The effectiveness of technology-enhanced relaxation techniques for military medical warriors

Melba C Stetz et al. Mil Med. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

Combat zones can be very stressful for those in the area. Even in the battlefield, military medical personnel are expected to save others, while also staying alive. In this study, half of a sample of deployed military medical warriors (total n = 60) participated in technology-assisted relaxation training. Learning relaxation skills with a video clip of virtual reality relaxing scenes showed a statistically significant impact on the anxiety levels of the Experimental Group.
