military service member and veteran Reintegration a conceptual analysis unified definition and key domains
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Christine Elnitsky, Michael P Fisher, Cara L BlevinsAbstract:Returning military service members and veterans may experience a variety of stress-related disorders and challenges when reintegrating from the military to the community. Facilitating the Reintegration, transition, readjustment and coping, and community integration, of military service members and veterans (MSMVs) is a societal priority. To date, research addressing MSMV Reintegration has not identified a comprehensive definition of the term or defined the broader context within which the process of Reintegration occurs although both are needed to promote valid and reliable measurement of Reintegration and clarify related challenges, processes, and their impact on outcomes. Therefore, this principle-based concept analysis sought to review existing empirical Reintegration measurement instruments and identify the problems and needs of MSMV Reintegration to provide a unified definition of Reintegration to guide future research, clinical practice, and related services. We identified 1,459 articles in the health and social sciences literature, published between 1990 and 2015, by searching multiple electronic databases. Screening of abstracts and full text review based on our inclusion/ exclusion criteria, yielded 117 articles for review. Two investigators used constant conceptual comparison to evaluate relevant articles independently. We examined the term Reintegration and related terms (i.e., transition, readjustment, community integration) identifying trends in their use over time, analyzed the eight Reintegration survey instruments, and synthesized service member and veteran self-reported challenges and needs for Reintegration. More Reintegration research was published during the last 5 years (n= 373) than in the previous 10 years combined (n= 130). The research suggests coping with life stresses plays an integral role in military service member and veteran post-deployment Reintegration. Key domains of Reintegration include individual, interpersonal, community organizations, and societal factors that may facilitate or challenge successful Reintegration, and results suggest that successful coping with life stressors plays an integral role in post-deployment Reintegration. Overall, the literature does not provide a comprehensive representation of Reintegration among military service members and veterans. Although previous research describes military service member and veteran Reintegration challenges, this concept analysis provides a unified definition of the phenomenon and identifies key domains of Reintegration that may broaden our understanding and guide Reintegration research and practice.

military service member and veteran Reintegration a critical review and adapted ecological model
American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 2017Co-Authors: Christine Elnitsky, Michael P Fisher, Cara L Blevins, Kathryn M MagruderAbstract:Returning military service members and veterans (MSMVs) experience a wide range of stress-related disorders in addition to social and occupational difficulties when reintegrating to the community. Facilitating Reintegration of MSMVs following deployment is a societal priority. With an objective of identifying challenges and facilitators for Reintegration of MSMVs of the current war era, we critically review and identify gaps in the literature. We searched 8 electronic databases and identified 1,764 articles. Screening of abstracts and full-text review based on our inclusion/exclusion criteria, yielded 186 articles for review. Two investigators evaluating relevant articles independently found a lack of clear definition or comprehensive theorizing about MSMV Reintegration. To address these gaps, we linked the findings from the literature to provide a unified definition of Reintegration and adapted the social ecological systems theory to guide research and practice aimed at MSMV Reintegration. Furthermore, we identified individual, interpersonal, community, and societal challenges related to Reintegration. The 186 studies published from 2001 (the start of the current war era) to 2015 included 6 experimental studies or clinical trials. Most studies do not adequately account for context or more than a narrow set of potential influences on MSMV Reintegration. Little evidence was found that evaluated interventions for health conditions, rehabilitation, and employment, or effective models of integrated delivery systems. We recommend an ecological model of MSMV Reintegration to advance research and practice processes and outcomes at 4 levels (individual, interpersonal, organizational, and societal).

legislative and community support for offender Reintegration in victoria
Deakin Law Review, 2011Co-Authors: Lesley Hardcastle, Terry Bartholomew, Joseph GraffamAbstract:The status of offender rehabilitation has been influenced by the prevailing social climate, the promotion of ways to improve rehabilitation's efficacy, and the well documented cycling of correctional imperatives. A renewed interest in offender transitions and Reintegration has been apparent in recent years and most western correctional systems now feature policies and/or programs that address issues relating to the housing, employment, education and the broader 'resettlement' of offenders. However, this movement of correctional imperatives into the 'social' realm brings considerable challenges. Perhaps most significantly, the achievement of Reintegration is dependent on juridical and community support in ways that other sentencing goals are not. Given the array of understandings of what 'Reintegration' actually is, the abundance of programs claiming such a focus, and the reliance that reintegrative ideas have on community support, measuring the extent and nature of such support is seen as a useful exercise. With the above in mind, the goal of this paper is to identify legislative and community obstacles to the success of reintegrative ideals and policies. The paper first examines relevant legislation for references to reintegrative notions, finding a legislative ambivalence about such ideas. It then presents findings from a Victoria-wide survey of community views about the Reintegration of ex-offenders. Participants in the community survey (n = 2635) were asked for their views about sentencing objectives, and the nature of their support for employment and housing initiatives. The results showed low levels of overall support for Reintegration, with numerous more subtle distinctions being evident. The data also identify numerous areas where reintegrative programs are likely to be more readily accepted. The findings also indicate a need for targeted research into the correlates of community readiness for specific aspects of offender Reintegration, and underlines the need for community education about the social implications of effective Reintegration policies for urban, regional and rural communities.

Community Reintegration of Ex-Prisoners: Type and Degree of Change in Variables Influencing Successful Reintegration
International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology, 2007Co-Authors: Alison J. Shinkfield, Joseph GraffamAbstract:Community Reintegration of ex-prisoners is an important issue in efforts to reduce recidivism. The present study examined the multiple, complex, and dynamic nature of variables influencing successful Reintegration by assessing the type and degree of change in Reintegration variables over time. Participants were 79 adult prisoners (54 male, 25 female) who completed a prerelease questionnaire 1 month before their release, which focused on prison-related variables, participant background, and anticipated conditions upon release. A postrelease questionnaire was administered to the same participants at 1-4 weeks and 3-4 months postrelease, focusing on the quality of life conditions experienced following release. Results indicate that current health ratings and several indicators of drug use were significantly different over the three measurement phases. Ratings of employment and housing stability, finance, and social support were unchanged over the postrelease period. Theoretical implications of the present investigation for Reintegration theory are discussed, together with practical applications.
