ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the anti-earthquake military rescuers' psychosomatic health and social support, and observe the effect of intervention to the army men who suffered troubles.Methods By cluster random sampling, 152 military rescuers and 139 army men not taking part in the rescues were investigated by Facility Psychosomatic Health Scale and Social Support Rating Scale. Mental intervention or medication was performed to those produced psychosomatic health. Results The scores of somatic symptoms,mental status,psychosomatic health and social support of military rescuers and the control group were (4.09±4.70) ,(2.18 ±3.16) ,(6.27 ±7.08) ,(6.14 ±4.20) and (2.11 ±4.16) ,(1.37 ±3.09),(3.47 ±6.55),(4.57 ± 4.17 )respectively, the difference was significant(P＜0.05). The somatic symptoms had significantly positive correlation with mental status in military rescuers (r=0.17～0.52, P＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). Failure of social support had positive correlation with mental disorders (r=0.18～0.40, P＜0.05 or 0.01). The degree of social support was the main factor which had affected on the psychosomatic health of military rescuers. The somatic symptoms of military rescuers were apparently higher than their mental symptoms. Mental and pharmaceutical intervention showed good effect on them. Conclusion There is an apparent effect for military rescuers injured seriously psychosomatic health through medication or mental intervention.
ABSTRACT
Objective To formulate the Psychological Core Diathesis Scale for Military Personnel(Part B),and examine the reliability and validity of the scale.Methods Following the psychometric principles,a five factors model of general cognitive ability was firstly constructed by theoretic analysis.The items of initial scale were then developed,followed by repetitive revision and screening for the final establishment of the Psychological Core Diathesis Scale for Military Personnel(Part B),which was composed of 5subtests and 25 items.One thousand and two hundred healthy soldiers were chosen by randomized cluster sampling to participate in the measurement,and 1143valid questionnaires were analyzed for item analysis,Cronbach'?coefficients,split-half reliability and construct validity.Four weeks later,50out of the 1143soldiers were retested for evaluation of the test-retest reliability.Another 200soldiers were randomly collected for the measurement of Intelligence Test for Military Personnel(Part B)as well as the Psychological Core Diathesis Scale for Military Personnel(Part B).The correlation between the results obtained from the 2scales was then analyzed.Soldiers were comprehensively evaluated by their squad leader according to uniform standard.Finally,the top soldiers and ordinary soldiers(50each)were selected by 20 squad leaders from the 1143valid subjects,the scores of the 2groups of soldiers on Psychological Core Diathesis Scale for Military Personnel(Part B)were then compared.Results Item analysis indicated that the average difficulty index of subtests ranged from 0.44to 0.80,the discriminatory power from 0.31to 0.50,and the test-retest correlation coefficient between total scale and subtests from 0.6253 to 0.9558(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the reliability and validity of the core competence scale A for military personnel.Methods Three thousand and five hundred healthy soldiers volunteered to complete the core competence scale A for military personnel,and data were analyzed by AMOS7.0 and SPSS16.0 program.Results The confirmatory factor analysis for structure validity of all factors showed that 11 items with higher cross loading should be deleted according to its modified index,thus the revised scale was composed of 7 factors,21 competence components,65 items and one added lie subscale.Furthermore,the theoretical model of the scale was supported by the sample data,and the fit indexes,uch as GFI,AGFI,NFI and CFI of total scale,were all over 0.9,and RMSEA was lower than 0.08.In addition,the standardized factor loadings of all competence components were 0.393-0.791(P
