Stress Management Training programs are increasingly being adopted in the military field for resilience empowerment and primary stress prevention. In the last several years, advanced technologies (virtual reality in particular) have been integrated in order to develop more innovative and effective stress training programs for military personnel, including soldiers, pilots, and other aircrew professionals. This systematic review describes experimental studies that have been conducted in recent years to test the effectiveness of virtual reality-based Stress Management Training programs developed for military personnel. This promising state-of-the-art technology has the potential to be a successful new approach in empowering soldiers and increasing their resilience to stress.
To provide an overview from 2001 to 2016 of the application of virtual reality for Stress Management Training programs developed for the military, a computer-based search for relevant publications was performed in several databases. Databases used in the search were PsycINFO, Web of Science (Web of Knowledge), PubMed, and Medline. The search string was: ("Virtual Reality") AND ("Military") AND ["Stress Training" OR ("Stress Management")].
There were 14 studies that met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review.
The main observation to be drawn from this review is that virtual reality can provide interactive Stress Management Training to decrease levels of perceived stress and negative affect in military personnel. This technology appears to be a promising tool for assessing individuals' resilience to stress and for identifying the impact that stress can have on physiological reactivity and performance.Pallavicini F, Argenton L, Toniazzi N, Aceti L, Mantovani F.

压力管理培训项目在军事领域越来越多地被采用，以增强适应力和进行初级压力预防。在过去几年中，先进技术（尤其是虚拟现实）已被整合进来，以便为军事人员（包括士兵、飞行员和其他空勤专业人员）开发更具创新性和有效性的压力培训项目。本系统评价描述了近年来为测试针对军事人员开发的基于虚拟现实的压力管理培训项目的有效性而进行的实验研究。这种有前景的先进技术有可能成为增强士兵能力和提高其压力适应力的一种成功新方法。
为了概述2001年至2016年虚拟现实在为军队开发的压力管理培训项目中的应用，在多个数据库中进行了基于计算机的相关出版物搜索。搜索中使用的数据库有PsycINFO、科学网（知识网）、PubMed和Medline。搜索字符串为：（“虚拟现实”） AND （“军事”） AND [“压力培训” OR （“压力管理”）]。
有14项研究符合纳入标准并被纳入本评价。
从本评价中得出的主要观察结果是，虚拟现实可以提供交互式压力管理培训，以降低军事人员的感知压力水平和负面影响。这项技术似乎是评估个体压力适应力以及确定压力对生理反应和表现可能产生的影响的一种有前景的工具。
