Military service members experience higher incidence of maladaptive military stress responses which may increase their mental health risks. This study reviews the dynamic adaption patterns of military stress responses, from the perspective of symptom trajectory, symptom network, symptom system, and staged intervention. Key findings include: (1) Military stress responses exhibit dynamic longitudinal trajectory patterns; (2) Stress symptom networks may serve as key intervention targets; (3) Early warning signals may signify stress state transitions; (4) The staged intervention model may reduce stress risks and improve the efficiency of medical resource allocation. The study concludes by proposing a four-dimensional stress control model integrating tracking-parsing-warning-intervention, providing theoretical basis and practical models for fostering military stress resilience.
Keywords: Military stress, longitudinal trajectory, Symptom network, Early warning signals, staged intervention
