Acute Stress Reaction in Combat: Emerging Evidence and Peer-Based Interventions
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: 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 effecti...

description | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: 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. RECENT FINDINGS: 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. SUMMARY: 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. |
