Reservists in a Postconflict Zone: Deployment Stressors and the Deployment Experience

350 Australian Army Reservists deployed on a peacekeeping mission completed self-report questionnaires to identify deployment-related stressors and the association between those stressors and perceptions of the overall deployment experience. Most respondents reported a positive experience with relatively low levels of stress. Work-related stressors (particularly those related to leadership) were most commonly endorsed; they also exerted a larger influence on ratings of the overall deployment experience than other deployment-related stressors.
