명량대첩을 통해 본 장병 전투스트레스 관리 방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the adaptive and maladaptive battle stress exhibited by Admiral Yi Sun-sin and the Joseon Dynasty naval forces during the Battle of Myeongnyang. It serves as a case study for each type of reaction and explores methods for soldiers to manage maladaptive combat stress while performing their missions. Although there were countless frictions and uncertainties in the Battle of Myeongnyang, most existing studies are limited to examining victory factors from a leadership perspective. A more systematic approach to battlefield psychology in detailed combat situations has not been thoroughly explored. Analyzing the Battle of Myeongnyang from a military perspective and studying specific ways to overcome maladaptive behavior in battlefield psychology, such as soldier mentality conflicts, is highly useful. When the battlefield situation is uncertain and combatants perform missions at the risk of their lives, stress is inevitable. However, when a unit is united with effective leadership and strong camaraderie, stress factors can lead to adaptive responses rather than maladaptation, thus improving the mission performance of individuals and units. Yi Sun-sin recognized that enhancing adaptive ability was crucial for effectively performing assigned tasks in combat situations. Although combat stress cannot be avoided on the battlefield, it can be minimized or alleviated through proper management. The management plan involves cultivating the ability to adapt to combat stress and maintaining a state capable of performing missions. To manage and prevent maladaptive behavior, the following measures are suggested: Maintain physical health: Engage in physical training to overcome physical eactions, reduce combat load, and ensure adequate sleep. Promote mental health: Foster pride and self-esteem to overcome mental reactions, and strengthen religious beliefs. Strengthen adaptive capacity: Alleviate battlefield psychological maladaptation and enhance adaptive capacity to overcome behavioral reactions Demonstrate battlefield leadership: Employ effective leadership to overcome organizational reactions. Through this study, there is a need to create an atmosphere that encourages continuous research on battlefield psychology and combat stress management methods among various warriors. Consequently, the utilization of field units must be maximized to enable effective combat stress management in battlefield environments. Additionally, deriving battlefield psychological management and prevention methods will enhance fighting spirit at both individual and unit levels. Therefore, recognizing the interconnectedness of combat stress prevention, management, and overcoming conflicts in military spirit is essential. This understanding should be actively applied in mission execution through the collective efforts of all soldiers.
