J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(10):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.12.0228 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.12.0228JSP Aim – Use phenomenological approach to gain in-depth understanding of how military women adjust to traumatic limb loss. Relevance – More than 220,000 U.S. servicewomen fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. – Little published research on the psychosocial adjustment of women to traumatic amputation.

J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(10):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.12.0228 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.12.0228JSP Methods 6 female Army/Army National Guard members answered 3 open-ended questions: – “Please tell me a little bit about your background and how you came to join the military.” – “In what ways, if any, has being injured changed your life?” – “If you were to walk into a hospital today as a peer visitor to visit a servicewoman who had just lost a limb, what would you tell her?” All interviews were conducted via Skype or V-Tel and ranged from 90 to 120 min.

Recovery in military environment promoted “kick-butt” attitude. – These servicewomen reported that positive attitude, social support, personal courage, resiliency, military training, humor, and belief their loss had meaning most influenced their recovery.

Study supports earlier research indicating social support and positive attitude were important factors in adjustment.
