Abstract

Junior military officers and noncommissioned officers (NCOs) in South Korea are exposed to high levels of occupational and relational stress, placing them at increased risk for depression, burnout, and hazardous drinking. This study examined the effects of a family-based emotional intervention on these psychological outcomes among military personnel. Participants consisted of 59 officers and NCOs who voluntarily enrolled following unit-level recruitment and were assigned to either a treatment group (n = 30) or a comparison group (n = 29) using a preference-based allocation procedure. The treatment group participated in the Thank-You - Sorry - Love (TSL) program, while the comparison group received no intervention. Depression, burnout, and hazardous drinking were assessed at pretest and posttest using validated Korean versions of the PHQ-9, MBI-GS, and AUDIT, respectively. Mixed-design analyses indicated significant time × group interaction effects across outcomes, with participants in the treatment group demonstrating greater reductions over time compared to the comparison group. These findings suggest that family-based emotional interventions may contribute to improvements in psychological well-being and reductions in maladaptive coping behaviors among military personnel.

家庭干预对韩国军官和士官的抑郁、倦怠和危险饮酒的影响。

韩国的初级军官和士官（NCOs）面临着高水平的职业和关系压力，使他们面临更高的抑郁、倦怠和危险饮酒的风险。本研究考察了以家庭为基础的情绪干预对军人这些心理结果的影响。参与者由59名军官和非政府组织组成，他们在单位级招募后自愿注册，并使用基于偏好的分配程序分配到治疗组（n = 30）或对照组（n = 29）。治疗组接受“谢谢-对不起-爱”（TSL）干预，对照组不接受干预。抑郁、倦怠和危险饮酒分别在前测和后测中使用经过验证的韩国版PHQ-9、MBI-GS和AUDIT进行评估。混合设计分析表明，治疗组与对照组相比，随着时间的推移，治疗组的参与者表现出更大的减少。这些发现表明，基于家庭的情绪干预可能有助于改善军人的心理健康状况，减少适应不良的应对行为。
