Development and evaluation of the effectiveness of cognitive readiness on stress reactivity, physiological health parameters, optimal decision making and brain wave patterns

develop a cognitive readiness protocol and evaluate its effectiveness on reactivity to stress, physiological health indicators, optimal decision making and brain wave patterns.

Clinical trial with control group, single blind, randomized, on 40 people. The rand function of Excel software was used for randomization

Senior military officers who will participate in the three-month period of cognitive readiness improvement plan. This course will be implemented in one of the military centers located in Tehran. Participants will be randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (probably 20 people in each group). It should be noted that due to the implementation of the research in a military environment and also due to the commitments made to maintain confidentiality, the exact location and some of the demographic characteristics of the participants will not be disclosed.

Entry criteria: 30-40 years old, desire and informed consent to participate in the research Exclusion criteria: presence of mental disorders such as depression, PTST, ASD, tic disorders, anxiety disorders / presence of physical problems and diseases, including history of trauma and Head injury or the presence of brain tumors, severe sweating, skin diseases, especially on the scalp, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases / the presence of disabilities or sensory disorders that affect learning or taking tests, such as visual impairment, hearing problems Difficulty in hand movements, inability or difficulty in standing in a balanced manner

The experimental group includes people who undergo 72 sessions of cognitive preparation training The control group includes people who will not receive cognitive training

stress reactivity; physiological health parameters; optimal decision making; brain wave patterns

People volunteering to participate in the research are randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. In this regard, a number is assigned to all the people and the people of two groups are determined by drawing lots. In this way, in simple randomization with this method, the numbers related to all sample people are first written on sheets and then placed inside the container; Then, half of the cards are drawn from the container. The removed cards are placed in the experimental group and the remaining cards are placed in the control group. Then, if the two groups were equal in terms of demographic characteristics, the assignment ends, and if not, the above process is repeated until the equality of the two groups is achieved.

The participants are fully aware of the research objectives in their group, but they do not know which group they are in (experimental or control) and they are kept unaware of the research objectives in the other group. Also, A and B codes are sent to the analyst for intervention and control groups so that he does not know about the type of groups. Blinding of the outcome assessor will be ensured by his lack of knowledge about the allocation group of patients.

Due to the military example, I do not intend to detail the data

Due to the type of research sample, it is not possible to publish individual data, but after the end of the research, the findings and data analysis will be presented in writing.

The access period starts 6 months after the results are published

Researchers working in academic and scientific institutions

Researchers working in academic and scientific institutions or military centers who intend to conduct research on the protocol of cognitive preparation can benefit from the documents.
