The general research model used is based on the findings of different foreign studies and on data collected in the studies of psychologists employed by the Slovenian Armed Forces. The results gave a quite typical picture of the situation, as already discovered by other researchers (the importance of good preparation, clear tasks, separation from families, etc). Since the participants in the research were not exposed to severe stress inducers, it is difficult to make conclusions about the moderator stress factors. In light of the fact that the researched personal characteristics show a link with psychological well being, we can assume that personal factors are important in coping with stress as well. The activity should be further monitored, the research conducted before the departure to, during and after the return from a misison and as many factors as possible influencing the lives of soldiers in PKOs should be discovered. The desire to "pathologise" participants of peace mission and impose stress therapies on them should be avoided. Although necessary in extreme cases, the majority of work should be done by natural support systems (e.g. family, unit, etc.), good preparations and appropriate care for the soldiersUdeležba vojakov v mirovnih operacijah, še posebej v državah, v katerih se je vojna pravkar končala, predstavlja stresno nalogo. Splošni model raziskave izhaja tako iz ugotovitev različnih tujih raziskav kot iz podatkov, ki so jih pridobili psihologi, zaposleni v Slovenski vojski. Rezultati kažejo značilno sliko razmer, kakršno so odkrili že drugi raziskovalci (pomen dobre priprave, jasnosti naloge, ločenosti od družine itn.). Udeleženci raziskave niso bili izpostavljeni hujšim stresorjem, kar otežuje sklepanje o moderatorskih dejavnikih stresa. Glede na to, da raziskovane osebnostne lastnosti kažejo povezavo s psihičnim blagostanjem, bi lahko domnevali, da so osebnostni dejavniki pomembni tudi pri spoprijemanju s stresom. Dogajanje bo treba spremljati še naprej, opravljati raziskave pred odhodom, med misijo in po vrnitvi ter odkriti čim več dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na življenje vojakov v mirovnih operacijah. Pri tem se moramo izogniti želji, da bi udeležence vnaprej 'patologizirali' ter jim z vsemi sredstvi vsiljevali različne protistresne terapije. V skrajnih primerih so sicer res nujne, vendar morajo večino dela opraviti naravni oporni sistemi (družina, enota ipd.), dobre priprave in ustrezna skrb za vojakeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaMinistrstvo za obrambo RS
