Assessment of Psychological Hazards and Physiological Stress Reaction Among Military Reserve Cadets

Abstract

Military reserve cadets face significant psychological and physiological challenges due to the dual demands of academic responsibilities and intensive military training. These stressors can influence their mental health and physiological responses, impacting overall well-being and performance. This study aimed to determine the stress levels of cadets using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS), measure physiological stress reactions (BMI, blood pressure, and heart rate), and examine the relationship between stress levels and physiological parameters.
