A study was undertaken to assess the health care needs of women in a combat deployment. During a 6-month period during the Persian Gulf War, 10,165 ambulatory visits from an armor division were studied. The results demonstrate that the health care needs of women can be managed by competently and broadly trained practitioners. Referral sites should provide for gynecologic consultants along with equipment and resources needed to manage pregnancy complications, pelvic pain, and abnormal cervical cytology. It is unlikely that women deployed in this setting pose a significant health care burden attributable solely to their gynecologic needs.
一项研究旨在评估处于战斗部署中的女性的医疗保健需求。在海湾战争期间的6个月里，对一个装甲师的10165次门诊就诊情况进行了研究。结果表明，女性的医疗保健需求可由训练有素、经验丰富的从业者来处理。转诊机构应配备妇科顾问以及处理妊娠并发症、盆腔疼痛和宫颈细胞学异常所需的设备和资源。在此种情况下部署的女性不太可能仅因其妇科需求而带来重大的医疗保健负担。
