The scores of somatization, depression, psychosis and the total score of the SCL-90 of these soldiers were higher than the norm (allP values<0.001). The scores of interpersonal relationship, depression, terror and stubborn of the only child were higher than those of non-only-child (P=0.034,P=0.039,P=0.025,P=0.002). The scores of interpersonal relationship and anxiety were positively correlated with their education levels (P=0.008,P=0.026). The compulsory servicemen had higher scores of anxiety, terror and psychosis (P<0.001,P=0.026,P=0.001) but lower scores of somatization (P<0.001) compared with the sergeants. Those who suffered from neck discomfort had higher somatization scores (P<0.001). Conclusion  Some factors involved in psychological stress level of the motor transport soldiers in Military Station C are higher than the norm, suggesting that more attention should be paid to their psychological states by the army administrators and the health management department, especially the only child, new recruits, junior soldiers and those who suffers from somatization discomfort.
