退伍军人，特别是那些在战区服役的退伍军人及其家属的医疗保健需求是复杂的、具有挑战性的、相互关联的。身体限制影响心理健康，心理健康问题影响到适应平民生活的方方面面。舒适度理论提供了一种简单而全面的模式，用于识别需求，创建满足这些需求的干预措施，并评估这些干预措施的效果。本文的目的是演示如何将舒适度理论应用于退伍军人管理系统，以实现提供以退伍军人为中心的高质量护理的目标。讨论了舒适性理论在日常患者和家庭护理、出院计划和各种情况下的随访中的应用，以及提高机构完整性和品牌的方法。
The health care needs of veterans, especially those who have served in combat zones and their families are complicated, challenging, and interrelated. Physical limitations impact mental health, and mental health problems affect every aspect of adjustment to civilian life. Comfort theory offers a simple and holistic pattern for identifying needs, creating interventions to meet those needs, and evaluating the effects of those interventions. The aim of this article is to demonstrate how comfort theory has been applied throughout 1 Veterans Administration System to fulfill the goal of providing quality veteran-centric care. The application of comfort theory to daily patient and family care, discharge planning, and follow-up in various settings, as well as ways to enhance institutional integrity and branding are discussed.
