Abstract：
Background: The term military sexual trauma [MST] is increasingly used to describe instances of sexual harassment/assault that occur between serving personnel during military service. However, in the absence of a clear universal definition, MST is an increasingly contested term, with confusion about its scope, application to differing jurisdictions and implications for responses and treatment.Objective: This editorial provides a universal definition of MST, decoupled from any national system or framework.Method: Drawing on existing international evidence about the nature and impact of MST.Results and Conclusion: We argue that MST terminology provides a unique framing which recognises the institutional nature of MST victimisation and situates the context, behaviours, and impact on a continuum of violence.
MST terminology provides understanding and acknowledgement of the nuances of sexual harassment/assault in the military institution.MST terminology should encompass a continuum of sexual violence.Drawing on existing military health research, the authors contend that MST should be considered as a distinctive traumatic stressor.

摘要：
背景：军事性创伤[MST]一词越来越多地用于描述在服兵役期间在职人员之间发生的性骚扰/攻击的情况。然而,在没有明确的普遍定义的情况下，MST是一个越来越有争议的术语，对它的范围感到困惑，适用于不同的司法管辖区，以及对反应和治疗的影响。目标：这篇社论提供了MST的通用定义，与任何国家体系或框架脱钩。方法：借鉴有关MST的性质和影响的现有国际证据。结果和结论：我们认为MST术语提供了一个独特的框架，它认识到MST受害的制度性质并定位了上下文，行为,以及对连续暴力的影响。
MST术语提供了对军事机构中性骚扰/攻击的细微差别的理解和承认。MST术语应包括性暴力的连续性。借鉴现有的军队卫生研究,作者认为，MST应被视为一种独特的创伤性应激源。
