Impact of Military Deployment on Family Relationships

Type
Summary

The requirements of military service (e.g. training, deployment) can negatively influence military families and children. Survey data were utilized to examine the ways in which length of service and length of deployment predict parenting stress and parenting quality among spouses of Active Duty Airmen. Results indicated that shorter length of service and longer deployments were related to an increase in problems in the relationship between children and parents at home.
