Abstract

Military personnel who have been involved in combat zones are at greater risk of mental health difficulties, physical health problems, and transitional issues. To alleviate transitional problems, militaries around the world have used a supported process known as decompression. There is limited published literature on decompression programs. This study describes the decompression program used by the New Zealand Defence Force and the perceptions of the decompression program held by military personnel. Results from this study suggest that military personnel believe such decompression programs are a vital component of the transition of personnel from a combat zone.
