Identify demographic and psychosocial factors associated with civilian adjustment and reintegration among transitioning and ex-serving military personnel.
Convenience sample of N=866 transitioning and ex-serving military personnel surveyed online, including a prospective subset assessed before and after permanent separation.
Binary logistic regression analyses estimated the effects of demographic, service, and psychosocial predictors on self-reported civilian adjustment using adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
Adjustment in ex-serving personnel was significantly associated with gender (p=0.045), education level (p=0.031), marital status (p=0.022), discharge rank (p<0.001), employment status (p<0.001), years since discharge (p=0.001), PTSD symptoms (p<0.001), purpose and connection (p<0.001), help seeking (p=0.019), and beliefs about civilians (p<0.001).
Transitioning personnel adjustment was significantly linked to employment status (p<0.001), anger and perceived failure (p=0.02), and feeling unprepared for civilian life prior to discharge (p=0.002).
