Abstract: BACKGROUND:Since 2002 approximately 1,700 US military service members have experienced trauma related amputations from injuries incurred in Afhanistan and Iraq (Fisher, 2015). OBJECTIVE:This study explores the variables of resilience, individual characteristics, and employment status of a sample of these Veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and sustained an amputation. METHODS:Veterans identified through the VA Corporate Data Warehouse (N = 165) completed a survey on their experiences following amputation. RESULTS:Results indicate that several variables were significantly related to resilience, to include employment status, pain status, and prosthetic use. CONCLUSION:Recommendations for future research and practice are provided.
Keywords: Veterans, amputation, employment
