Abstract (516 Views)
Introduction: The military profession is considered one of the most stressful due to constant exposure to stressful situations, life-threatening conditions, long operational missions, and frequent separations from family. These circumstances can lead to psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder in military personnel. However, not all individuals experience psychological trauma when exposed to these pressures, and many military personnel have the ability to successfully adapt to difficult situations. One of the most important protective factors in this regard is psychological resilience. Resilience refers to an individual’s ability to adapt effectively to stressful situations, maintain optimal psychological functioning, and return to balance after traumatic events. The aim of this study was to review the validity of psychological resilience in military personnel and to examine its influencing factors, measurement methods, and interventions.
Conclusion: Resilience in military personnel is influenced by multilevel factors, including individual factors (self-efficacy, optimism, emotion regulation skills, and coping strategies), interpersonal and social factors (social support and unit cohesion), and organizational factors (leadership style, organizational culture, and institutional support). Various tools have also been used to measure resilience, including the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Adult Resilience Scale, the Brief Resilience Scale, and the Adult Resilience Measure.
