Objective      To investigate the relationships of training fatigue with resilience

personality and mental health in the new students from military universities and colleges.       Methods      Newly Developed Questionnaire for Work Related Fatigue Feelings (WRFFQ)

Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC)

Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Symptom Check

list 90 (SCL-90) were surveyed in 1 798 freshmen (1 579 males and 219 females

with a mean age of 20.54±2.25

ranging from 15 to 27) from 3 military universities and colleges in September 2012.       Results      The overall condition of freshmen’ fatigue status was very good

and the score was 37.01±10.96. The fatigue score was 36.53±10.61 for the males

and 40.48±12.69 for the females

with significant difference between them (

P

0.05). The mental health problems and neuroticism scores were significantly higher

while the resilience and extraversion scores were significantly lower in the high fatigue group than the low group (both

P

0.05). The fatigue scores were positively correlated with the scores of SCL-90 and neuroticism (r=0.724

0.386

P

0.05)

and were negatively correlated with resilience and extraversion (r=-0.296

-0.167

P

0.05).       Conclusion      Mental health problems

resilience and neuroticism significantly predict fatigue status in the freshmen after training. During the training

for some students with low resilience and high neuroticism

attention should be paid to the flexibility of training method in order to reduce the fatigue of students.
