Psychological and physiological changes during basic, underwater, demolition/SEAL training

Organizational caring as a predictor of good mental health in an operational naval environment.

“…Given the increased risk, it is critical to explore both the clinical factors related to MH issues among service members as well as the factors below the clinical threshold that could develop into future problems. The present study focuses on possible factors that could contribute to result in the onset of MH issues or affect individual resilience (Dell et al, 2022;Ledford et al, 2020Ledford et al, , 2022. In order to help mitigate such stressors, it is important to identify and promote protective factors, as well as reduce barriers (e.g., difficulty getting time off for treatment) to and stigmas (e.g., a concern of being perceived as weak) associated with obtaining MH treatment (Ben-Zeev et al, 2012;Greene-Shortridge et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2011;Michalopoulou et al, 2017;Schreiber & McEnany, 2015).…”

“…Occupational (e.g., combat and intense combat-like training) and environmental stressors (e.g., an austere living environment) can result in the onset of MH issues or affect individual resilience (Dell et al, 2022; Ledford et al, 2020, 2022). In order to help mitigate such stressors, it is important to identify and promote protective factors, as well as reduce barriers (e.g., difficulty getting time off for treatment) to and stigmas (e.g., a concern of being perceived as weak) associated with obtaining MH treatment (Ben-Zeev et al, 2012; Greene-Shortridge et al, 2007; Kim et al, 2011; Michalopoulou et al, 2017; Schreiber & McEnany, 2015).…”
