Influencing factors and countermeasures of psychological stress disorder in army aviators

Abstract

Army aviation is a modern high-tech branch in the army establishment sequence, and has the advantages of flexible mobility and rapid strikes. However, the army aviators face harsh environments, such as low pressure, lack of oxygen, noise, and vibration during long-term flight missions, and often develop various military stresses, bearing greater physical and mental pressure than ordinary people, which is often more likely to lead to psychological stress disorders, thus seriously affecting the combat effectiveness of the army aviation. In this paper, we mainly introduce a series of psychological stress disorders, such as emotional instability, air discomfort, nervousness, anxiety and depression caused by the special circumstances of army aviation while flying, and put forward corresponding countermeasures on this basis, such as optimizing the psychological selection and training standards of army aviation pilots, strengthening psychological tolerance training, paying special attention to the detection and evaluation of mental health in ordinary times, and regularly conducting psychological consultation, intervention and counseling. These measures are of great significance to promote the mental health of army aviators and prevent the occurrence of psychological stress disorder in future wars. Identifying the influencing factors and countermeasures of psychological stress disorder are essential to improve the operational capacity and combat effectiveness of army aviation force.
