Abstract :

The main objective of this research is to assess and manage the level of stress in army personnel through Positive behaviour therapy. One hundred and fifty army personnel stationed at Pune military station constituted the sample for this research. The entire sample (75 seniors and 75 juniors’ male army personnel) was screened using Case Study Schedule (Hemalatha Natesan, 2016) and S.I. (Stress Inventory) (HemalathaNatesan and NandiniMenon, 2002). The Psychological intervention called Positive Behaviour Therapy (Hemalatha Natesan,2004) was given to all the subjects. All the four strategies of Positive Behaviour Therapy namely, Relaxation Therapy, Counselling, Exercises and behavioural Assignments were applied. The therapy was given for one hour for thrice a week on alternate days for eight weeks. The results showed that the major cause of stress reported by the entire sample was too much to do in a short period and inability to be with the family when required. Initially, the entire sample had very High/High stress but after administration of the therapy there was a significant reduction in the mean stress from very high to low level of stress proving the efficacy of Positive Behaviour Therapy in army personnel.
