This study used the Conservation of Resources stress model to examine the role of psychosocial resource loss in the aftermath of Midwest flooding. Questionnaires were distributed through churches and completed by 131 adults in flood-affected communities 6 weeks and 6 months after the flood's crest. Frequent psychosocial losses included losses of routine, sense of control, sense of optimism, accomplishing goals, and time with loved ones. Path analysis revealed that psychosocial resource loss mediated the effects of flood exposure on both psychological distress and physical symptoms at 6 months post-flood. The findings suggest that interventions designed to prevent psychosocial resource loss may reduce the long-term effects of disasters.
本研究运用资源守恒压力模型，探讨中西部洪水过后心理社会资源丧失所起的作用。问卷通过教会发放，由洪水影响地区的131名成年人在洪水达到峰值后的6周和6个月填写。常见的心理社会丧失包括日常生活规律的丧失、控制感的丧失、乐观感的丧失、目标达成的丧失以及与亲人相处时间的丧失。路径分析表明，心理社会资源丧失在洪水过后6个月时介导了洪水暴露对心理困扰和身体症状的影响。研究结果表明，旨在防止心理社会资源丧失的干预措施可能会减少灾难的长期影响。
