This paper highlights the topic of combat-related acute stress reactions (ASRs) in service members. Specifically, we contrast ASRs with related psychiatric conditions, report the estimated prevalence of ASRs for soldiers deployed to combat, and discuss how team members can effectively respond to these reactions.
Although not regarded as a clinical disorder, ASRs can have a significant impact on high-risk occupations like the military in which impaired functioning can imperil team members and others. Based on self-report, 17.2% of soldiers who have deployed to combat report having experienced a possible ASR. To our knowledge, this is the first such prevalence estimate. The prevalence of ASRs underscores the need for improved prevention, management, and recovery strategies. Peer-based intervention protocols such as iCOVER may provide a useful starting point to address ASRs in team members.
本文强调了与战斗相关的急性应激反应（ASR）在现役军人中的主题。具体来说，我们将 ASR 与相关精神疾病进行对比，报告部署到战斗中的士兵的 ASR 估计患病率，并讨论团队成员如何有效地应对这些反应。
虽然 ASR 不被视为一种临床疾病，但它会对军队等高风险职业产生重大影响，因为功能受损可能会危及团队成员和其他人。根据自我报告，17.2%部署到战斗的士兵报告经历过可能的 ASR。据我们所知，这是第一个此类患病率估计。ASR 的患病率突出表明需要改进预防、管理和恢复策略。基于同伴的干预协议，如 iCOVER，可能为解决团队成员中的 ASR 提供一个有用的起点。
