Publication Date	1999
Personal Author	Williams, A.
Page Count	36
Abstract	Recruit training is essential for shaping young men and women's future careers in the Navy. Yet, some recruits exhibit mental health problems during their recruit training, with depression the most common. This research used a nursing stress-adaptation theoretical model which examined what selected predisposing factors, appraisal of stressors, coping resources and coping styles were predictive of responses to Navy recruit training. The investigation used a cross-sectional two-by-two factorial design. The two factors were depression (Depressive symptoms or not) and disposition status (returned to duty or separated) of the recruits. The sample consisted of 443 Navy recruits 200 of whom had experienced depressive symptoms and 243 who were group-matched controls.
