Given the significant negative impact of relationship distress on the health and well being of members of the military, preventative and accessible care is needed in order to provide crucial relationship support to service members and their families.
The feasibility for adapting the Marriage Checkup (MC), a brief intervention for enhancing marital resiliency, for use in a clinic serving an Active Duty military population was assessed.
This study examined psychosocial characteristics of individuals at risk for perpetrating both intimate partner violence (IPV risk) and child physical abuse (CPA risk). The sample consisted of 775 female and 592 male Navy recruits.
Survey data of 1,367 Navy recruits were utilized to explore the demographic and psychosocial variables associated with those who are at risk for engaging in intimate partner violence (IPV) and child physical abuse (CPA).
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of applying role-exit theory concepts in the counseling of military couples experiencing marital discord following extended periods of deployment.
Shifting roles (i.e., husband/wife, caretaker) within a couple can be difficult to adapt to, especially for married couples experiencing lengthy military deployments.
The purpose of the current study was to describe reintegration experiences of U.S. military nurses returning from deployments in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. A qualitative study using a phenomenological method was conducted. The population comprised nurses who served in the U.S.
Little is known about the experiences of military nurses’ reintegration following return from combat deployments. In this study, thirty-five U.S. military nurses shared their lived experiences returning from deployment.
