Military spouses frequently cope with separation, but limited research reviewing the impact of an overseas relocation when a spouse accompanies their serving husband/wife has been conducted. A search for studies reviewing the impact of foreign postings on these accompanying spouses was undertaken utilizing 12 databases and other resources. Ultimately, 12 studies were analyzed and four key themes produced: functioning of a military family on an international posting, loss, wellbeing and support. Overall, additional stressors are associated with an overseas posting and experiences are specific to an individual and their circumstances. Further research is required to examine the potential relationship between a spouse's experiences overseas and the impact on their health and wellbeing. This would help to identify possible areas of health care provision and support necessary to maximize a military spouse's experience.
军属经常要应对两地分居的情况，但目前针对配偶随军人驻外而产生的海外部署影响的研究还很有限。利用 12 个数据库和其他资源，我们检索了评估驻外对这些随行配偶影响的研究。最终，我们分析了 12 项研究，得出了四个关键主题：国际部署下军人家庭的运转、丧失感、幸福感和支持。总的来说，海外部署会带来更多的压力，而且个人经历和环境因人而异。需要进一步研究来评估配偶在海外的经历与他们的健康和幸福感之间的潜在关系。这将有助于确定提供医疗保健和支持的必要领域，以最大限度地提高军属的体验。
