Respondents completed measures assessing their reported levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Samples 1 and 2 comprised partners of Australian military veterans who reported significantly greater symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress than the comparative population norms. The sample of SASR personnel partners (Sample 3) reported significantly lower levels of depression and anxiety, whereas the sample with non-SASR personnel partners (Sample 4) reported a significantly greater stress symptomatology than the comparative norms. Number of deployments was found to be associated with depression, anxiety, and stress in partners of non-SASR veterans (Sample 4). Lessons and protective factors can be learnt from groups within the current military as to what may assist partners and families to maintain a better level of psychosocial health.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:27:41 AEST ]]> Still living in a war zone: perceived health and wellbeing of partners of Vietnam veterans attending partners' support groups in New South Wales, Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6983 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:49 AEDT ]]>
