Effects of a family-based intervention on depression, burnout, and hazardous drinking among Korean military officers and non-commissioned officers
= 29) using a preference-based allocation procedure. The treatment group participated in the Thank-You - Sorry - Love (TSL) program, while the comparison group received no intervention. Depression, burnout, and hazardous drinking were assessed at pretest and posttest using validated Korean versions of the PHQ-9, MBI-GS, and AUDIT, respectively. Mixed-design analyses indicated significant time × group interaction effects across outcomes, with participants in the treatment group demonstrating greater reductions over time compared to the comparison group. These findings suggest that family-based emotional interventions may contribute to improvements in psychological well-being and reductions in maladaptive coping behaviors among military personnel.
