1990 Mary J. Nielubowicz Award winner. Observations on stress reactions as seen in Naval Reserve Fleet Hospital training evolutions.
Intense field medical exercises, survival and weapons training are of vital importance to the Naval Reserve Fleet Hospital. This training is, of necessity, stressful and chaotic in order to simulate combat conditions. It must be planned that way to be realistic. We must do this to test our ability to function in abnormal situations. Yet, we must be sensitive to the needs of our shipmates. We need to provide support and understanding so that all can successfully carry the burdens placed upon them. Education, stress debriefings, and leadership skills may answer this need.
