“Just sort of treading water”
Little is known about the lived experiences of the romantic partners of diplomatic personnel who often accompany their employed partners on frequent short-term inernational postings. However, evidence from similar populations (e.g. partners of military personnel who accompany their deployed partners) suggests that frequent, repeated overseas deployments can substantially affect the wellbeing of accompanying partners. Semi-structured interviews we…
Parenting and Covid-19
Diplomatic personnel played a critical role in looking after British nationals during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about their experiences of parenting during this time. Exploring the family-related experiences of diplomatic staff during the pandemic is important in order to understand the unique challenges faced by diplomatic families during a prolonged crisis and identify ways to support them. Semi-structured interviews were …
We’re all in the same storm, but not all of us are in the same boat”
The results of this study demonstrate that frontline UK Civil servants may need more tailored and flexible multilevel support (i.e., from peers, managers, organisations) during future public health emergencies when they are required to work from home. A series of data-informed recommendations are created and discussed
Queer Thoughts on Merce Cunningham
A “figure in the carpet” (as in the Henry James novella) within the choreography and biography of Merce Cunningham can be found in the relationship of his queerness to his choreographic innovations. Cunningham’s philosophies and practices can be seen to reflect multiple responses to homophobia and sexism—defensive maneuvers, circumventions, and interventions
Barriers and Facilitators to Successful Transition to Civilian Life for Ex‐Servicewomen
The role of women in the UK Armed Forces has changed considerably in the last decade. With the aim to increase the number of women serving in the military, research must consider the impact of both service and transition into civilian life on the health and well‐being of service and ex‐servicewomen (female veterans). This paper adds to the field by providing the perspective of service providers supporting ex‐service personnel with their mental he…
Experiences and impact of moral injury in human trafficking survivors
This study provides some of the first evidence that human trafficking survivors may be vulnerable to moral injury and indicates the impact that exposure to PMIEs can have on functioning. Future work is needed to ensure that statutory organisations consider the potential for causing moral injury when interacting with human trafficking survivors and clinical care teams are equipped to provide tailored guidance and support
Rates of, and factors associated with, common mental disorders in homeworking UK Government response employees’ during Covid-19
It is important to ensure UK Government employees' psychological needs are met whilst working from home and responding to enhanced incidents. It is recommended that workplaces should be seeking to continually build and improve employee resilience (e.g., through opportunities to increase social ties and support networks), essentially ensuring employees have necessary resources and skills to support themselves and others
Interpretations of ambiguous situations in combat veterans with and without post‐traumatic stress disorder
Deployed combat personnel are at increased risk of post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). People with PTSD often judge ambiguous information as negative or threatening (interpretation bias). However, this may be adaptive during deployment. The current study aimed to investigate the extent to which interpretation bias in combat personnel is associated with PTSD symptoms, rather than with appropriate situational awareness. Combat veterans with and …
Struggling, Forgotten, and Under Pressure
The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected physical, mental, and economic well-being across the globe and has disproportionately affected certain vulnerable groups. This paper provides a scoping review of literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sex workers, published between December 2019 and December 2022. Six databases were systematically searched, identifying 1009 citations; 63 studies were included in the review. Thematic analysis…
Psychological effects of mould and damp in the home
People spend a substantial amount of time at home, so it is important that homes are safe, healthy environments. Damp and mould represent common housing problems but little is known about their potential psychological effects. This scoping review explores existing literature on the relationship between household damp/mould and psychological wellbeing. Systematic searches of six databases were conducted, supplemented by hand-searches. Thirty studi…
You get looked at like you're failing
Staff in the National Health Service (NHS) are under considerable strain, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic; whilst NHS Trusts provide a variety of health and wellbeing support services, there has been little research investigating staff perceptions of these services. We interviewed 48 healthcare workers from 18 NHS Trusts in England about their experiences of workplace health and wellbeing support during the pandemic. Reflexive thematic analy…
“In the office nine to five, five days a week… those days are gone”
Remote working during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways in which employees work, showing them that they do not have to be in the office to successfully achieve their work goals and leaving many wanting flexibility to make their own decisions about working from home (or not). There are both benefits and challenges to remote working; managers can take steps to reduce some of the challenges by being available to support their employees, org…
The Relationship between of Moral Injury and Radicalisation
Moral injury and the need to carry out ethically responsible research
The need for research to advance scientific understanding must be balanced with ensuring the rights and wellbeing of participants are safeguarded, with some research topics posing more ethical quandaries for researchers than others. Moral injury is one such topic. Exposure to potentially morally injurious experiences can lead to significant distress, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and selfinjury. In this article, we …
The impact of moral injury on the wellbeing of UK military veterans
The results provide preliminary evidence that potentially morally injurious experiences are associated with adverse mental health outcomes in UK AF veterans. Further work is needed to better understand the interplay between morally injurious events and threat-based trauma in order to design effective pathways for prevention and intervention for people exposed to highly challenging events
A Service Evaluation of the Military HeadFIT Initiative
(1) Background: UK Armed Forces personnel provide first response, support and protection during national and international disasters and conflicts. They thus have a psychologically challenging role which requires them to maintain a good state of mental health and wellbeing. HeadFIT is a preventative initiative developed to help foster mental fitness through various self-help tools and resources online including techniques to de-stress and increas…
The legacy of Mars
Engaging on challenging duties, and returning to civilian life, are part of a routine military life both of which may negatively impact on their wellbeing. Numerous initiatives exist which aim to support the wellbeing of serving/transitioning personnel including, more recently, archaeology-based programs. However, little is known about the impact of archaeology – based programs making it difficult to know if they should be recommended or not. Thi…
Managing mental health challenges faced by healthcare workers during covid-19 pandemic
Neil Greenberg and colleagues set out measures that healthcare managers need to put in place to protect the mental health of healthcare staff having to make morally challenging decisions
Covid-19 and experiences of moral injury in front-line key workers
The COVID-19 virus outbreak was declared a pandemic by the WHO on 12 March 2020. Whilst the infection mortality rate is not fully understood, it appears to be considerably higher than that of other recent pandemics (e.g. H1N1 pandemic, mortality rate 0.02%) [1]. Furthermore, several groups of people, such as the elderly and those with some pre-existing medical conditions, appear to be particularly vulnerable to the disease [1,2]. International ev…
The psychological impact of quarantine and how to reduce it
An Open Label Pilot Study of a Brief Psychosocial Intervention for Disaster and Trauma Survivors
This study provides preliminary evidence that the delivery of the SOLAR program after disaster by trained, frontline workers with little or no mental health experience is feasible, acceptable, safe, and beneficial in reducing psychological symptoms and impairment among disaster survivors. Randomized controlled trials of the SOLAR program are required to advance evidence of its efficacy
Research fatigue in Covid-19 pandemic and post-disaster research
Guidelines for researchers wishing to reduce the occurrence of research fatigue include ensuring greater transparency within research; sharing of results; and using oversight or gatekeeper bodies to aid coordination. Failure to restrict the number of times that people are asked to participate in studies risks poor participation rates. This can subsequently affect the quality of information with which to inform policy-makers and protect the health…
Impact of Covid-19 on mental health care for Veterans
Perceived stigma and barriers to care in UK Armed Forces personnel and veterans with and without probable mental disorders
These results indicate that perceptions of stigma continue to exist in UK serving personnel and military veterans with current probable mental disorders. Efforts to address particular concerns (e.g. being seen as weak; difficulty accessing appointments) may be worthwhile and, ultimately, lead to improvements in military personnel and veteran wellbeing
Protecting the psychological wellbeing of staff exposed to disaster or emergency at work
Organisations can take steps to reduce the psychological impact of disasters on employees. This could be done through provision of training workshops incorporating mental health education to reduce stigma, and team-building exercises to encourage supportive workplace relationships
Laying Down Their Rifles
U.K. Reserve Forces, principally the Territorial Army (TA), have been increasingly used since the end of the cold war, but there have been some concerns about their mental health problems and also possible unwillingness to remain in service. This article reports on the retention issues of 191 TA personnel who deployed to Iraq from 2003 to 2006. Qualitative data were thematically analyzed from three complementary studies. The authors found that, i…
Life in and after the Armed Forces
This study focuses on the influence of structural aspects of social integration (social networks and social participation outside work) on mental health (common mental disorders (CMD), that is, depression and anxiety symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and alcohol misuse). This study examines differences in levels of social integration and associations between social integration and mental health among service leavers and per…

The UK's Reserve Forces
This article focuses on how the role and structure of the UK's Reserve Forces have changed since their foundation before the First World War, with particular attention paid to the last two decades, during which time government has sought to make the Reserves more useable and relevant to post-Cold War military missions, including changing the legislative and administrative basis of their use. Since 9/11, Reserves have played an important role in t…
Cultural Stress
The purpose of this article is to expand civil-military and military health research's concepts of stress with the addition of a theoretical construct of the concept known as 'cultural stress.' Military research often discusses combat and operational stress and its effect on soldiers but does not address unique culturally induced stressors created by the modern military's interaction with indigenous populations. Civilian research discusses stress…

Occupational Stress and Job Satisfaction in Media Personnel Assigned to the Iraq War (2003)
This paper investigates occupational stressors amongst media personnel assigned to work on covering the Iraq War via interviews with 54 journalists from the BBC and Reuters, who worked in Iraq between February and April 2003. A range of stressors were identified that could be categorized into three main themes, control over the situation, support from management and grief from the death of colleagues. Journalists not embedded with military units …
Screening for depleted uranium in the United Kingdom armed forces
Background: Depleted uranium (DU) use has been implicated in the poor health of many service personnel who have served in the Gulf and the Balkans. Although the health related risks are thought to be small the UK government has offered to set up a voluntary screening programme for service personnel. This study aimed to find out the characteristics and possible exposures to DU for those personnel who desire DU screening. Methods: This study looks …

Does anonymity increase the reporting of mental health symptoms
We found a significant effect on the reporting of sub-threshold and probable PTSD and certain stigmatizing beliefs (but not common mental disorders) when using an anonymous compared to identifiable questionnaire, with the anonymous questionnaire resulting in a higher prevalence of PTSD and increased reporting of three stigmatizing beliefs. This has implications for the conduct of mental health screening and research in the US and UK military
OP92 The Impact of Military Deployment, Combat Experiences and Post-Deployment Mental Health Problems on Violent Behaviour among UK Military Personnel
Background There is considerable media, political and public interest on both sides of the Atlantic in an alleged rise in violence among military personnel returned from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This study explores violence among a large sample of UK military personnel, a proportion of whom had been deployed to Iraq/Afghanistan. The aims were to estimate the prevalence of self-reported violence, examine the impact of deployment and comb…
OP91 Does Anonymity Increase the Reporting of Mental Health Symptoms
Background There is no doubt that the perceived stigma of having a mental disorder acts as a barrier to help seeking. It is possible that individuals may be reluctant to admit to symptoms suggestive of poor mental health when data can be linked to them, even if their personal details are only used to help them access care. This may be particularly relevant because individuals who have a mental health problem are more likely to experience barriers…
OP20 A Comparative Analysis of Deployment Associated Mental Health Issues in United States and United Kingdom Armed Forces
Background There are several differences in health outcomes between UK and US military personnel who have deployed to the recent conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan. Rates of survey-based posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) tend to be higher in US personnel, whilst self-reported rates of alcohol use tend to be higher in UK personnel. To explore potential reasons why mental health prevalence rates differ in the two countries a comparative analysis o…

Military and Disaster Psychiatry
Stigma as a Barrier to Seeking Health Care Among Military Personnel With Mental Health Problems
Approximately 60% of military personnel who experience mental health problems do not seek help, yet many of them could benefit from professional treatment. Across military studies, one of the most frequently reported barriers to help-seeking for mental health problems is concerns about stigma. It is, however, less clear how stigma influences mental health service utilization. This review will synthesize existing research on stigma, focusing on th…
Medical and Welfare Officers beliefs about post-deployment screening for mental health disorders in the UK Armed Forces
Welfare and healthcare providers are well disposed towards a screening programme for mental health but highlight a few concerns in its implementation. In particular Welfare Officers appear to require more training in how to respond to mental ill health. Concerns about available funding and resources to respond to increased workload will need to be addressed should post-deployment screening for mental health be introduced in the UK military
Combat Experiences and their Relationship to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Clusters in UK Military Personnel Deployed to Afghanistan
The association of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom clusters with combat and other operational experiences among United Kingdom Armed Forces (UK AF) personnel who deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 were examined. Previous studies suggest that the risk of developing PTSD rises as combat exposure levels increase. To date, no UK research has investigated how specific classes of combat and operational experiences relate to PTSD symptom clus…
Occupational moral injury and mental health
Background Many people confront potentially morally injurious experiences (PMIEs) in the course of their work which can violate deeply held moral values or beliefs, putting them at risk for psychological difficulties (e.g. post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, etc.). Aims We aimed to assess the effect of moral injury on mental health outcomes. Method We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between…
