一名军人在战争中死亡，会让处理遗体的太平间工作人员感到痛苦和自豪。为了进一步了解他们的反应，作者采访了34名军事和文职人员，以更多地了解他们的工作压力和回报。他们回顾了预期、暴露和处理死者的经验所带来的压力，并探索了个人、监督和领导的策略，以减少负面影响，促进个人成长。这些结果可以应用于许多其他需要规划、实施和监督涉及大规模死亡的太平间操作的情况。
The death of a military service member in war provokes feelings of distress and pride in mortuary workers who process the remains. To further understand their reactions, the authors interviewed 34 military and civilian personnel to learn more about their work stresses and rewards. They review stresses of anticipation, exposure, and experience in handling the dead and explore the personal, supervisory, and leadership strategies to reduce negative effects and promote personal growth. These results can be applied to many other situations requiring planning, implementing, and supervising mortuary operations involving mass death.
