Chapter 20 The Relationship Between Stress and Samhandling

"Military operations are very often accompanied by various levels of stress.
This chapter aims to discuss the concepts and factors of stress and samhandling. The
main factors are social support, self-efficacy, resilience and hardiness, implicit coordination,
and character strengths. Individual factors are self-efficacy, resilience and
hardiness, and character strengths. Team factors are social support, team efficacy,
and implicit coordination. A model describing stress and samhandling, including
the above-mentioned individual and team factors and their relations, is introduced
and discussed. The conclusion is that four individual and two team factors are seen
as important if one wishes to counteract the effects of stress and increase both the
individual’s and the team’s ability to conduct samhandling when facing unforeseen
incidents."
