It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health
  • Military Medicine

Background:

  • Many American military personnel from Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts require ongoing management of war-related health conditions.
  • Access to care is fragmented due to limitations in Military Health System (MHS) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) coverage, and increasing use of non-VA services.
  • Veterans' families may also need care for service-related conditions, and current medical curricula inadequately address veteran-specific healthcare needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the urgent need for enhanced expertise and training in veteran and family healthcare beyond the VA and MHS.
  • To advocate for the development of technical and cultural competencies for clinicians caring for veterans.
  • To propose collaborative strategies for improving the quality and accessibility of post-deployment care for veterans and their families.

Main Methods:

  • The study's findings are based on an analysis of the current landscape of veteran healthcare access and education.
  • It synthesizes information regarding the limitations of existing healthcare systems and educational programs for military service members and veterans.
  • Recommendations are proposed based on identified gaps in care and training.

Main Results:

  • Most medical schools lack comprehensive veteran-focused curricula, offering limited training on service-related conditions.
  • There is a significant gap in specialized knowledge and cultural competency among civilian healthcare providers regarding veteran healthcare needs.
  • Existing healthcare systems present barriers to consistent and comprehensive care for veterans and their families post-service.

Conclusions:

  • Collaborative partnerships between the VA, Department of Defense (DoD), veterans groups, and medical organizations are essential.
  • Developing and formally assessing technical and cultural competencies for clinicians is critical for providing appropriate veteran and family care.
  • Improved care delivery models and educational initiatives are necessary to ensure quality post-deployment healthcare for veterans.
