The Exploration of the GWOT Combat Amputee's Experience With Longitudinal Care: A Qualitative Study

CONCLUSION: Based on the research question, this study found an intricate relationship between mental health, pain, and the experiences of the participants regarding their care and rehabilitation. However, the nature of qualitative research makes it impossible to determine generalizations that can be used to create meaningful change to address improving combat amputee veteran care. Further research into long-term health outcomes based on hypotheses not evaluated in existing literature would further improve the ability of health care providers to care for this unique patient population.PMID:38150398 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usad490
