Abstract

Background : There is international agreement that military families (MFs)—active service members, reservists, veterans, and their families—must be resilient to overcome military life adversities. Resilience is defined either as skillsets or as processes implicating multi-systems in a socio-ecological context. While research on resilience-building specific to children and families who face adversity is growing, there is a paucity of evidence on MF-centred resilience-building. Objective : This review describes the evidence on such resilience-building programming and determines if adversity is considered a barrier or facilitator to resilience-building. Methods : This scoping review yielded 4050 peer-reviewed articles from database inception until December 2023, found in 12 databases. Articles were deduplicated, leaving 1317 that were independently screened for eligibility by two reviewers. Disagreements were resolved through discussion with a third reviewer. Findings : Of these articles, 27 were included; 5 additional articles were also included from other sources. The vast majority of included studies (91%) were conducted in the United States. These 32 articles were organised into categories, including demographics, research methodologies used, resilience program descriptors, and outcomes. Conclusions : Our results reveal that programs on building MF resilience vary widely, often measuring non-resilience health and social outcomes. We provide preliminary insights for MF health and policy. Our review findings will be invaluable for further evidence-based programming that builds resilience in MFs.
