note = "Funding Information: This work was supported by grants from the TriService Nursing Research Program. Funding Information: The goal of the Air Force Nursing Research Program at WHMC is to conduct research on topics unique to Air Force and military nursing. The nine stressors of flight and the military environment of care have been used as a conceptual model to guide the development of research studies. The studies conducted to date describe how the environment affects practice and when the environment directly affects the patient. The studies conducted are examples of the numerous military nursing research projects supported by funding from the TSNRP. Funding Information: The research funded by TSNRP contributes to the body of nursing knowledge by supporting scientific research, particularly knowledge that is unique to the military. As our nation faces the threat of chemical and biologic attacks, terrorism, and increased deployment of soldiers to battlefields in remote locations throughout the world, it is more important than ever that we ensure the advancement of military nursing research. Supporting research that advances healthcare in peace and in war is critical to the care of our military members and their families. This will require that research funds continue to be available to support military nursing research, that a strong infrastructure to provide resources in support of nursing research programs continues to exist, and that the military nursing corps continues to attract, train, and retain PhD prepared nurse researchers.
