驻岛礁某部军人社会支持与人格、心理健康的关系

Relationship of social support, personality and mental health in military personnel stationed on island

目的:评估驻岛礁军人的社会支持状况及一般特点,分析社会支持、人格、心理健康三者之间的相互关系和影响. 方法:使用领悟社会支持量表 (PSSS),症状自评量表(SCL 90),艾森克个性问卷 (EPQ)对 203名驻岛礁军人进行问卷调查,并与 396名驻陆地军人进行比较. 结果:驻岛礁军人的社会支持状况显著差于驻陆地军人 (P<0. 05 );三种不同社会支持程度的军人除恐怖因子外,在所有症状因子上都有明显差异(P<0. 05);其EPQ的内外向 (E)、神经质 (N)维度得分也存在差异(P<0. 05),个体的社会支持水平越高,心理健康状况越好,且其N得分更低,E得分更高;社会支持状况与SCL 90的大部分症状因子之间呈显著的负相关,与EPQ E分呈显著的正相关(r=0. 322),与EPQ N分无显著的相关关系. 结论:社会支持对驻岛礁军人的心理健康发挥着重要的维护作用;人格的E维度可能是影响他们获取、利用和感受社会支持重要原因.

AIM: To evaluate the characteristics of the social support, and to analyze the relationship between social support, personality and mental health in the military personnel stationed on islands. METHODS: Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) were used to investigate 203 military personnel stationed on islands, and 396 military personnel stationed on land investigated with the same questionnaire were used as control. RESULTS: The social support of the military personnel stationed on islands was significantly poorer than that of the military personnel stationed on land (P<0.05). Significant difference was found in all the symptom factors except the panic factor at the three social support levels in the military personnel investigated (P<0.05). Significant difference was found by EPQ-E and EPQ-N (P<0.05). The higher the social support, the better the mental health. The lower the score of EPQ-N, the higher the score of EPQ-E. There was negative correlation between the social support and most factors of SCL-90. The social support had significant positive correlation with EPQ-E (r=0.322), but no significant correlation with EPQ-N. CONCLUSION: Social support plays an important role in mental health. The extravert or introvert personality has close relation to acquisition, utilization and perception of the social support, which may be one of the major factors that affect the social support level.
