Brief Summary: The Stress Resilience Training System SRTS program is a stress reduction and resilience building system that blends cognitive training to anticipate the effects of stress with advanced biofeedback to mitigate stress effects and aftereffects using a game-based learning framework on an iPad platform

The proposed study will evaluate the effectiveness of the SRTS program at reducing perceived stress PTSD symptoms depression anxiety sleep quality coping attrition and classoperational performance among United States Navy service members
Detailed Description: Military operations and training situations present many physical and psychological challenges for service members to adapt to and overcome The challenges of these changing conditions necessitate having to cope with stress which is seen as the negative perceptions feelings and emotions that manifest from the subjective physical andor mental strain on life processes In addition service members are returning from deployments having gone through traumatic experiences that can develop into posttraumatic stress disorder PTSD depression or other serious conditions

In an increasing number of military personnel the adverse effects of service and particularly of stressful combat exposure are significant long lasting and possibly fatal Most stress research is focused on treatment but because stress effects are liable to appear years after exposure it is imperative that methodologies be developed to mitigate the adverse effects of military-related stress and prevent its post-exposure effects

It has long been accepted that warfighters adapt to combat stress after the first few experiences and that training can help duplicate this process with recent studies showing that experienced military personnel are able to control and even utilize stress productively A key part of what experienced personnel learn is self-awareness of their stress state and self-regulation of stress energy in order to maintain or even improve performance These skills can be greatly enhanced by combining cognitive learning methodologies grounded in learning theory and biofeedback techniques based on Heart Rate Variability HRV with innovative simulation and game-based training tools
