The correlative analysis of military medical personnel's character and mental health and treatment

Abstract

Objective To discuss the character and coping styles of field medical staffs in military condition. Methods Field tests were conducted on 121 soldiers (observation group) from the field medical center participating in the medical service mission-2014 of Beijing military area command by using symptom self-rating scale , eysenck personality questionnaire and simple coping style questionnaire . A total of 130 cases of active medical personnel (control group) in the hospital were randomly selected for investigation, and the test data of the two groups of military medical personnel were compared and analyzed. Results Under military stress such as military exercises, SCL-90, personality characteristics and coping style scores of medical service personnel were significantly higher than those of normal soldiers in the hospital. The differences in somatization, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, fear and anxiety, and partial psychosis in SCL-90 were statistically significant(P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in temperament, extraversion and neuroticism(P<0.05). Among the coping styles, positive coping and negative coping were both lower than those of soldiers in the hospital, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Person correlation analysis showed that the total mean score of SCL-90 was negatively correlated with positive coping and subjects' tendency to cover up. It is positively correlated with negative coping, psychoticism and neuroticism. Multiple regression analysis showed that the regression coefficients of five factors, including negative coping, positive coping, psychoticism, neuroticism and subjects' tendency to disguise, were statistically significant (P<0.01). Psychoticism and neuroticism were positively correlated with the total mean score of SCL-90, and the tendency of concealment was negatively correlated with the total mean score of SCL-90. Conclusion Under stress conditions such as military exercises, the mental health of soldiers in medical service is closely related to their personality characteristics and processing methods.
