          Abstract

          RESUMEN Antecedentes: La influencia que los despliegues en operaciones militares tienen sobre la salud mental y el bienestar de los militares desplegados, ha sido siempre un tema de interés, que goza de bastante evidencia empírica. Algunas de las variables abordadas en el estudio de dicha influencia, han sido: el liderazgo y la moral. Objetivos: el presente estudio tendrá un triple objetivo. Por un lado, se analizará el efecto del Liderazgo Auténtico en el Estado Emocional de los soldados, durante un despliegue militar en misión de paz. Por otro, se observa si existe algún tipo de mediación del nivel de Moral, en la relación del liderazgo con el tipo de emocionalidad. Además, se observará si la acumulación de estrés durante el desarrollo de la misión afecta de algún modo a las relaciones planteadas anteriormente. Método: se recopilaron datos de 150 militares en el primer y quinto mes de misión, utilizando los cuestionarios ALQ, MORAL y PANAS; se utilizaron análisis de regresión, mediación y t-student para la comprobación de las hipótesis. Resultados: se ha confirmado la relación entre el Liderazgo Auténtico con el Estado Emocional, así como el efecto mediador de la Moral en las anteriores relaciones cuando las emociones son positivas. Se descartó en este estudio que hubiera diferencias significativas entre los datos del inicio y final de la misión. Conclusiones: el Liderazgo Auténtico se consolida como un modelo de gran relevancia en entornos militares, que va de la mano de la Moral en el beneficio del bienestar emocional de los militares desplegados.

          SUMMARY Background: The influence of military operations on the mental health and well-being of the personnel deployed, has always been a topic of interest, supported by considerable empirical evidence. Some of the variables related with such influence have been leadership and morale. Objectives: this study will have a triple objective. On the one hand, the effect of Authentic Leadership on the Emotional State of soldiers will be analyzed during a peacekeeping mission. On the other hand, any type of mediation from the Moral level in the relationship of leadership with the type of emotionality will be observed. In addition, this study will check the accumulation of stress during the development of the mission affects in any way the previous mentioned relationships. Method: data were collected from 150 military ones, in the first and fifth months of the mission, using the ALQ, MORAL and PANAS questionnaires; Regression, mediation and t-student analysis were used to test the hypotheses. Results: the relationship between Authentic Leadership and the Emotional State was confirmed, as well as the mediating effect of Moral on previous variables when emotions were positive. No significant differences between the data at the beginning and end of the mission were found. Conclusions: Authentic Leadership is consolidated as a model of great relevance in military environments, which goes hand in hand with Moral, in benefit of the emotional well-being of military deployed personnel.

            Prevalence of mental health problems and functional impairment among active component and National Guard soldiers 3 and 12 months following combat in Iraq.

            A growing body of literature has demonstrated the association of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan with postdeployment mental health problems, particularly posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. However, studies have shown varying prevalence rates of these disorders based on different case definitions and have not assessed functional impairment, alcohol misuse, or aggressive behavior as comorbid factors occurring with PTSD and depression. To (1) examine the prevalence rates of depression and PTSD using several case definitions including functional impairment, (2) determine the comorbidity of alcohol misuse or aggressive behaviors with depression or PTSD, and (3) compare rates between Active Component and National Guard soldiers at the 3- and 12-month time points following their deployment to Iraq. Population-based, cross-sectional study. United States Army posts and National Guard armories. A total of 18 305 US Army soldiers from 4 Active Component and 2 National Guard infantry brigade combat teams. Between 2004 and 2007, anonymous mental health surveys were collected at 3 and 12 months following deployment. Current PTSD, depression, functional impairment, alcohol misuse, and aggressive behavior. Prevalence rates for PTSD or depression with serious functional impairment ranged between 8.5% and 14.0%, with some impairment between 23.2% and 31.1%. Alcohol misuse or aggressive behavior comorbidity was present in approximately half of the cases. Rates remained stable for the Active Component soldiers but increased across all case definitions from the 3- to 12-month time point for National Guard soldiers. The prevalence rates of PTSD and depression after returning from combat ranged from 9% to 31% depending on the level of functional impairment reported. The high comorbidity with alcohol misuse and aggression highlights the need for comprehensive postdeployment screening. Persistent or increased prevalence rates at 12 months compared with 3 months postdeployment illustrate the persistent effects of war zone service and provide important data to guide postdeployment care.
