Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Military Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Mind wandering is common, especially under stress, leading to attention lapses and performance issues.
  • Demanding military training induces high stress in recruits, necessitating interventions to maintain mental health and performance.
  • Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) show promise for cognitive enhancement and stress reduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of Mindfulness-based Attention Training (MBAT) in a military context.
  • To assess MBAT's impact on mind wandering, attentional performance, and well-being in naval recruits.
  • To evaluate the potential of MBAT to mitigate performance decline and support mental health during intense training.

Main Methods:

  • A feasibility study involving 17 newly recruited Royal New Zealand Navy Junior Officers.
  • An 8-week Mindfulness-based Attention Training (MBAT) program with weekly facilitator-led sessions.
  • Assessment of well-being and attentional performance using the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) at multiple time points.

Main Results:

  • Mindfulness-based Attention Training (MBAT) may prevent performance decline during demanding military training.
  • The intervention showed potential for enhancing levels of well-being at follow-up.
  • Facilitator-delivered MBAT appears feasible for military personnel undergoing training.

Conclusions:

  • Mindfulness-based Attention Training (MBAT) could be a valuable component of military training programs.
  • MBAT may offer a protective effect against stress-induced performance decrements.
  • The findings support the role of mindfulness in fostering mental resilience and performance in military contexts.
