A brief discussion on how to do a good job in psychological work during recruit training

Currently, all detachments across the province are conducting the second phase of training for new recruits. After recruits join the army, their life patterns, living environment, activity content and self-identity have all undergone tremendous changes. Enlistment itself has become a major social life event. At this stage, recruits not only have to endure high-intensity physical training, but also have to complete The adaptation and integration of major changes mentally and psychologically is stressful and prone to various psychological problems. Therefore, the recruit training period is a key period for the psychological work of the army, and how to do a good job in the psychological work of the recruits during the training period has become an important part of the ideological and political work of the army. On the one hand, recruits' psychological problems affect their ability to adapt; on the other hand, they can interfere with the daily management of the army and may even cause various accidents. Doing a good job in psychological work during recruit training is of great significance to improving the management level of the army and maintaining the safety and stability of the army. Below, I will share some of my own views. 1. Strengthen the psychological knowledge training for newly trained backbones. Newly trained backbones have the closest relationship with recruits. They play an obvious role in imparting, helping, guiding and educating and guiding, which can directly affect the recruits' impression and recognition of the army and their adaptation to the new environment. Therefore, it is particularly important to carry out psychological knowledge training for new training backbones. Before the start of new training, psychological knowledge training should be concentrated on the new training backbone, focusing on improving the new training backbone's psychological health knowledge and ability to identify psychological problems, and learning methods and means to use psychological knowledge to assist new training management. 2. Grasp the content of mental health education for recruits. When high-level neurological functions and intelligence are normal, only recruits with stable emotions, moderate behaviors, and the ability to coordinate interpersonal relationships and adapt to environmental changes can withstand the pressure brought by enlistment and new training. , so as to accept values, outlook on life, world view education and fire protection business training in a good psychological state. In the process of new training, health education is a necessary supplement to ideological and political education and should include three aspects. The first is psychological knowledge education. It is necessary to help recruits understand the basic concepts of mental health, psychological problems, serious psychological problems, neurotic psychological problems, mental illness, distinguishing standards and self-regulation methods, etc., so that they can understand their own psychological conditions, learn to introspect and self-examine, and establish Awareness of self-adjustment, maintaining a stable, peaceful and positive attitude, and establishing a correct concept of mental health. The second is environmental adaptability education. During the new training period, emphasis should be placed on psychological adaptability education to the police camp environment and troop training, life, and learning tasks. In view of the actual situation that recruits come from different regions and have different family backgrounds and have difficulty adapting to changes in climate, environment, eating habits, etc., we use explanations, guidance, hints and other methods to dispel the recruits' doubts and encourage them to learn to obey and actively adapt. Reduce the psychological impact of physical discomfort. In view of the strong feelings of loneliness, incompetence, and depression caused by the strict management of the troops, fast pace of life, high intensity of training, and being far away from family when new recruits first enter the camp, we provide lectures, themed activities, group counseling, and behavioral training. We will carry out education in various forms to make recruits understand that the process they are going through is very common. It is an inevitable process for realizing role transformation and consciously integrating into the public security firefighting force to become qualified fire fighters. They should be treated with a normal mind and at the same time, help recruits to establish new skills as soon as possible. The harmonious interpersonal relationships make them feel the warmth, safety and trustworthiness of the military "big family". The third is outlook on life, values ??and worldview education. These contents are the main components of ideological and political education, and they also have a very good auxiliary effect on the mental health of recruits. They can help recruits clarify the direction of their efforts after joining the army, clarify their responsibilities and missions, and can well enhance their sense of honor, A sense of belonging, improved self-confidence, and enhanced psychological immunity. Pay attention to the mental health education of recruits, try to diversify the form, give full play to the role of informatization, make extensive use of media such as digital cinema, the Internet, and radio to carry out mental health education for recruits, and organize and carry out educational and entertaining psychological games during the intervals between training and learning. Ease the boring mood of recruits; the goal of education is only to "understand", do not require recruits to have a deep understanding, avoid abusing assessments, and prevent increasing the burden on recruits; create a profound mental health education atmosphere, hang mental health reminders in the camp corridors and other places language.

3. Carry out good psychological training for recruits. Psychological training for recruits is mainly based on behavioral training. With the help of certain tools and methods, the recruits are allowed to experience certain preset situations, thereby stimulating positive emotions such as confidence, happiness, satisfaction, and trust. Experience, then acquire a certain behavior and fix it into a habit, ultimately achieving the goal of changing personality quality. Failure situations can also be set up for certain special goals to stimulate recruits to experience negative emotions such as depression, regret, frustration, anger, etc., and to guide recruits to reflect, promote self-awareness and understanding, and learn how to control negative emotions, thereby achieving the purpose of psychological assistance. . The training time for recruits is short and the tasks are heavy. When arranging psychological training subjects, it is necessary to focus on their psychological characteristics, focusing on self-awareness, adaptability, self-confidence, resistance to frustration, relaxation skills, will and quality, transcending limits, communication skills, team spirit, etc. Training subjects improve the mental health of recruits and enhance their collective awareness, teamwork awareness and sense of belonging to the unit. 4. Provide psychological counseling to recruits during the new training period (1) Common psychological problems of recruits. Most of the recruits are around 18 years old. They have just left school and their social life experience is relatively simple. Many recruits even leave their hometown for the first time. The recruits come from a wide range of places, and their eating habits, climate, customs, family upbringing, etc. They are all very different; the life in the police camp is fast-paced, the training is intensive, the management is strict and closed, and the collective living environment is completely different from the loose lifestyle before joining the army. This usually has a great impact on the recruits' psychology and can easily lead to various kinds of problems. psychological problems. Mainly manifested in: difficulty in adapting to the environment, homesickness, boredom with new training content, dissatisfaction with troop management methods, frustration, etc. (2) Precautions for psychological counseling of recruits. Because the popularization of the concept of mental health is still in its infancy, psychological counseling is still mysterious, and many people still have some prejudices about it. It is still difficult to get recruits to take the initiative to seek help. Therefore, when carrying out psychological counseling for recruits, the following points should be paid attention to: First, vigorously promote the concepts and practical significance of mental health and psychological counseling, and eliminate recruits’ doubts about psychological counseling; second, require counselors to evaluate the visiting counselors according to their own abilities, personality and other conditions. Recruits make certain choices. If there is no match, the visiting recruits should be transferred to other counselors or institutions as soon as possible for further diagnosis and treatment; third, the psychological counseling environment should be warm, comfortable, and safe, which is conducive to the visiting recruits to relax; fourth, consultation Divisions must strictly abide by the principle of confidentiality. Unless it involves the personal safety of visiting recruits or the safety of troop management, consultation content must not be disclosed privately to unrelated persons; fifthly, when counselors provide psychological counseling and consultation to recruits with psychological problems, if they find that they do have Those who are unable to adapt to life in the army, feel extreme pain while serving in the army, and are determined to quit, or whose continued service may endanger their own and their personal safety, should promptly recommend to the police department that they change the army or withdraw from the army. 5. Handle Recruits with Psychological Problems Well Recruits with psychological problems should be further analyzed and diagnosed in an attitude of being responsible for the recruits themselves and the construction of the public security fire brigade. The causes, nature and severity of their psychological problems should be further analyzed and diagnosed. After diagnosis, treatment suggestions are provided in a timely manner. For recruits with general psychological problems, they can be educated and guided to self-adjust and arrange psychological consultation. For recruits who do have practical problems that are difficult to solve, the army should actively assist in solving them; for recruits with serious psychological problems or neurotic psychological problems, they should be Maintain a high degree of vigilance to prevent accidents. On the one hand, we teach them mental health knowledge and self-adjustment methods to help them learn to adjust themselves. At the same time, we strengthen management education and arrange for dedicated personnel to pay attention to their emotions, speech and behavioral performance, and report any abnormalities in a timely manner. On the one hand, psychological counselors should be notified to intervene in consultation and treatment to carry out positive emotional counseling, cognitive changes and behavioral corrections. At the same time, efforts should be made to create a healthy, friendly and helpful group atmosphere and help them establish a supportive interpersonal environment. On the other hand, Evaluate their social functional status. If they are indeed unfit to continue serving, they should arrange to change the army or retire as soon as possible; for recruits suffering from impulsive personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder and severe neurosis, they should be discharged within three months of joining the army. Retreat within a month. Recruits suffering from various types of schizophrenia can be returned to their place of origin within six months after enlistment after examination.
