“…The more soldiers perceived stress in the military, the greater their sense of hopelessness, which supported previous findings on the relationship between stress and hopelessness. Researchers have found that stress increases hopelessness, a result obtained in research on soldiers [11], college students [14,15], and the elderly living alone [16]. We also found that perceived stress is negatively associated with mindfulness, which is in line with findings from previous studies [49,50].…”

“…Pessimistic schemas of hopelessness can lead to beliefs that there is nothing one can do to change unhappy states or suffering and that nothing good will happen [10]. Recently, a growing number of soldiers have experienced military life's stress, hopelessness, and uncertainty about their future [1,11,12], which draws attention to examining the variables that affect soldiers' hopelessness and finding ways to reduce it [4].…”

Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which one consciously pays attention to being fully present in the moment. Research has shown that mindfulness can lower anxiety, stress, and hopelessness. This fact may also apply to people in special circumstances, such as those in the military. Therefore, we examined the relationship between perceived stress, mindfulness, and hopelessness among military soldiers. Specifically, we verified the moderating effect of mindfulness on the relationship between perceived stress and mindfulness. We surveyed 309 Korean military soldiers and a total of 257 data were analyzed through descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. Our results showed that perceived stress, mindfulness, and hopelessness are interrelated, and that mindfulness moderated the influence of perceived stress on hopelessness. In other words, the lower the level of mindfulness, the greater the hopelessness when the perceived stress increased. This study suggests that conducting mindfulness training for soldiers can benefit soldiers’ adaptation to military life.

Methods: The participants were 36 professional soldiers in G City, including an experimental group (n=18) and a control group (n=18). The research was carried out from June to July, 2015. The intervention was provided to the experimental group once a week over 8 weeks, for 90 minutes per session. Date were analyzed using x 2 test, t-test, Fisher's exact probability test, and ANCOVA with the SPSS/WIN 12.0 program. Results: Experimental group who took part in the interpersonal relationship improvement program using MBTI had higher self-acceptance score (F=26.39, p<.001), self-esteem score (F=16.61, p<.001), and acceptance of others score (F=0.47, p=.017) than the control group that did not participate. Conclusion: The results indicate that an interpersonal relationship improvement program using MBTI enhanced self-acceptance, self-esteem and acceptance of others of professional soldiers.
