To elucidate gaps in the preparedness of clergy and healthcare providers to care for service members (SM) with deployment-related mental health needs. Participants identified clinically relevant symptoms in a standardized video role play of a veteran with deployment-related mental health needs and discussed their preparedness to deal with SM. Clergy members identified suicide and depression most often, while providers identified difficulty sleeping, low energy, nightmares and irritability. Neither clergy nor providers felt prepared to minister to or treat SM with traumatic brain injury. Through a mixed methods approach, we identified gaps in preparedness of clergy and healthcare providers in dealing with the mental health needs of SM.
为了阐明神职人员和医疗服务提供者在照顾有与部署相关心理健康需求的军人方面准备工作中的差距。参与者在一个标准化视频角色扮演中识别出一名有与部署相关心理健康需求的退伍军人的临床相关症状，并讨论了他们应对军人的准备情况。神职人员最常识别出自杀和抑郁症状，而医疗服务提供者则识别出睡眠困难、精力不足、噩梦和易怒等症状。神职人员和医疗服务提供者都觉得没有准备好为患有创伤性脑损伤的军人提供牧养或治疗。通过混合方法，我们确定了神职人员和医疗服务提供者在应对军人心理健康需求方面准备工作中的差距。
