The present study assessed possible links between religion and the buffering of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in a population of Kuwaiti Military Personnel. Specifically, this investigation assessed the effects of religious belief versus religious practice as psychosocial buffers of PTSD. Results did not support an inverse relationship between religiosity and PTSD. However, the findings do suggest the "moderate" religious practice did appear to have a beneficial impact on recovery from the after-effects of traumatic shock. An unexpected finding suggests that being a Prisoner of War is not a predictor of PTSD in Kuwaiti military personnel. This finding is discussed within the context of the invasion of Kuwait and contrasted to PTSD in armies that were occupying forces, versus the Kuwaiti army which was an occupied force. Although religion is not a direct buffer to PTSD, the findings do suggest a relationship that religious moderation may be associated with remission from PTSD symptoms. The theoretical implications of these results and areas for future research are discussed.
