“…The psychometric surveys were administered before the course, on day 3 and on conclusion on day 6 to assess changes in attitudes, resilience, cohesion, and stress-related psychological variables. The survey questions (online supplementary table 2) were based on published normative scales 15–21. Analyses conducted on the entire sample showed statistically significant increases in combat and unit readiness, unit and vertical cohesion, and team communication and leadership quality.…”

BackgroundSurgical trauma care requires excellent multidisciplinary team skills and communication to ensure the highest patient survival rate. This study investigated the effects of Hyper-realistic immersive surgical team training to improve individual and team performance. A Hyper-realistic surgical training environment is defined as having a high degree of fidelity in the replication of battlefield conditions in a training environment, so participants willingly suspend disbelief that they become totally immersed and eventually stress inoculated in a way that can be measured physiologically.MethodsSix multispecialty member US Navy Fleet Surgical/US Army Forward Surgical Teams (total n=99 evaluations) underwent a 6-day surgical training simulation using movie industry special effects and role players wearing the Human Worn Surgical Simulator (Cut Suit). The teams were immersed in trauma care scenarios requiring multiple complex interventions and decision making in a realistic, fast-paced, intensive combat trauma environment.ResultsHyper-realistic immersive simulation training enhanced performance between multidisciplinary healthcare team members. Key efficacy quantitative measurements for the same simulation presented on day 1 compared with day 6 showed a reduction in resuscitation time from 24 minutes to 14 minutes and critical error decrease from 5 to 1. Written test scores improved an average of 21% (Medical Doctors 11%, Registered Nurses 25%, and Corpsman/Medics 26%). Longitudinal psychometric survey results showed statistically significant increases in unit readiness (17%), combat readiness (12%), leadership quality (7%), vertical cohesion (7%), unit cohesion (5%), and team communication (3%). An analysis of salivary cortisol and amylase physiologic biomarkers indicated an adaptive response to the realistic environment and a reduction in overall team stress during performance evaluations.ConclusionsHyper-realistic immersive simulation training scenarios can be a basis for improved military and civilian trauma training.Level of evidenceLevel III.

“…Resilience to the most stressful events experienced by participants is measured by the 4-item Response to Stressful Events Scale (RSES-4; [51]. The RSES-4 is a brief self-report resilience measure that was developed from the 22-item Response to Stressful Events Scale (RSES-22; [52].…”

“…The RSES-4 is a brief self-report resilience measure that was developed from the 22-item Response to Stressful Events Scale (RSES-22; [52]. Construct validity is supported by a strong correlation with the RSES-22 ( r = 0.90), as well as acceptable correlations ( r = 0.29–0.39) with measures of burnout and distress [51].…”

Many active duty service members suffer from major depressive disorder (MDD). Although traditional treatments exist, alternative approaches may also be effective in treating depressive symptoms. Previous research has shown that physical activity has significant positive effects on depression symptoms in individuals with MDD, and that these benefits may be enhanced when physical activity occurs in a natural environment. Even though physical activity (i.e., hiking, walking) in natural environments has been shown to reduce depressive symptoms, water-based activity occurring in a natural environment (e.g., surfing) may produce even greater improvements in depressive symptoms. We detail an ongoing randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the efficacy of surf therapy and hike therapy with respect to immediate and longer-term psychological, physical, and functional outcomes in active duty service members with MDD. We describe the methodological development of this RCT evaluating novel treatment approaches and discuss considerations for evaluating physical activity interventions in a naturalistic setting.

“…Scholars from many disciplines including nursing have utilized quantitative screening tools to establish the presence or absence of resilience (De La Rosa, Webb-Murphy, & Johnston, 2016;Dodd, Driver, Warren, Riggs, & Clark, 2015;Hemington et al, 2017;Jeste et al, 2013;Mache, Vitzthum, Wanke, Klapp, & Danzer, 2014;McKibbin et al, 2016;Scoloveno, 2015) Scale. The pillars of the resilience research community identified resilience as an adaptive life process (Bonanno, 2004;Garmezy, 1971;Masten, 2001;Ungar, 2004).…”

Resilience is a phenomenon discussed by scholars in many disciplines; it holds similar definitions across the human, social, and physical sciences. It is important to understand the phenomenon from a variety of disciplines. Therefore, the author of this article reviews the existing literature on resilience from the disciplines of psychology, sociology, philosophy, education, and nursing. The three themes that emerged from a thorough review of the existing literature were (a) hardiness strengthens the ability to harness resources, (b) regulatory flexibility fosters positive functioning, and (c) challenges enhance the ability to rebound.
