"Spouses of returning Iraq and Afghanistan military service members report increased depression and anxiety post deployment as they work to reintegrate the family and service member. Year-long telephone support groups designed to educate, build coping skills, improve access to services for veteran and family, and serve as a source of shared support were tested. There were 14 groups with 86 spouses. Each group met 12 times with a trained group leader. Spouse satisfaction with the groups was high. Over the course of the year, spouse depression and anxiety were decreased and social support was increased. Spouses reported a decreased level of concern about the effects of reintegration on their social life, their home life, their family, their husband, and themselves. These findings suggest that telephone support groups are a viable means of providing information, support, and skills to military spouses. Based on the study, the Department of Veterans Affairs is implementing a national program, Spouse Telephone Support, to provide telephone support groups to spouses of OEF/OIF/OND veterans. Staff at each VA Medical Center will be trained and staff manuals and spouse workbooks are being provided."--DTIC abstract.
