Abstract
Currently in the United States, nearly two million children are affected by military deployment of one or both of their parents. A review of current literature was conducted to\nanswer the research question, "What are the effects ofparental deployment on a child's health and well-being?" Four common themes were discovered in the literature: 1) psychological and behavioral effects of parental deployment on children; 2) possible physiological effects; 3) academics and school performance; and 4) amplified risk of child maltreatment by the at-home parent when the other parent is actively deployed. This paper describes the research process, presents research findings as they relate to nursing practice, and identifies areas that need further research relating to the effects of parental deployment on children's health and well-being.
