TLDR
The acute stress response of soldiers performing various tasks was influenced by many factors, including the task characteristics and external factors, and affected their work efficiency.
Abstract
To examine Chinese soldiers’ acute stress responses, we did this study. The soldiers completed the Acute Stress Response Scale (ASRS) when engaged in major tasks, such as earthquake rescue in Wenchuan, Sichuan, and maintaining social stability in Urumchi, Xinjiang. The ASRS has good reliability and validity. The study enrolled 1,832 male soldiers. The results showed significant differences among five dimensions and the overall response index when comparing four diverse military tasks. Further analysis found that reduced work efficiency and 24 symptom clusters were significantly positively correlated. The acute stress response of soldiers performing various tasks was influenced by many factors, including the task characteristics and external factors. In addition, the acute stress response affected their work efficiency.

Enhancing versus suppressive effects of stress hormones on skin immune function

TL;DR: The results suggest a role for adrenal stress hormones as endogenous immunoenhancing agents and show that hormones released during an acute stress response may help prepare the immune system for potential challenges for which stress perception by the brain may serve as an early warning signal.

Acute stress disorder as a predictor of posttraumatic stress disorder: a systematic review.

TL;DR: The acute stress disorder diagnosis does not adequately identify the majority of people who will eventually develop PTSD, and this goal may be achieved more usefully by describing the broad range of initial reactions rather than by attempting to predict subsequent PTSD.
