军事牧师是战斗行动中行为健康和精神支持的关键组成部分。对战斗行动的支持已经让这些照顾者付出了代价。本研究的目的是探索部署对陆军国民警卫队(ARNG)牧师的心理社会和健康特征以及重新融入社会的影响。74名ARNG牧师参加了一项匿名的在线调查。结果被分为两个相互排斥的组，战斗部署组和非战斗部署组。尽管两组人往往呈现相似的结果，但战斗部署的小组牧师明显更有可能处于更高的军衔，在ARNG中担任牧民角色的时间更长，并且在战斗暴露、韧性和饮酒方面表现出更高的分数。此外，分别有5名和7名参与者“经常”或“大量”赞同消极的宗教应对方式，其中大多数人来自战斗部署组。这些对放弃的认可可能与后备组件特定的部署担忧有关。
Military Chaplains are a critical component of behavioral health and spiritual support in combat operations. Support of combat operations has taken a toll on these caregivers. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of deployment on the psychosocial and health characteristics and reintegration of Army National Guard (ARNG) chaplains. Seventy-four ARNG chaplains participated in an anonymous, online survey. Results were categorized into two mutually exclusive groups, combat deployed and non-combat deployed. Although both groups tended to present similar results, Combat deployed group chaplains were significantly more likely to be of higher rank, have served in a pastoral role in the ARNG longer, and present with higher scores for combat exposure, resilience, and alcohol use. Further, five and seven participants, respectively, the majority of whom were from the combat deployed group, endorsed “frequently” or “a great deal” to negative religious coping. These endorsements of abandonment may relate back to Reserve component specific deployment concerns.
