Students in military environments often face unique pressures and stressors. This study aimed to assess the levels of aggression and the coping strategies employed under stressful conditions among students at Aja University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran.
This descriptive-analytical study was conducted during the first half of 2023 on 314 students from a military university. A purposeful, criterion-based sampling method was used. Data were collected using three standardized instruments: the Aggression Questionnaire by Eysenck and Glenn Wilson (1975), the Stress Coping Strategies Questionnaire by Endler and Parker (1990), and a demographic information questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (Version 21), with a significance level set at < 0.05 for all tests.
The study revealed that over 12% of the students exhibited high levels of aggression. The majority of participants (61.5%) employed task-oriented coping strategies. Statistically significant relationships were found between aggression and several variables, including gender, academic semester, concurrent employment, a history of depression, and the use of tobacco and alcohol. No significant associations were observed between aggression and factors such as age, marital status, field of study, place of residence, or history of acute or chronic illness. Regarding coping strategies, students primarily relied on task-oriented coping (61.5%), followed by emotion-oriented coping (24.8%) and avoidance-oriented coping (10.2%). Task-oriented coping was significantly associated with a history of antidepressant use. Emotion-oriented coping correlated significantly with academic semester, a history of depression, chronic physical illness, and the use of alcohol or tobacco. Avoidance-oriented coping was significantly associated with gender, place of residence, a history of depression, and the use of alcohol or tobacco.
The average aggression score among students was moderate. Given the demanding military environment of their education, there is a clear need to address aggression through targeted interventions. Structured anger management workshops and training programs are recommended to mitigate aggressive behavior and promote healthier coping mechanisms.
军事环境中的学生常常面临独特的压力和应激源。本研究旨在评估伊朗德黑兰阿贾医科大学学生在压力条件下的攻击水平及所采用的应对策略。
本描述性分析研究于2023年上半年对一所军事大学的314名学生进行。采用了有目的、基于标准的抽样方法。使用三种标准化工具收集数据：艾森克和格伦·威尔逊（1975年）编制的攻击问卷、恩德勒和帕克（1990年）编制的压力应对策略问卷以及一份人口统计学信息问卷。使用SPSS软件（版本21）进行统计分析，所有检验的显著性水平设定为<0.05。
研究表明，超过12%的学生表现出高水平的攻击行为。大多数参与者（61.5%）采用任务导向型应对策略。在攻击行为与几个变量之间发现了具有统计学意义的关系，这些变量包括性别、学术学期、兼职工作、抑郁症病史以及烟草和酒精的使用情况。在攻击行为与年龄、婚姻状况、研究领域、居住地点或急性或慢性疾病病史等因素之间未观察到显著关联。关于应对策略，学生主要依赖任务导向型应对（61.5%），其次是情绪导向型应对（24.8%）和回避导向型应对（10.2%）。任务导向型应对与抗抑郁药物使用史显著相关。情绪导向型应对与学术学期、抑郁症病史、慢性身体疾病以及酒精或烟草的使用显著相关。回避导向型应对与性别、居住地点、抑郁症病史以及酒精或烟草的使用显著相关。
学生的平均攻击得分处于中等水平。鉴于他们所处的要求严苛的军事教育环境，显然需要通过有针对性的干预来解决攻击问题。建议举办结构化的愤怒管理工作坊和培训项目，以减轻攻击行为并促进更健康的应对机制。
