The Psychological Well-Being of Finnish Peacekeeping Veterans Post-Deployment

International peacekeeping operations often take place in environments in which frequent exposure to high levels of stress is likely. Thus, implications to psychological well-being can be expected. This study examined the psychological well-being of peacekeeping veterans post-deployment and assessed possible contributing factors during deployment. A total of 2,317 Finnish veterans of peacekeeping operations took the survey within 3 months post-deployment on average; the survey covered the following categories: job strain during the operation, potentially traumatic events during deployment, and post-deployment symptoms.
