Since 2002 approximately 1,700 US military service members have experienced trauma related amputations from injuries incurred in Afhanistan and Iraq (Fisher, 2015).
This study explores the variables of resilience, individual characteristics, and employment status of a sample of these Veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and sustained an amputation.
Veterans identified through the VA Corporate Data Warehouse (N = 165) completed a survey on their experiences following amputation.
Results indicate that several variables were significantly related to resilience, to include employment status, pain status, and prosthetic use.
Recommendations for future research and practice are provided.
自2002年以来,约1700名美国军人在阿富汗和伊拉克受伤后经历了与创伤相关的截肢(费舍尔,2015年)。
本研究探讨了在持久自由行动(OEF)和伊拉克自由行动(OIF)中服役并遭受截肢的这些退伍军人样本的复原力、个人特征和就业状况变量。
通过退伍军人事务部企业数据仓库识别出的退伍军人(N = 165)完成了一项关于截肢后经历的调查。
结果表明,几个变量与复原力显著相关,包括就业状况、疼痛状况和假肢使用情况。
提供了对未来研究和实践的建议。
