ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application of fuzzy mathematics theory in the evaluation of medical students' comprehensive mental quality. Methods A total of 80 medical undergraduates studying in the Affiliated Huai'an No.1 People’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from October to December 2017 were randomly selected to conduct a questionnaire survey on medical students' mental quality. The questionnaires were designed by the study group, containing 3 first-level items (learning pressure, life stress and interpersonal stress), and 19 secondary items, with the recovery rate as 95%. Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was used for data processing and analysis. Results By comparing the data obtained from the comprehensive evaluation of the secondary factors with those of the pre-set evaluation set, the study concluded that 25.00% of the medical students need to adjust the future pressure, 41.70% the family health status pressure and 26.79% the appearance pressure according to the principle of maximum mem-bership degree. The comprehensive evaluation of the first four factors (0.249 7, 0.268 9, 0.270 2, and 0.211 2) showed that the comprehensive mental quality of medical students was "good". The quantitative analysis results showed that 27.02% of the medical students had good comprehensive mental quality, 24.97% need the mental quality adjustments, 26.89% had the average mental quality, and 21.12% had outstanding mental quality. Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation indicated that it is necessary to adjust the learning pressure and life stress of medical students, while the interpersonal stress had little effect on the mental quality of medical students. Conclusion The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation adopts the quantitative method to deal with the qualitative indicators uniformly, being scientific and reasonable. The corresponding data of each indicator can be easily identified with the help of the indicator system built up in the evaluation, which provides evidence for distinguishing and improving the corresponding decision-making for improving the medical students' mental quality. This evaluation method has strong applicability and provides new methods and ideas for objectively evaluating the comprehensive mental quality of medical students.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of group psychological training on mental health of military students and field soldiers.Methods A total of 60 students and 48 soldiers received group psychological quality training and studied a textbook Mental Quality Training for armymen for 3 months.Mental Quality Questionnaire for Amymen (MQQA),Symptom CheckList 90 (SCL-90),Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS),Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) were employed to evaluate mental health and psychological quality of subject before and after the training.All the data were analyzed by independent-samples t test.Results (1) The difference in MQQA score of field soldiers before and after training was significantly larger than that of military students in loyalty and general score,and lower in willpower((-16.58 ± 7.75) vs.(-1.75 ± 8.68),(-27.74 ± 28.74) vs.(-12.57 ± 30.96),P ＜ 0.05).(2) The SCL-90 difference of field soldiers between before and after training was significantly larger than that of military students in hostility and phobic anxiety((0.26 ±0.47) vs.(0.07 ± 0.24),(0.13 ± 0.40) vs.(0.02 ± 0.13),P ＜ 0.05).(3) The difference in emotion score of field soldiers between before and after training was significantly larger than that of military students in SAS,SDS,SAI,TAI and STAI (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The effects of group psychological quality training on field soldier group are better than that of military students,which is helpful to improve mental quality and mental health,as well as to relax anxiety and depression of soldiers.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the mental health and its relationship with mental quality of training logistic soldiers in field.Methods Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90) and Mental Quality Questionnaire for armymen (MQQA) were employed to evaluate the mental health and mental quality of 230 training logistic soldiers in field,and then an analysis was carried out on the characteristics of the training logistic soldiers on mental health and its relationship with mental quality.Results ①The psychological problem's ratio of training soldiers was 21.3％,and the ratio of the male(22.8％) was significantly higher than that of the female(15.2％) (x2 =8.64,P=0.00).In SCL-90,the scores of somatization (1.46 ± 0.63),hostility (1.49 ± 0.75) and psychotism (1.43 ±0.68) were all higher in training soldiers than the army norm.The factor scores of somatization (1.49 ± 0.66)and psychotism(1.46 ± 0.72) in the male training soldiers were considerably higher than those of the male soldiers norm (P ＜ 0.05),but not in the female(P ＞ 0.05).②There existed a significantly negative correlation between the factor scores of the mental quality and that of SCL-90 (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01).③The SCL-90 scores existed clear differences in obsessive-compulsive,interpersonal sensitivity,depression,hostility and paranoid ideation among different mental quality groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The mental health of training logistic soldiers is poor.The mental health is closely related to the mental quality.Therefore,the mental health education and mental quality training should be strengthened to the training logistic soldiers.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the characteristics of autonomic nervous responses to down-regulating emotion strategy in servicemen with different mental qualities and exposed to fear emotion. Methods Mental Quality Questionnaire of Armymen was employed to select participants from 841 servicemen from Chongqing, among whom 90 participants were randomly selected, including 30 with high mental quality, 30 with moderate mental quality and 30 with low mental quality. Fear emotion was elicited among them by watching 2 video clips, and an 8-channel bio-feedback instrument was used to record their autonomic nervous responses and the average recovery time by down-regulating emotion strategy. Results (1) When the cognitive-avoidance was employed, the blood volume pulse (BVP) in the low mental quality group ([5. 47 ± 6. 33] mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0. 133 kPa) was significantly higher than those in the moderate and high mental quality groups ([1. 26 ± 2. 54; 0. 94 ± 3. 10] mmHg), but the standard deviation of all normal intervals(SDNN) in the low mental quality group ([3. 31 ± 17. 69] ms) was significantly lower than that in the high mental quality group ([52. 23 ± 47. 30] ms). (2)In the servicemen with high mental quality the recovery time of BVP (26. 00 ± 43. 84) s] was significantly higher by simply watching than those by expression-suppression ([23. 50 ± 34. 96] s) and the cognitive-avoidance ([22. 00 ± 36. 15]s). Meanwhile, the recovery time of skin conductance (SC) in high mental quality group ([106. 50 ± 20. 28]s) was significantly higher than that in the low mental quality group([103. 00± 37. 73] s). (3) When the cognitive-avoidance strategy was used, the recovery time of SC was significantly longer in the high mental quality group ([68. 50 ± 49. 39] s) than that in moderate ([106. 50 ± 24. 95]s) and low mental quality groups ([118. 00 ± 4. 22] s). (4) There was no significant difference in autonomic nervous responses between the different mental quality groups when down-regulating modulation was used to reduce the fear emotion. Conclusion Cognitive-avoidance strategy is more beneficial for the servicemen with high mental quality receiving down-regulating modulation of the fear emotion. The ability to regulate the sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve is stronger in servicemen with high mental quality level than those with moderate and low mental qualities.

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore activity characteristics of diverse autonomic nervous system of armymen with different mental quality levels during dread emotion processes.MethodsMental Quality Questionnaire of Armymen was used to select participants.The activities of the diverse autonomic nervous system of armymen withdifferent mental quality levels during dread emotion processes were discussed by physiological - psychological experiments.Results ( 1 ) Under neutral condition blood volume pulse (BPV) is greater in low mental quality group( ( -0.87 ±0.64)mm Hg) than in high( -0.28 ±0.24)mm Hg).(2) During dread emotion processes the normalized low frequency spectral component(LF) and skin conductance (SC) are greater in low mental quality group ( (6.54 ± 2.96) nU),(0.78 ± 0.11 ) umho) than in moderate ( ( 1.32 ± 1.25 ) nU,( (0.22 ± 0.15 ) umho) and high ((3.51 ±2.28 )nU,((0.30 ±0.12) umho).(3) During dread emotion processes the recovery time of HR and the average recovery time of skin conductance( SC ),skin temperature( ST),blood volume pulse(BVP) and HR are greater in low mental quality ( 61.58 ± 35.66 ) s,( 36.78 ± 18.58 ) s ) than in high ( ( 22.36 ± 6.87 ) s,(56.87 ± 23.98 ) s).(4) In emotional arousal,and low mental quality (0.88 ± 2.54 ) in neutral conditions change their arousal'was significantly greater than the middle (0.57 ± 2.88) and high psychological quality group (0.15 ± 1.87) ; Low mental quality group (2.17 ±2.39) under the conditions of pleasure in the dread was significantlygreater than the middle ( 1.87 ± 1.45 ) and high psychological quality group ( 1.24 ± 1.66).ConclusionThe findings indicate that armymen with low mental quality is more likely to show corresponding physiological arousal and alert status in face of the neutral or weak emotional stimuli.When facing dread emotional stimuli,they would show stronger physiological arousal mainly basing on the excitement of sympathetic nerve system,and such statuswould last much longer to bring about more fierce pain experience.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the structure of Armymen' s Mental Quality Scale. Methods Army-men's Mental Quality Scale was administrated to 1426 Chinese armymen in five areas of China,and quantitative methods,such as exploratory factor analysis ( EFA), confirmatory factor analysis ( CFA) was adopted . Results (1) Exploratory factor analysis showed that the 15 factors of armymen' s mental quality can explain 58.328% of total variance. (2)Fit indexes of 15-factor structure model were all consistent with model fitting condition. (3) One factor two and five factor one model of mental quality fitted well. The structure of armymen' s mental quality include 5 dimensions (concretely 15 factors):aptitude,loyalty,bravery,self-confidence and willpower respectively. The aptitude was comprised of judgment, decision-making and response; the loyalty consists of patriotism, dedication and responsibility; the bravery was constituted of determination,steadiness and constancy;the self-confidence consists of imperturbation,independence and team spirit;the willpower consists of adaptability,adjustment and endurance. Conclusion The structure model is reasonable and Armymen' s Mental Quality Scale has good structural validity.
