This study examined coping, effortful control, and mental health among 65 youth (ages 9–15) residing in families where at least one parent was serving in the United States military. Parents provided basic demographic and deployment information.
This study examined the relation between adolescents’ coping, ability to regulate emotions (called “effortful control” in this study), parental support, and adjustment as reflected in their conduct problems and emotional symptoms.
We evaluated the preliminary effectiveness of a novel intervention that was developed to address combat stress injuries in active-duty military personnel.
A program development and evaluation study with a sample of Marine Service Members assessed the initial clinical feasibility of adaptive disclosure (AD), a new intervention developed to address combat stress injuries in Active Duty Service members.
Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current perceptions of breast-feeding support for active duty women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Perceptions of support for breastfeeding in the workplace for women serving in Active Duty across all branches of the military were examined. Results indicate that military personnel feel there is a moderate level of support for breastfeeding in the workplace.
This study describes the development and implementation of a parenting psychotherapy group that utilized Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and parenting psychoeducation for veterans with PTSD.
Pre- and post-treatment data were utilized to examine parenting outcomes (i.e., parenting behaviors, parenting satisfaction, and psychological flexibility) of veterans who participated in an acceptance and commitment therapy group.
The Offer Self-Image Questionnaire was administered to 135 adolescent military family members, ages 13 through 18. The data suggest that the usual demands placed on the military family do not deter the adolescent from developing a healthy self-image.
Survey data were used to asses differences in self-image between civilian and military adolescents. Adolescents in military families scored similar to or better than civilian adolescents on levels of self-image.
