Abstract

This study aimed to understand relationships between the facets of dispositional mindfulness and subjective health symptoms in treatment-seeking veterans with complex military exposure histories. Results indicate significant negative relationships between Reactive mindfulness and NSI total scores, and PCL-5 scores, but a significant positive relationship between Reactive mindfulness and Neuro-QoL scores.
