■军队是一种男性主导的环境和文化,在这种环境和文化中,退伍军人可能会遇到重大的制度偏见。对于退伍军人来说,过渡可能会令人困惑和孤立。团体计划是过渡支持的重要来源。然而,我们对女性退伍军人的具体团体计划需求知之甚少。
■为了检查向退伍军人女性提供的心理健康和福祉支持小组计划,了解他们的价值,并找到最有帮助的。
■女性退伍军人(所有类型);使用任何设计的实证研究;在1990年至2022年之间发布;专注于过渡问题的小组计划(例如住房,employment,教育,身体健康,心理健康)。
■同行评议的期刊和论文。
■搜索了六个数据库:Medline(通过OvidSP),PsycINFO(通过OvidSP),EmCare(通过OvidSP),CINAHL,Scopus,和ProQuest。
■在35项纳入研究的群体类型中存在显著的异质性,节目内容和结构,会议长度,影响的测量,后续行动,等等。大多数程序是面对面交付的。身体健康和预防性保健是女性退伍军人的重要话题,特别是生殖健康,心理健康,和慢性疼痛。包括身体活动的团体,创意艺术,和替代疗法都有益于女性的身心健康。以优势为基础的女性团体,在妇女的帮助下,为退伍军人提供了安全的空间来分享她们的经历,增强自我表达,agency,和自我授权。这对于经历过军事性创伤的女性尤为重要。
■这项审查发现了针对女性退伍军人的少量但多样化的团体计划。许多计划评估的质量中等或低质量,并且缺乏足够的信息来确定收益是否会随着时间的推移而持续。没有涉及澳大利亚女性退伍军人的研究。尽管有这些担忧,这篇综述强调了几个有用的经验教训,可以帮助改善设计,delivery,以及对女性退伍军人团体项目的评估。
回顾女性退伍军人过渡心理健康和福祉支持小组计划女性退伍军人学习成为士兵,水手和飞行员在男性主导的环境和文化中,他们的存在是高度可见的,受到挑战,并经常受到制度偏见的影响。对于退伍军人来说,过渡可能会令人困惑和孤立。我们对退伍军人支持她们成功过渡到平民生活的具体需求知之甚少。团体计划是退伍军人过渡和过渡后支持的重要来源。这篇评论的目的是审查现有的文献,心理健康和福祉支持小组计划提供给女退伍军人,以了解什么是女退伍军人的价值,并发现在这些计划的设计和交付最有帮助。该综述包括35项研究;其中33项是在美国进行的。它们具有混合质量和多样化的设计。只有女性群体受到青睐。基于优势的计划,有助于建立情感优势,机构和授权的妇女被他们重视。身体健康和预防保健是退伍军人团体计划的重要主题,促进自我表达和自我授权的创造性艺术和替代疗法也是如此。
UNASSIGNED: The military is a male-dominated environment and culture in which women veterans can experience significant institutional prejudice.
Transition can be confusing and isolating for women veterans. Group programs are an important source of
transition support. However, we know little about the specific group program needs of women veterans.
UNASSIGNED: To examine mental health and well-being support group programs delivered to women veterans, to understand what they value and find most helpful.
UNASSIGNED: Women military veterans (all types); empirical studies using any design; published between 1990 and 2022; group programs focused on transition issues (such as housing, employment, education, physical health, mental health).
UNASSIGNED: Peer-reviewed journals and theses.
UNASSIGNED: Six databases searched: Medline (via Ovid SP), PsycINFO (via Ovid SP), EmCare (via Ovid SP), CINAHL, Scopus, and ProQuest.
UNASSIGNED: There was significant heterogeneity across 35 included studies in type of groups, program content and structure, length of sessions, measurement of impact, follow-up, and so forth. Most programs were delivered face to face. Physical health and preventative healthcare were important topics for women veterans, particularly reproductive health, mental health, and chronic pain. Groups that included physical activity, creative arts, and alternative therapies were beneficial to women\'s physical and mental health. Strengths-based women-only groups, facilitated by women, that created safe spaces for women veterans to share their experiences, enhanced self-expression, agency, and self-empowerment. This was particularly important for women who had experience military sexual trauma.
UNASSIGNED: This review found a small but diverse range of group programs available for women veterans. Many program evaluations were of moderate or low quality and lacked sufficient information to determine whether benefits were sustained over time. No studies involved Australian women veterans. Despite these concerns, this review highlighted several useful lessons that could help inform improved design, delivery, and evaluation of group programs for women veterans.
Review of women veteran
transition mental health and well-being support group programsWomen veterans learn to become soldiers, sailors and aviators in a male-dominated environment and culture in which their presence is highly visible, challenged and often subject to institutional prejudice.
Transition can be confusing and isolating for women veterans. We know little about the specific needs of women veterans to support them to transition successfully to civilian life. Group programs are an important source of
transition and post-
transition support for veterans. The aim of this review was to examine the existing literature on mental health and well-being support group programs delivered to women veterans to understand what women veterans value and find most helpful in the design and delivery of such programs. Thirty-five studies were included in this
review; 33 of these were conducted in the United States. They were of mixed quality and diverse design. Women only groups were favored. Strengths-based Programs that help to build emotional strengths, agency and empowered women were valued by them. Physical health and preventative healthcare are important topics for group programs for women veterans, as are creative arts and alternative therapies that facilitate self-expression and self-empowerment.
