Summary

This trial aims to see if adding a specific training protocol, called SIT Core Protocol, to traditional Navy military training is feasible and effective. The study will look at how well the new training is implemented

Who is the study for?
This trial is for US Navy service members who are fluent in English, can give informed consent, have access to a smartphone or computer, and agree to undergo testing throughout the study. They must be available for the entire study duration but with flexibility for military demands.
What is being tested?
The trial tests Stress Inoculation Training (SIT) added to traditional Navy training. It measures how well SIT improves stress tolerance, psychological health, resilience, and job performance compared to standard training among Sailors in DCA Firefighting Training.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves psychological training rather than medication, side effects may include discomfort during stress exposure exercises or emotional distress related to confronting stressful scenarios as part of the training.
