| Objectives:With the changing of our country’s conscription, the time of draft has changed from autumn and winter to summer and autumn. The changing has made great convenient for those who have the education background of senior high school and college. This is very helpful for our army to increase the proportion of highly educated soldiers, which can do benefit to the informatization and modernization of P.L.A. and lay a foundation to promote soldiers’ combat capacity. However, individual’s physical and psychological state will change with the time and the education background of recruits which has a great effect on person’s mental development has changed a lot compared with the previous. So the recruits’ ability of adjustment to environment and interpersonal communication may have changed. Unfamiliar environments are stressors. So it is very necessary to investigate the mental state of new soldiers recruited in summer and autumn. Then design corresponding psychology intervention methods according to the investigation results to help recruits adjust to the environment as quickly as possible. Besides, soldiers always stay in a environment of close, strict and monotonous and they usually have to handle tasks which are urgent, difficult and dangerous. All these things will make soldiers can’t adjust to environment effectively and mental stressors will appear in some circumstances. These adverse reactions will not only affect recruits’ mental health, but also lead to training-related injury, which will do harm to soldiers physical health and affect the generation of combat capacity of our army. So this study aimed for innovate new mental intervention methods and study its effect on recruits’ mental health and training-related injury. Methods:Experiment one:we screened 191 soldiers as the subjects. After 3 weeks joining the army, they would fulfill the test tables as the first basic investigation, including Symptom Checklist 90 and basic information questionnaire. After the first investigation, subjects were divided into four teams randomly which were marked A, B, C and D. In this study, Team A was the control group, while the Team B, C and D were the experimental groups. All the subjects took part in the same regular training program.And subjects in B and D would receive the class about psychological heath per week for one month while those who were in B and D would receive the class about psychological resilience training. Team A was did not received any classes. One month later,comparisons would be made among the four teams to evaluate the effectiveness of different psychological interventions on the problem found in the first investigation.Experiment two:In this study, we investigated the basic information of 280 soldiers. After that, 280 soldiers were divided into two groups which were marked Team A and Team B at random. Then we draw blood from 280 new soldiers and 96 old soldiers for the first time and detected and compared the concentration of CORT and serum β-endorphin. In the process of the study, All the subjects took part in the same regular training program. And subjects in B would receive the class about mental excise after they learned tactical operation in the training ground. In the mid-term examination, soldiers in Team A and Team B took part in some programs including 400 m obstacle training, rangpractice training, bombdropping training and so on. After the training, we draw blood from subjects in Team A and Team B and maintained separately. At last, we detected and compared the concentration of CORT and serum β-endorphin between subjects in Team A and Team B. Results:Experiment one:① It was found that interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety and fear were the main problems of the 191 new soldiers in the first experiment. ② In terms of education background, the soldiers with senior high school education background had higher scores in sensitivity, anxiety and fear than the soldiers with secondary specialized and college education background, and the difference had the statistical difference.③ In terms of living surroundings, the subjects from countryside had lower scores in interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety and fear than those from cities and it was statistically significant.④ Soldiers from only one child family got higher scores in interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety and fear than those from more-than-one children family. And it was statistically significant.⑤ After intervention, it had statistical significance in sensitivity, anxiety and fear among the four groups.⑥ After intervention, there was no statistical significance between subjects in Team A and Team B. Subjects in Team B got a higher score than subjects in Team C, and Subjects in Team C got a higher score than subjects in Team D. And they were statistically significant.⑦ After intervention, it had statistical significance in anxiety between Team A and Team B, Team B and Team C, Team C and Team D.⑧After intervention, it had statistical significance in fear between Team A and Team B, Team B and Team C, Team C and Team D.Experiment 二:① It was found that the concentration of CORT and serum β-endorphin in new soldiers blood is higher than that in old soldiers blood and it was statistically significant.② After detecting and comparing the concentration of CORT and serum β-endorphin in the blood drawn in second time, we found that the concentration of CORT and serum β-endorphin from the subjects in Team B is lower than that in Team A, and it was statistically significant. ③ After detecting and comparing the concentration of CORT and serum β-endorphin in the subjects in different education background in Team B, we found that the concentration of CORT and serum β-endorphin in subjects of college education background is higher than that in subjects with senior high school education background, but the difference was no statistical significant. The concentration of CORT and serum β-endorphin in subjects of senior high school education background is higher than that in subjects with secondary specialized school education background, and it was statistically significant. ④ 46 soldiers in Team A were found with ankle sprains after mid-term examination training, the incidence rate of it was 26.4%. 39 soldiers in Team A were found with acute muscle strain, the incidence rate of it was 27.9%. 19 soldiers in Team A were found with ankle sprains after mid-term examination training, the incidence rate of it was 15.6%. 16 soldiers in Team A were found with acute muscle strains, the incidence rate of it was 13.1%. The difference of the incidence rate on ankle sprains and acute muscle strains between Team A and Team B was statistically significant. Conclusions:Experiment one:① It was found that recruits got a higher score on interpersonal sensitivity than the norm of soldiers and the difference was statistically significant. It implied that new soldiers have not enough experience to handle with interpersonal communication problem when they were faced with people from different backgrounds, so we can improve the situation by teaching them the basic knowledge of interpersonal communication and group training lessons.② It was found that recruits got a higher score on anxiety and fear than the norm of soldiers and the difference was statistically significant. So we also had to adapt corresponding methods to help soldiers cope with anxiety and fear problem.③ Education background was the important factor on affecting the interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety and fear of soldiers. The soldiers with senior high school education background had higher scores in sensitivity, anxiety and fear than the soldiers with secondary specialized and college education background, it implied that we should pay more attention to soldiers with senior high school education background. Tasks that could improve person’s confidence can be arranged for them to strengthen their confidence. ④ The soldiers from one child family got higher scores in sensitivity, anxiety and fear than the soldiers from more-than-one children family, so we can help soldiers from one child family with teaching them the knowledge of interpersonal communication and help them live a sound life at the beginning of the soldier career. ⑤ Psychological intervention could help soldiers to improve the ability on interpersonal communication and to cope with the matters and moods of anxiety and fear. So we could choose the best method to affect soldiers mental state in the long run. In our study, we found that circulatory psychology intervention methods which was based on the basic knowledge of psychology and behavior training was effective in coping with different undesirable mental state. And it was worth adopting by us.Experiment two:① In this study, we found that severe stress reaction would occur to soldiers during the military training period. And the degree of the stress reaction will be reduced after psychological intervention. So we can choose the best mental intervention method to help soldiers to reduce stress reaction.② The extent of the effect brought by mental exercise was different in soldiers with different education background, it was more effective in subjects with the education background of college and senior high school than subjects with the education background of secondary specialized education background. So with more and more highly educated people joining the army, we could apply the mental exercise method to help soldiers reduce the stress reaction. ③ The mental exercise method can not only help reduce the stress reaction,but also reduce the incidence rate of the training-related injury. So it had important military effects. |
