Summary
The Ukrainian version of the Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory-Second Edition (DRRI-2) is a reliable tool for assessing military personnel's mental health risks and resilience factors post-deployment.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Military Health
- Psychometrics
Background:
- Combat exposure is a significant risk factor for veteran mental and physical health issues.
- Social, economic, and cultural factors exacerbate postdeployment symptomatology.
- The Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory-Second Edition (DRRI-2) is a validated measure of psychosocial factors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To adapt and psychometrically validate the DRRI-2 for use with Ukrainian military personnel.
- To ensure the Ukrainian DRRI-2 accurately measures deployment-related risk and resilience.
Main Methods:
- Translation and adaptation of the DRRI-2 for the Ukrainian context.
- Psychometric validation using a sample of 373 Ukrainian military personnel.
- Assessment of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and concurrent validity with established measures.
Main Results:
- The Ukrainian DRRI-2 demonstrated acceptable-to-strong internal consistency (average alpha = .83).
- Risk factor scales positively correlated with PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms.
- Resilience factor scales negatively correlated with symptom severity and positively with functioning.
Conclusions:
- The Ukrainian DRRI-2 is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing deployment-related psychosocial factors in Ukrainian military personnel.
- This validated tool can aid in understanding and addressing the mental health needs of Ukrainian service members.

01:17Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...
01:29Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...
01:25Distribution Reliability and Automation
Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...
01:30Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a science-based, preventive system used globally to ensure food safety by identifying, evaluating, and controlling biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout food production. Originally developed by NASA and the Pillsbury Company for astronaut food, HACCP is now a core component of the Codex Alimentarius.HACCP operates on prerequisite programs—such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), sanitation procedures, and supplier...
