What Mental Skills Do Military Members Use Through Rehabilitation?

The purpose of this master’s thesis was to explore what psychological skills were used by complexly physically injured military members who had self-reported successfully recovered.
Data collection included the OMSAT-3 questionnaire, a semi-structed interview, and a second semi-structured interview with participants who volunteered. One manuscript was written. Using both deductive and inductive thematic analysis, the manuscript explored what psychological skills were used by complexly physically injured (N= 8, Mage= 36) military members. The findings revealed sixteen skills were used, four skills commonly used amongst all participants (i.e., goal setting, confidence, commitment, and motivation). Collectively, the findings from this master’s thesis contributes to the literature by providing a novel exploration into what mental skills may be used throughout rehabilitation from grave injury.
