Demographic, health, and psychosocial data from two studies are presented on military nurses assigned to Vietnam. Army nurse subjects in the first study were grouped for comparison on three major variables: assignment to Vietnam before versus after the 1968 TET Offensive, type of nursing duties performed, and years of experience as a registered nurse (RN) prior to assignment in Vietnam. The second study compared another group of Army nurses with a group of Air Force and Navy nurses also assigned to Vietnam. Army nurses with less than two years RN experience prior to their assignment were found to be more at risk for such negative outcomes as difficulty establishing personal relationships and difficulty coping with stressful situations. Stress experiences, career dissatisfaction data, and health problems of military nurses and their children are reported. Also described are positive experiences of nurses in developing personal relationships in a rewarding professional environment.
本文呈现了两项关于派驻越南的军队护士的研究中的人口统计学、健康状况及社会心理数据。在第一项研究中，陆军护士受试者按三个主要变量分组进行比较：1968年春节攻势之前与之后被派往越南、所执行的护理职责类型，以及派驻越南之前作为注册护士（RN）的工作年限。第二项研究将另一组陆军护士与同样派驻越南的一组空军和海军护士进行了比较。研究发现，派驻越南之前RN工作经验少于两年的陆军护士出现诸如难以建立人际关系和难以应对压力状况等负面结果的风险更高。文中报告了军队护士及其子女的压力经历、职业满意度数据和健康问题。此外，还描述了护士们在有益的职业环境中发展人际关系的积极经历。
