Combat injury in military service members affects both child and family functioning. This preliminary study examined the relationship of child distress postinjury to preinjury deployment-related family distress, injury severity, and family disruption postinjury. Child distress postinjury was assessed by reports from 41 spouses of combat-injured service members who had been hospitalized at two military tertiary care treatment centers. Families with high preinjury deployment-related family distress and high family disruption postinjury were more likely to report high child distress postinjury. Spouse-reported injury severity was unrelated to child distress. Findings suggest that early identification and intervention with combat-injured families experiencing distress and disruption may be warranted to support family and child health, regardless of injury severity.
军人在战斗中的受伤会影响儿童和家庭的功能。这项初步研究调查了受伤后儿童的痛苦与受伤前与部署相关的家庭痛苦、受伤严重程度和受伤后家庭破裂之间的关系。通过对在两家军事三级治疗中心住院的 41 名参战受伤军人配偶的报告评估了儿童受伤后的痛苦。受伤前与部署相关的家庭痛苦高、受伤后家庭破裂严重的家庭更有可能报告儿童受伤后的痛苦高。配偶报告的受伤严重程度与儿童痛苦无关。研究结果表明，无论受伤严重程度如何，都可能需要对遭受痛苦和破裂的参战受伤家庭进行早期识别和干预，以支持家庭和儿童健康。
