Summary
It is important to understand what factors contribute to Service Members' stress. In this study, researchers examined the length of deployment, number of deployments, and rank of the Soldier as predictors of family, personal, and parenting stress. Results suggest that rank and number of deployments influenced spouses perceptions of family stress; rank and length of deployment influenced parental stress; and rank, length, and number of deployments influenced personal stress.
