摘要

在资深研究中，妇女的代表性往往不足或完全缺失，对她们的心理健康需求的了解仍然有限。本研究调查了英国女性退伍军人社区样本的心理健康需求。共有750/1680名(44.6%)参与者完成了在线调查。收集了有关社会人口和军事因素、心理健康和福祉以及童年逆境的数据。调查结果显示，心理健康问题的患病率和合并症很高，包括常见的心理健康问题(28.6%)和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)(10.8%)。年龄较大、没有工作、服役期间职位较低、感受到的社会支持较少、经历的孤独感更大的女性退伍军人更有可能报告这些困难。结果进一步揭示了高童年和军事逆境和福利困难。这些发现有助于深入了解妇女退伍军人的需要，并对提供适当支助产生影响。讨论了研究结果的普遍性。

Understanding the Mental Health Needs of a Community-Sample of UK Women Veterans

Women are often underrepresented or entirely missing from veteran research, and there remains limited understanding of their mental health needs. The present study investigated the mental health needs of a community sample of UK women veterans. A total of 750/1680 (44.6%) participants completed an online survey. Data was collected on sociodemographic and military factors, mental health and wellbeing, and childhood adversity. Findings revealed a high prevalence and comorbidity of mental health difficulties, including common mental health difficulties (28.6%) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (10.8%). Women veterans who were older, not working, held a lower rank during service, perceived less social support and experienced greater loneliness were more likely to report such difficulties. Results further revealed high childhood and military adversity, and wellbeing difficulties. Such findings provide insight into the needs of women veterans and have implications for providing appropriate support. Considerations of the generalizability of findings are discussed.
