TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Reflections on the culture of veterans JO - AAOHN journal A1 - Hobbs, Keynan SP - 337 EP - 341 VL - 56 IS - 8 N2 - Veterans, as a cultural group, present unique challenges to health care providers. Veteran culture includes health inequalities and health disparities related to posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and substance abuse that must be understood in context to provide the best care possible to this population. Veterans are not, however, frequently viewed in terms of culturally competent nursing care. Changes in the approach to this population are necessary to provide effective, comprehensive, and compassionate care.
