Psykisk Stress i Samband med Internationella Insaatser. En Oeversiktlig Beskrivning av Probelmomradet (Mental Stress Related to Peacekeeping Missions. A Survey of the Problem Area).

摘要

Soldiers and other groups of personnel in peacekeeping missions are at risk of getting mentally injured during their service abroad. Conditions including threats against one's own, or the groups, life or security, the suffering of other people and boredom in combination with state of alert create an environment that demand planning and readiness. Carefully prepared countermeasures help the personnel to cope with different kinds of situations without getting mental damages. In that Sweden is prepared to contribute with personnel in conflicts abroad, is there a demand for knowledge and resources in order to cope with this field. The Swedish Armed Forces, National Police Board and National Rescue Services Board have liability due to their personnel during international service. This report presents a survey of the authorities program (2000) for handling mental stress during international missions. The surveys, grouped into before, during and after a mission show great similarities. Differences between the complete programs and how they function in practice have however not been studied.
