ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the intermediary and regulating effect of self?esteem on per?ceived stress and training burnout among accelerated plateau soldiers. Methods A total of 700 accelerated plateau soldiers were investigated which were chosen by a random cluster sampling method,and assessed by the Perceived Stress Scale, Self?esteem Scale and Self?compiled Soldiers' Training Burnout Questionnaire. Results ( 1) The total score of training burnout,the score of physical and mental exhaustion and the score of training alienated among soldiers who had a history of training injury (27.85±5.80,14.89±3.46 and 6.89± 2.26,respectively) were significantly higher than those of soldiers who didn't have a history of training injury (25.05±5.12,12.68±3.25 and 6.16±2.78,respectively),and the differences were significant ( t= 4.321, 5.764,2.825,all P<0.01). The total score of training burnout,the score of physical and mental exhaustion and the score of training alienated among soldiers who had a high training expectation were higher than those of soldiers who didn't have a high training expectation,and the differences were significant (P<0.01). (2) Among accelerated plateau soldiers,training burnout showed significantly positive correlation with perceived stress ( r=0.323, P<0.01),and significantly negative correlation with self?esteem ( r=-0.409, P<0.01). (3) The intermediary role of self?esteem between perceived stress and training burnout was remarkable (P<0.01) ,which accounted for 33.8% of the total effect,and self?esteem also had a regulating effect (P<0.05) . Conclusion Radical plateau soldiers have remarkable differences due to the history of training injury or training expectations,and self?esteem has partial intermediary and regulating effect between perceived stress and training burnout.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship among psychological stress, emotion regulation type and job burnout of military stationed in Xinjiang,and provide theoretical basis for intervening job burn-out in military stationed in Xinjiang.Methods 757 soldiers were chosen by random cluster sampling meth-od and measured with the job burnout scale for military personnel,the psychological stress self-evaluation test and the questionnaire of the soldier’ s emotion regulation type.Results ①The scores of somatization,self-evaluation,passive work slowdown and job burnout of the only-child soldiers ( respectively ( 6.34 ±4.86 ) , (7.66±4.16),(5.00±3.51),(28.60±15.82)) were significantly higher than those of the non-only-child sol-diers(respectively(5.34±4.51),(6.89±4.28),(4.25±3.22),(25.73±15.04) ( t=2.804,2.384,2.950, 2.446;P<0.05 or P<0.01) .For the score of the three factors ( sense of achievement,somatization,and pas-sive work slowdown),as well as the total score of job burnout,soldiers who had injury history were signifi-cantly higher than those who had not ( t=3.471,3.676,4.222,3.469;P<0.01) .The total score and five fac-tors scores of job burnout among soldiers who had high expectation were significantly lower than those soldier who had normal or less expectation ( P<0.05 or P<0.01).② Psychological stress,cognition attention,self comfort,training expectation and emotional appeal had significant predictive effect on job burnout ( t=14. 518,8.241,-4.332,2.990,-2.695;P<0.01).③Cognition attention played a mediating role between psy-chological stress and job burnout,and the rate of mediating effect was 18.8%.Self comfort played a mediating role between psychological stress and job burnout,and the rate of mediating effect was 4.4%.Conclusion -Only-child or not,injury history and training expectation have important influence on job burnout.Cognition attention and self comfort play mediating role between psychological stress and job burnout.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship among A-type behavior,job burnout and psychosomatic health in grassroots officers and soldiers stationed in Xinjiang, which provides the theoretical basis to maintain their psychosomatic health.Methods Evaluation was carried out with A-type behavior questionnaire, military job burnout scale and simple soldiers psychosomatic health scale in 1 939 grassroots officers and soldiers chosen by random cluster sampling method from army stationed in Xinjiang.Results ①The total scores and each factor scores of the scale had significant positive correlation among the physical scale, the job buruout scale and time hurry (TH) ,competitive and hostility (CH) (r=0.170-0.716, P＜0.01).②Job burnout entered into the physical and mental health regression equation and could explain 68.6％ of the variance(β=0.195, t=32.211, P＜0.01);TH, CH entered the regression equation of job burnout and could explain 29.5％ of the variance(t=4.925,4.427).③ TH indirectly affected physical and mental health through job burnout, the mediating effect of the amount was 0.27 ×0.83=0.2241;CH indirectly affected physical and mental health by job bumout,the mediating effect of the amount was 0.30×0.83 =0.2490.Conclusion Job burnout has fully mediated effect between TH, CH and physical and mental health.
ABSTRACT
Objective To develop recruits training burnout self-reported questionnaires, and test the reliability and validity.Methods 780 recruits(360 for first test ,420 for second test) in Xinjiang were randomly assesscd with training burnout self-reported questionnaires.Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were applied to the data, and tested the reliability and validity of recruits training burnout self-reported questionnaires.Results The questionnaires consisted of 13 items and 3 dimensions.One of the dimensions (physically and psychologically exhausted situation, training-alienation, low accomplishment) , explained 61.599％ of the total variance.Cronbach's α coefficient of the whole questionnaire was 0.837, Cronbach's α coefficient of each partial scale were between 0.775 and 0.807.Split-half reliability of the whole scale reached to 0.817, split-half reliability of each partial were between 0.758 and 0.793.The correlation coefficient among each dimensions were 0.267 to 0.569 (P＜0.01) ,and the coefficient between each dimensions and the total score were between 0.671 and 0.857(P＜0.01).Confirmatory factor analysis showed that three factor model was optimal (GFI =0.935, AGFI =0.902, NFI =0.907, CFI =0.936, IFI =0.935, RMSEA =0.050).The three dimensions and the total questionnaire had significant positive correlations with mental stress (r=-0.215--0.313, P＜ 0.01) and significant negative correlations with depression(r=0.319-0.602, P＜0.01).Conclusion The recruits training burnout self-reported questionnaires meets the requirements of psychological surveying, and could be used to text recruits training burnout.
ABSTRACT
Object To study the protective effects of glycosides of cistanche (GCs) on focal cerebral ischemic rats. Methods Focal cerebral ischemia in rats was induced by 24 h occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO). The infarct area was measured by nitrobenzene thiocyanate (NBT) staining technique. The content of neurological deficits was evaluated by 0-11 scales. The activities of antioxidases and contents of MDA in ischemic brain tissue were analyzed. Results Significant decrease in infarct area and improvement in neurological deficits were observed by oral administration of GCs 125, 250 mg/kg, respectively. Significant increase in activities of SOD and GSH-Px, and significant decrease in contents of MDA in rats were also observed after 24 h MCAO. Conclusion GCs has a neuroprotective effect against focal cerebral ischemia and the effect may be related to the increase in activities of SOD and GSH-Px.
