Individuals who witness team members exhibiting symptoms of an acute stress reaction (ASR) in the middle of a high-stress operational event may be negatively affected; ASR-related training may moderate this impact. In the present study, 560 Israeli soldiers were surveyed about ASR exposure, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, public stigma, and whether they had received ASR-related training. This training, called YaHaLOM, is a Hebrew acronym that outlines steps for managing ASR in team members. Controlling for combat exposure, greater exposure to ASR symptoms was associated with more overall PTSD symptoms, PTSD cluster symptoms, and public stigma. YaHaLOM training buffered these relationships for PTSD, intrusion and avoidance symptoms, and public stigma. The findings suggest that such training may help teams in high-risk occupations better manage ASR exposure.
个体在高压力作战事件中目睹团队成员表现出急性应激反应（ASR）的症状，可能会受到负面影响；与 ASR 相关的培训可能会减轻这种影响。在本研究中，对 560 名以色列士兵进行了调查，调查内容包括 ASR 暴露、创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状、公众污名化以及他们是否接受过 ASR 相关培训。这项名为 YaHaLOM 的培训是一个希伯来语缩写，概述了管理团队成员 ASR 的步骤。在控制战斗暴露的情况下，更多地暴露于 ASR 症状与更多的总体 PTSD 症状、PTSD 簇症状和公众污名化相关。YaHaLOM 培训缓冲了 PTSD、入侵和回避症状以及公众污名化的这些关系。研究结果表明，这种培训可能有助于高风险职业的团队更好地管理 ASR 暴露。
