Abstract：Objective To investigate the network structure characteristics and core items of positive mental health of officers and soldiers to provide intervention targets for improving positive mental health level of officers and soldiers.Methods The Chinese version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale was used to investigate the officers and soldiers,the positive mental health network of officers and soldiers was constructed by network analysis,and the centrality of each item was evaluated.Results In the estimated graph network,three strongest edges were found,which were between"I have been feeling optimistic about the future"and"I have been feeling useful",between"I have been dealing with problems well"and"I have been thinking clearly",and between"I have been feeling optimistic about the future"and"I have been feeling interested in other people",with regularization partial correlation coefficients of 0.30,0.29 and 0.26,respectively.Item"I have been feeling cheerful","I have been dealing with problems well",and"I have been feeling confident"had the highest degree of centrality,with expected influence of 1.77,1.43 and 1.34(Z score),respectively.The mean predictability of each item was 0.75,indicating that the network tends to be a self-sustaining system and weakly influenced by exterior factors.Conclusion Taking positive emotion and self-efficacy as intervention targets may improve the positive mental health level of officers and soldiers to the greatest extent.
