Characteristics of state-trait anxiety in military personnel in high altitude
To investigate the characteristic of state-trait anxiety in the officers and soldiers stationed at plateau.
Methods
2
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were employed to survey 6 019 officers and soldiers from 45 plateau troops through group survey. The characteristic of state-trait anxiety in the participants were analyzed.
Results
2
① Compared with the male participants
the female ones obtained higher score of trait anxiety (
P
<
0.01). ② The STAI scores were significantly higher in the officers than the soldiers and sergeants (
P
<
0.01). ③ The score of trait anxiety was remarkably higher in the participants over 30 years old soldiers than those younger than 25 years old (
P
<
0.01)
and the scores in the
>
20~30-year-old than the
<
20-year-old (
P
<
0.01). ④ The score of trait anxiety was significantly different in the participants with different length of service (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). The score of those with service length of
>
12 to 16 years and of
>
16 years was higher those with the length of ≤1
>
1~2
>
2~5 and
>
5~8 years respectively (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). ⑤ The scores of state anxiety and trait anxiety were significantly different among those stationed at different altitude levels (
P
<
0.01). Those at altitude level of
<
2 000 m had significantly higher scores of state anxiety and trait anxiety than those at
>
2 500~3 000 m (
P
<
0.01). ⑥ On education levels
the scores of the participants with college level and above were significantly higher than those of senior and junior middle school gro
up (
P
<
0.01). ⑦ The status anxiety score was lower in those from non-single-child family than those from single-child family (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
The officers and soldiers stationed at plateau have significant different characteristics in status and trait anxiety in aspects of gender
