Summary
A survey of 639 spouses of currently or recently deployed Canadian Armed Forces members examined the moderating role of social support in the link between deployment stress and military spouses’ psychological well-being. Although social support from significant others was a significant predictor of better psychological health and lower levels of depression among military spouses, it did not buffer the effect of deployment stress on well-being.
