEDS was conducted. The influence of psychopathology on embitterment was investigated using stepwise multiple linear regression analysis.Results In total, 60 participants (28 in PTED(+) and 32 in PTED(-)) were included. Among those in PTED(+), 21 (35.0%) showed mild embitterment symptoms (1.6\u2264 mPTEDS &lt;2.5) and 7 (11.7%) reported moderate or severe embitterment symptoms (mPTEDS \u22652.5). The mean scores of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety were significantly higher in the PTED(+) than in the PTED(-) group. The mPTEDS were significantly correlated with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorder scores. The PTSD symptoms significantly explained the higher mPTEDS score in a regression model.Conclusion Embitterment symptoms were associated with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms in elderly veterans, similar to the results of prior studies involving only the general population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.30773\/pi.2023.0299","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,23]],"date-time":"2024-02-23T04:29:36Z","timestamp":1708662576000},"page":"191-199","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.30773\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Embitterment
