Chaplains have a critical role in the military organization and health care. Using the 2015 Health-Related Behavior Survey, we compared Service Members' (SM) use of chaplaincy services to their use of other behavioral health (BH) services: 26.2% used any BH service and 8.0% met with a chaplain/clergyperson for BH. Among the 36.5% of SM who self-identified needing counseling, percentages of SMs receiving counseling were lower among those perceiving stigma associated with BH services (51.0%) than those not perceiving stigma (66.7%). Of SM who sought counseling: many used multiple counseling sources (48.0%), with the most common sources being a BH professional (71.6%), a medical doctor (37.5%), and a chaplain or clergyperson (30.2%). SM who met with a chaplain or clergyperson had more severe histories of abuse, were more likely to have a mental health diagnosis, and had fewer positive health behaviors than SM who sought other sources of counseling.
随军牧师在军事组织和医疗保健中发挥着关键作用。通过2015年健康相关行为调查，我们比较了军人对牧师服务的使用情况与他们对其他行为健康服务的使用情况：26.2%的人使用过任何行为健康服务，8.0%的人因行为健康问题与牧师/神职人员会面。在自我认定需要咨询的36.5%的军人中，认为行为健康服务存在污名化的军人接受咨询的比例（51.0%）低于不认为存在污名化的军人（66.7%）。在寻求咨询的军人中：许多人使用多种咨询来源（48.0%），最常见的来源是行为健康专业人员（71.6%）、医生（37.5%）以及牧师或神职人员（30.2%）。与寻求其他咨询来源的军人相比，与牧师或神职人员会面的军人有更严重的虐待史，更有可能被诊断患有精神疾病，且积极健康行为较少。
