Abstract
ABSTRACTFeelings of vigor are associated with positive consequences in the work place but these relationships have not yet been assessed in a high-risk occupational context. The current study assessed the relationships between feelings of vigor on physical health symptoms, functional impairment, and depression symptoms among U.S. service members who recently returned from a combat deployment. U.S. service members were asked to complete questionnaires at 2 time points. Significant positive correlations were found between combat experiences and the 3 outcomes. Significant negative correlations were found for feelings of vigor and each outcome. Regression analyses indicated a significant effect for feelings of vigor such that higher feelings of vigor at Time 1 predicted better physical health and fewer depression symptoms at Time 2. There was no significant effect for functional impairment. Results demonstrate the potential importance of maintaining or improving feelings of vigor throughout the work day, especially for those with high risk occupations.
