Military social workers have a responsibility to provide early interventions after potentially traumatic events (PTE). Psychological debriefings are an enduring yet controversial early intervention because of the mixed evidence regarding efficacy. Participants in various high-risk occupations favorably rate debriefings as an early intervention after PTE, and many consider debriefings as standard of care after such exposure. Some high-risk occupations continue to voice preference for debriefings, even knowing debriefing is unlikely to prevent negative mental health outcomes. The current research does not provide a rational for why participants favorably rate these interventions or what their attitudes are toward debriefings. Given the demand for early interventions to mitigate negative mental health outcomes after PTE in the military and the preference for debriefings it is important to address this gap. This study examines soldiers' global attitudes toward debriefings and in-theater debriefing experiences assessed immediately post-deployment. This study also examines combat exposure and non-traumatic deployment stressors (NTDS) as critical factors influencing mental health symptoms immediately following a combat deployment.

520 $a Military social workers have a responsibility to provide early interventions after potentially traumatic events (PTE). Psychological debriefings are an enduring yet controversial early intervention because of the mixed evidence regarding efficacy. Participants in various high-risk occupations favorably rate debriefings as an early intervention after PTE, and many consider debriefings as standard of care after such exposure. Some high-risk occupations continue to voice preference for debriefings, even knowing debriefing is unlikely to prevent negative mental health outcomes. The current research does not provide a rational for why participants favorably rate these interventions or what their attitudes are toward debriefings. Given the demand for early interventions to mitigate negative mental health outcomes after PTE in the military and the preference for debriefings it is important to address this gap. This study examines soldiers' global attitudes toward debriefings and in-theater debriefing experiences assessed immediately post-deployment. This study also examines combat exposure and non-traumatic deployment stressors (NTDS) as critical factors influencing mental health symptoms immediately following a combat deployment.
520 $a Existing data from a longitudinal study by Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and a cross-sectional exploratory design were used to examine how global attitudes toward debriefings, debriefing experiences, combat exposure, and NTDS influence posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and depressive symptoms in 2,297 soldiers who had returned from a 12-month combat deployment.
520 $a The final MRA models for PTSS and depressive symptoms had three common independent predictors: NTDS, negative impact of the event debriefed, and helpfulness of a specific debriefing. Combat exposure and rank also predicted PTSS. Female gender also predicted depressive symptoms. NTDS was the strongest independent predictor of symptom severity. This is critical given the ability of military leaders to mitigate NTDS. Additionally, the negative impact of the event debriefed had greater predictive strength than total combat exposure. Helpfulness of a specific debriefing was an inverse predictor of PTSS and depressive symptoms. While global attitudes towards debriefings were not associated with mental health symptoms, soldiers who experienced a debriefing had better attitudes toward debriefings than those who did not.
