“…The original factor with the most problematic items was authority/respect (3 of 6 items were problematic), followed by the harm/care, fairness/reciprocity, and in‐group loyalty factors (2 of 6 items per factor were problematic), and the purity/sanctity factor (1 of 6 items was problematic). Given the central significance of authority and respect in military culture, attributable to its hierarchical structure (Caforio & Nuciari, 2006; Hoffman, 2020; Kirkland, 2003; Weiss & Coll, 2011), it is not surprising that the most items were removed from the original authority/respect factor. Similarly, notions of fairness, reciprocity, in‐group loyalty, purity, and sanctity may have different meanings, significance, and utility in military culture, as opposed to civilian cultures.…”

Objectives Moral reasoning is an underexamined and potentially useful area of research relative to the care of moral injury in veterans. However, the most widely used measure of moral reasoning, the moral foundations questionnaire (MFQ), has not been validated in this population. Methods Post‐9/11 veterans (N = 311) completed questionnaires which included the MFQ. Veterans' scores were compared to the general US population. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test existing models of the MFQ in the sample. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was also used to examine potentially improved model fits. Results The two leading, preexisting MFQ models were both poor fits for the data. EFA results produced a four‐factor model for the veteran sample using 25 of the original 30 items of the MFQ. Conclusions Measuring moral reasoning among veterans may be important in understanding the experience of moral injury. However, the most widely used scale (MFQ) performs poorly among a sample of post‐9/11 veterans, indicating that veterans may respond differently to the measure than the general US population. Military culture may uniquely influence veterans' moral reasoning, suggesting the need for military specific measures for this construct.

“…This approach is considered a powerful tool for understanding an individual's subjective experience to gain insight into their motivations and actions and cutting through taken-for-granted assumptions and conventional wisdom (Polit & Beck, 2017). It has been used in studies aimed at understanding veterans' experiences (e.g., Hoffman, 2020;Monteith et al, 2019).…”

Veterans Team Recovery Integrative Immersion Process (Vet TRIIP) is a community-based, nonprofit organization that uses complementary and integrative approaches to alleviate the symptoms associated with posttraumatic stress and chronic pain to create healthy, happy, and productive lives for veterans, service members, their families, and caregivers. One of the services provided is weekly yoga classes. This study evaluated the benefits and other related factors associated with the participation in the Vet TRIIP yoga program. Vet TRIIP yoga participants completed surveys in which they rated their pain and stress levels before and after each session. A subgroup of participants was interviewed about their motivations, perceived benefits, barriers to participation, and feedback of the program. The participants reported significant decreases in pain and stress levels after yoga. Motivators for participation included current pain and stress levels and recommendations by healthcare providers and Vet TRIIP staff. Perceived benefits were improved physical and mental wellbeing. Misconceptions about yoga that may hinder veterans from participating include gender, socioeconomic, and religious biases along with the physical demands of the practice. The participants were satisfied with the format of the program. These findings highlight the impact of Vet TRIIP in the community to address chronic pain and posttraumatic stress among veterans, service members, and caregivers. Entities like Vet TRIIP should be supported. Further research is needed to evaluate the impact of community-based programs supporting veterans. Collaborations between academia and community programs are encouraged to advance scientific understanding of chronic pain and stress co-morbidities and the role of complementary and integrative approaches.
