Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychological Interventions
  • Military Medicine

Background:

  • Occupational stress impacts Navy medical professionals' health and patient outcomes.
  • Self-care neglect increases psychological health risks.
  • Buddy Care is a peer-to-peer intervention within Navy Medicine's Caregiver Occupational Stress Control (CgOSC) program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Implement and evaluate the Buddy Care intervention.
  • Assess Buddy Care as an evidence-based peer intervention and leadership tool.
  • Evaluate Buddy Care in an active duty U.S. Navy population overseas.

Main Methods:

  • Convenience sample of 40 active duty Navy personnel.
  • Pre-test and 3- and 6-month post-test design.
  • CgOSC Staff Wellness Questionnaire with validated measures (stress, safety, cohesion, burnout).

Main Results:

  • 39 of 40 questionnaires were partially completed; no statistically significant differences found.
  • Large effect size for Perceptions of Safety and medium for Burnout Measure (baseline to 3 months).
  • Small sample size limited statistical significance, but effect sizes suggest potential with larger samples.

Conclusions:

  • Small sample size and missing data limited reliable change detection.
  • Unit Assessments generated interest, and Buddy Care was utilized widely command-wide.
  • Further evaluation of Buddy Care is encouraged to support a psychologically resilient medical force and enhance operational readiness.
