RESUMO
Objective To explore correlation between alexithymia and resilience in military personnel.Methods 2802 subjects were chosen by random cluster sampling to outline the military personnel resilience scale and military alexithymia scale.The data were analyzed by t-test,chi-square test,ANOVA,correlation analysis and multiple linear regressions analysis.Results The prevalence rate of alexithymia was 6.85％,while resilience was 6.60％.Compared to sea force (45.62 ± 11.25 ) and air force (45.32 ± 9.98 ) subjects,land force (47.92 ± 9.92)had significantly higher total score in alexithymia(P＜ 0.05 ).Compared to sea force (87.35 ± 12.15 ) and air force ( 88.58 ± 10.39 ) subjects,land force ( 85.73 ± 10.70) had significantly lower total score in resilience(P ＜ 0.05 ).The total score and every factor score of subjects with alexithymia were significant lower than those of control group in resilience(P ＜ 0.05 ).Every factor of Resilience Scale were mild negative correlation with every factor of Alexithymia Scale (P＜0.01).Problem solving,volition,optimism and family supports were the main factors which had affected on the alexithymia.Conclusion The prevalence rate of alexithymia in military personnel is lower than ordinary people,but there are still issues in alexithymia and resilience,particularly in land force.The research show mild correlation between alexithymia and resilience in military personnel.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo explore the decade-feature of military personnel' mental maladjustment and its influenced factors.MethodsBy random cluster sampling,a total of 10883 military personnel( including army,navy and air-force) were tested by military mental maladjustment scale (MMMS) in three decades (80s' 90s',2000),then employing SPSS 17.0 for data analysis by using ANOVA,LSD multiple-comparison,and stepwise regression analysis.ResultsThe single scores for behavioral disorders( (2.79 ±2.96),(3.42 ± 2.98 ) vs (2.85± 2.93 ) ),affective disorders ( ( 1.50 ± 1.47 ),( 1.76 ± 1.50 ) vs ( 1.51 ± 1.47 ) ),interpersonal relationship( ( 1.78 ± 1.93 ),( 2.44 ± 2.14) vs (2.30 ± 2.18 ) ),environmental adjustment( (0.63 ± 0.94 ),( 0.89 ± 1.02 )vs ( 1.02 ± 1.18) ),and total score ( ( 6.71 ± 6.01 ),( 8.50 ± 6.20) vs ( 7.69 ± 6.89 ) ) had significant differences in the three decades (P ＜ 0.01 ).The changing disposition of behavior,emotion,interpersonal relationship and total mental maladjustment seemed as reversed V in three decades,but environmental adjustment revealed linear increase; stepwise regression analysis revealed that total scores of mental maladjustment had significant decadeeffect after introducing other four independent variables( t =5.96,P =0.000 ) ; the educational level,urban-rural also had significant influence on military mental maladjustment( t =- 3.15,- 9.02,P =0.002 ～ 0.000 ).ConclusionThe mental maladjustment of military personnel reveale a decreasing disposition from 80s',90s' of last century to the year of 2000 ; the influencing factors are decade,educational level and rural-urban.
RESUMO
Objectives To explore the decade-feature of military personnel' s psychosomatic health and Its Influence factors.Methods By random cluster sampling,a total of 11362 military personnel ( including army,navy and air-force) were tested by Chinese Psychosomatic Health Scale (CPSHS) from 80' ( n=1100),90' ( n=8000),2000' ( n =2262)then employing SPSS statistic 17.0 program for data analysis by using ANOVA,LSD multiple-comparison,and stepwise regression analysis.Results The factor of eye-ear( 80s' ( 1.17 ± 1.68),90s'( 1.19 ± 1.64 ),2000s' ( 1.12 ± 1.48 ) ) had no significant difference in three decades (P ＞ 0.05 ) ; military personnel' s respiratory system,cardiovascular system,alimentary system,bone-muscle,skin,reproductive-endocrine system,nervous system,anxiety,depression,psychotic traits,family history,mental heath,physical health,and total psychosomatic health psychosomatic health had significant differences in the three decades (P＜ 0.05 ～0.01 ).The stepwise regression analysis revealed that decade,length of military service,urban-rural,marital state had significant effect on total psychosomatic health( decade:t =- 12.452,length of military service:t =-0.024,urban-rural:t=-0.066,marital status:t=0.119,P＜0.012 ～0.000).Conclusions The level of military personnel's psychosomatic health is improved from 80' s,90' s of last century to the year of 2000; the influenced factors of military personnels' psychosomatic health are including decade,length of military service,rural-urban,and marital status.
RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the coping strategies and it’s relationship with self- rated health state of military personnel in Tibet. Methods: 490 military personnel in Tibet were assessed by Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Self- rated Health Measurement Scale. Results: Military personnel in Tibet adopting positive strategies (23.3%) were more than those adopting negative strategies(16.2%) when facing stresses. The most common coping strategies they adopted were "restraining negative emotion(36.9%)" and "consoling themselve(s41.2%)". The scores of positive coping style had signifi- cant correlation with the scores of three subscales and the total scores of the self- rated health. Conclusion: Different cop- ing strategies have different effects on self- rated health of military personnel in Tibet, and the positive strategies could im- prove their status of self- rated health, but negative ones had contrary effect to health.
RESUMO
Objective: To explore the possible factors that affect the mental health of military officers and soldiers in Tibet and provide the basis for the prevention of mental disorder and the practice of mental intervention. Methods: 90 Symptoms Check List (SCL-90),Life Events Scale(LES) and self-made questionnaire for general condition were used to investigate 299 army officers and soldiers who stationed in the frontier post of Tibet. The subjects were chosen in the principle of cluster sampling in squad or platoon. Results: The factors of environment satisfaction, negative live events, ways of entering Tibet, total score of life events, army years and age were positively related with SCL-90, while the hometown living condition had significantly negative relation with SCL-90. The factors of environment satisfaction, negative life events ,army years, motivation of joining the army, ways of entering Tibet and hometown living condition were in the regression equation(P
