摘要

目的

探讨高原军人的抑郁症状在时间维度上的变化趋势和规律，以及耐挫、人口学等因素与高原军人抑郁症状严重程度的关系。

方法

于2016年8月、2017年8月、2018年8月，采用自行编制的人口学资料调查表、流调中心抑郁量表中国修订版、军人心理素质量表对整群抽取的常驻我国青藏线某部的212名高原军人进行3次团体测评。运用2016年的耐挫得分、2017年的人口学资料情况对2018年的抑郁症状得分进行因果关系的预测。

结果

高原军人抑郁症状2016~2018年得分分别为(13.61±7.62)、(13.65±6.36)、(21.87±10.61)分，均显著高于我国青年常模(

0.05)；抑郁症状发生率显著高于中国军人(

0.01)；抑郁症状随驻守时间延长呈明显加重趋势(

0.01)。不同年龄和军龄对抑郁症状变化的影响有统计学意义(

0.05)。抑郁症状得分与年龄、军龄和耐挫呈显著负相关(

=-0.245~-0.287，

0.001)。调节效应分析显示，年龄能调节耐挫与抑郁症状之间的关系(

=-1.768，

0.05)，共解释抑郁症状变异率的17.1%。

结论

高原军人具有较高的抑郁发生率和较重的抑郁症状。年龄、军龄、耐挫是高原军人抑郁症状的重要影响因素。年龄能调节高原军人抑郁症状与耐挫的关系，耐挫素质的训练可有效预防高原军人抑郁。

Abstract

Objective

To explore the trend and the pattern of temporal changes of depressive symptoms and the association of mental toughness and demographic characteristics with the severity of depression in military personnel serving in high-altitude regions.

Methods

In August of 2016

2017 and 2018

we conducted 3 group assessments of 212 military personnel serving in high-altitude regions along the Qinghai-Tibet Supply Line by cluster sampling using a self-designed demographic data questionnaire

Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale and Mental Quality Questionnaire for Armymen. The scores for mental toughness of the subjects in the 2016 assessment and the demographic data collected in 2017 were used to predict the scores of depressive symptoms of the subjects in 2018.

Results

In the years of 2016

2017

and 2018

the military personnel had mean depression symptom scores of 13.61±7.62

13.65±6.36 and 21.87±10.61

respectively

significantly higher than the national norms for Chinese youth (

0.05). The incidence of depressive symptoms was significantly higher in these military personnel than the norm in Chinese soldiers (

0.01)

and their depressive symptoms showed a significant trend of aggravation with the extension of military service time (

0.01). Age and the length of military service time significantly affected the depressive symptoms (

0.05); age

time of military service and mental toughness showed significant negative correlations with depressive symptom scores among these individuals (

=-0.245 to -0.287

0.001). Regulatory effect analysis showed that age could modulate the relationship between mental toughness and depressive symptoms (

=-1.768

0.05)

and explained 17.1% of the variance rate of depressive symptoms.

Conclusion

The military personnel serving in high-altitude regions have a high incidence of depression and severe depressive symptoms. Age

time of military service and mental toughness are important factors affecting the depressive symptoms. Age can modulate the relationship between mental toughness and depressive symptoms

and an older age is associated with a better use of mental toughness to prevent depression

suggesting that improving mental toughness can alleviate depressive symptoms in these personnel.
