Systematic evaluation of psychological status of Chinese surface ship troops based on SCL-90
Objective Based on the results of symptom checklist 90(SCL-90),the mental health status and development trends of Chinese surface ship troops were explored,so as to provide reference for future investigation and research on SCL-90 mental health assessment of surface ship troops.Methods The Review Manager 5.3 software was used to organize,analyze and systematically evaluate the investigation and research on SCL-90 related to Chinese surface ship officers and soldiers in databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),VIP,and Wanfang since their establishment.Results A total of 46 literatures and 68 groups were included,with a total of 16 107 officers and soldiers from surface ship forces.The results of meta-analysis showed that compared to the 2016 SCL-90 military norm,the combined effect size[MD(95%CI)]of the somatization factor in surface ship officers and soldiers was 0.14(0.09-0.18),forcing factor was 0.13(0.07-0.18),interpersonal sensitivity factor was 0.18(0.12-0.24),depression factor was 0.16(0.10-0.21),anxiety factor was 0.12(0.07-0.16),hostility factor was 0.15(0.11-0.19),terror factor was 0.07(0.03-0.11),paranoia factor was 0.17(0.12-0.23),and psychosis factor was 0.10(0.06-0.14)(all P<0.01).At the same time,the subgroup analysis results of each outcome index in different years showed that the d value of the 1991-2000 subgroup was the highest,followed by the 2001-2010 subgroup,while there was no significant difference between the 2011-2020 subgroup and the 2016 SCL-90 military norm.Conclusion Based on the SCL-90 results,the overall mental health status of officers and soldiers in surface ship forces was significantly lower than the 2016 SCL-90 military norm.As the survey years increased year by year,the SCL-90 score gradually declined,and there was no statistically significant difference between them and the 2016 SCL-90 military norm between 2011 and 2020.The mental health level of officers and soldiers in surface ship forces was improving year by year.
