Development of a Reserve-Specific Stress Inventory.

PB2002108203

Publication Date	1998
Page Count	96
Abstract	The importance of the U.S. Army Reserve has been increasingly recognized in this country. In addition to their 'citizen soldier' role, reservists usually hold primary civilian jobs or attend school (or both). This study is a major component of a research program that is concerned with improving our understanding of the association between multiple work and family roles and reservists' health. It builds on work that has addressed the combined impact of work and family role burdens on mental and physical health of civilians and research on the well being of reservists in the face of activation. Additionally, in a review of the literature regarding health and physical readiness of Army Reservists, Wynd and Ryan-Wenger (1998) posed several research issues regarding health risk and health promoting behaviors, including the need for a better understanding of the interpersonal, situational, and workplace factors that may contribute to health. Occupational stress models describe how an individual's multiple roles and resources influence health factors that are required to perform as a productive, well trained service member. The conceptual model for this study is based on this framework. According to such models, the effects of stressors on outcomes are moderated by levels of internal and external resources.
