ABSTRACT

U.S. service members are at an enhanced risk for developing mental disorders. To address these challenges, while promoting operational readiness and improving mental health outcomes, the Department of Defense directed each service component to develop and implement universal resilience enhancing programs. This paper provides a review of theoretical approaches conceptualizing resilience to trauma, including the theoretical foundations of programs currently in place. The resilience programs of U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps are described, and available program effectiveness data are reviewed. Gaps between theory and practice are identified and an alternative method of assessing psychological readiness in Army units that is informed by resilience theory is offered as one way to address these gaps and scientific concerns. By comprehensively assessing the stressors affecting Soldiers at regular intervals, military leaders may be able to better identify and mitigate stressors in a systematic way that bolsters individual and unit psychological fitness. An enhanced psychological readiness metric stands to strengthen the validity of current resilience programs, bring clarity to the mechanisms of resilience, and provide a novel way for leaders to promote readiness in their units. Application of this metric within the infrastructure of existing reporting systems stands to improve mental health outcomes for Service Members, enhance the psychological readiness of the force, and reduce healthcare costs over time.

美国军队的韧性增强计划:理论与应用实践的探索

摘要

美国军人患精神障碍的风险更高。为了应对这些挑战,同时促进作战准备和改善心理健康结果,国防部指示每个军种部门制定和实施普遍的复原力增强计划。本文回顾了将创伤复原力概念化的理论方法,包括当前实施计划的理论基础。描述了美国陆军、美国空军、美国海军和美国海军陆战队的弹性计划,并审查了可用的计划有效性数据。确定了理论与实践之间的差距,并提供了一种以复原力理论为依据的评估陆军部队心理准备情况的替代方法,作为解决这些差距和科学问题的一种方法。通过定期全面评估影响士兵的压力源,军事领导人可能能够以系统的方式更好地识别和缓解压力源,从而增强个人和单位的心理健康。增强的心理准备指标有助于加强当前弹性计划的有效性,明确弹性机制,并为领导者提供一种促进其单位准备就绪的新方法。在现有报告系统的基础设施中应用这一指标有助于改善服务成员的心理健康结果,增强部队的心理准备,并随着时间的推移降低医疗成本。军事领导人或许能够以系统的方式更好地识别和减轻压力源,从而增强个人和单位的心理健康。增强的心理准备指标有助于加强当前弹性计划的有效性,明确弹性机制,并为领导者提供一种促进其单位准备就绪的新方法。在现有报告系统的基础设施中应用这一指标有助于改善服务成员的心理健康结果,增强部队的心理准备,并随着时间的推移降低医疗成本。军事领导人或许能够以系统的方式更好地识别和减轻压力源,从而增强个人和单位的心理健康。增强的心理准备指标有助于加强当前弹性计划的有效性,明确弹性机制,并为领导者提供一种促进其单位准备就绪的新方法。在现有报告系统的基础设施中应用这一指标有助于改善服务成员的心理健康结果,增强部队的心理准备,并随着时间的推移降低医疗成本。并为领导者提供一种促进其单位准备就绪的新方法。在现有报告系统的基础设施中应用这一指标有助于改善服务成员的心理健康结果,增强部队的心理准备,并随着时间的推移降低医疗保健成本。并为领导者提供一种促进其单位准备就绪的新方法。在现有报告系统的基础设施中应用这一指标有助于改善服务成员的心理健康结果,增强部队的心理准备,并随着时间的推移降低医疗保健成本。
