Wear and Tear on Military Personnel Post Caledonian Crisis

Assessing operational wear and tear linked to the crisis

Difference in the Burn-out Assesment Tool (Schaufeli et al., 2019) questionnaire score between exposed and control groups. This questionnaire consists of 23 items, each scored from 1 to 5. The sum of the scores for each item is then divided by 23 to give a final score of between 1 and 5. Subjects can then be classified as green (score \< 2.59), orange (2.59 to 3.02) and red (score \>3.02). The questionnaire contains sub-scores for 'exhaustion', 'mental distance', 'cognitive impairment', 'emotional impairment', 'psychological complaints' and 'psychosomatic complaints'.

This questionnaire consists of 23 items, each scored from 1 to 5. The sum of the scores for each item is then divided by 23 to give a final score of between 1 and 5. Subjects can then be classified as green (score \< 2.59), orange (2.59 to 3.02) and red (score \>3.02). The questionnaire contains sub-scores for 'exhaustion', 'mental distance', 'cognitive impairment', 'emotional impairment', 'psychological complaints' and 'psychosomatic complaints'.

Subjects can then be classified as green (score \< 2.59), orange (2.59 to 3.02) and red (score \>3.02). The questionnaire contains sub-scores for 'exhaustion', 'mental distance', 'cognitive impairment', 'emotional impairment', 'psychological complaints' and 'psychosomatic complaints'.
