PURPOSE
To present the methods and summary findings of a nationwide survey on the current life experiences of Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF/OIF) Veterans with limb loss.
METHODS
A questionnaire was sent to Veterans with items covering sample demographics, summaries of health status, prosthesis usage and fit, employment experience, and use and satisfactions with support services and providers.
RESULTS
158 Veterans completed the survey. Approximately 40% perceived their overall status, function and problems related to the prosthesis as "Average". 58% wore a prosthesis over 10 hours per day and 74% did not use additional walking aids. Approximately 75% had at least "Moderate" pain and residual limb health problems. 37% were employed though conditions often changed. Over 80% used healthcare, mental health counseling and education services. The Departments of Defense and VA were primary service providers.
CONCLUSIONS
Respondents generally exhibited satisfactory life experiences. Results suggest a positive current status despite challenges that could impair health, functioning and quality of life. Support services were available as needed. Satisfaction with services and providers varied.
目的

方法
向退伍军人发送了一份问卷，其中的项目涵盖样本人口统计学、健康状况总结、假肢使用和适配情况、就业经历以及对支持服务和提供者的使用情况与满意度。
