Identifying contextual influences of community reintegration among injured servicemembers. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2015;52(2):XX–XX. Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Compare relative contribution of contextual factors between groups of servicemembers with different levels of community reintegration (CR). Relevance – CR after injury and rehabilitation is difficult for many injured servicemembers. – Little is known about how personal and environmental contextual factors influence CR.

Identifying contextual influences of community reintegration among injured servicemembers. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2015;52(2):XX–XX. Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Results Cluster analysis identified 3 groups: – Low, moderate, and high levels of CR. Statistical analyses identified contextual factors that significantly discriminated between CR clusters. Factors that significantly contributed to CR scores: – General self-efficacy, services and assistance barriers, physical and structural barriers, attitudes and support barriers, perceived level of disability/handicap, work and school barriers, and policy barriers.

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Conclusion Injured servicemembers with lower CR scores: – Had lower general self-efficacy scores. – Reported more difficulty with environmental barriers. – Reported their injuries as more disabling This study supports the need for ecological approaches that address the unique contexts in which injured servicemembers live.
