Objective: In this article, we report findings from a 1-year longitudinal study examining the impact of change in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms following combat deployment on National Guard soldiers’ perceived parenting and couple adjustment 1 year following return from Iraq.
National Guard members' relationships with their partners and children can be impacted by military life.
Military personnel who have experienced combat trauma are at risk for developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A greater recognition of the complex array of vulnerability factors that contribute to PTSD severity has led researchers to examine other non–combat-related factors.
Veterans are at high risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), so it is important to understand the risk factors that contribute to PTSD severity.
This study examines associations between adolescent reports of family communication patterns (FCPs) and difficulties experienced during the deployment and reintegration of a military parent.
Family communication patterns in military families can have a significant impact on family resilience and military readiness. This study investigated adolescents' adjustment in military families during parental deployment and reintegration.
Objective: To determine the efficacy of the Mentors Offering Maternal Support (MOMS) program to reduce pregnancy-specific anxiety and depression and build self-esteem and resilience in military women.
