Military service members are frequently exposed to high-stress situations that profoundly impact both their psychological and physiological health. Understanding the interplay between stress and its multifaceted impacts is crucial for designing targeted interventions to optimize the health and performance of this population. This study investigated the relationships among psychological stress, psychological resilience, attention biases (attention to positive information, API; attention to negative information, ANI), emotional regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal, CR; expression inhibition, EI), and key physiological markers, including hemoglobin (HGB) levels and red cell distribution width (RDW), in a sample of 673 male Chinese military personnel. The results revealed significant associations between psychological stress and attention biases and emotional regulation strategies, with direct effects for physiological markers such as HGB and RDW. Notably, EI emerged as a complex mediator, significantly reducing RDW despite increased psychological stress. These findings highlight the imperative to incorporate comprehensive stress management into military training programs, thereby enhancing health and operational readiness of service members in high-stress contexts.
军人经常面临高度紧张的情况，这对他们的心理和生理健康都有深远影响。了解压力及其多方面影响之间的相互作用，对于设计有针对性的干预措施以优化这一人群的健康和表现至关重要。本研究调查了673名中国男性军人样本中心理压力、心理复原力、注意力偏差（对积极信息的关注，API；对消极信息的关注，ANI）、情绪调节策略（认知重评，CR；表达抑制，EI）以及关键生理指标（包括血红蛋白（HGB）水平和红细胞分布宽度（RDW））之间的关系。结果显示心理压力与注意力偏差和情绪调节策略之间存在显著关联，并对HGB和RDW等生理指标产生直接影响。值得注意的是，EI是一个复杂的中介因素，尽管心理压力增加，但它能显著降低RDW。这些发现凸显了将全面的压力管理纳入军事训练计划的必要性，从而提高处于高压力环境中的军人的健康水平和作战准备状态。
