Abstract

Abstract Objective This study, conducted over a 2‐year period at 9 sites, describes the outcomes of an evidence‐based support program, Operation Family Caregiver, to gain an understanding of how a tailored, problem‐solving training could assist military caregivers, who provide care and assistance to those injured, ill, or disabled as a result of war. Method A pre‐post research design was employed to examine caregiver burden, depression, health complaints, satisfaction with life, children's anxiety, and problem solving among a convenience sample of caregivers of 128 military service members and veterans. Results Analysis revealed a decrease in depression, burden, and health complaints and an increase in satisfaction of life and positive problem‐solving skills (p < .001). Conclusion This program may be beneficial to caregiving families of military service and veterans living with posttraumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, and/or a physical disability.
