This cross-sectional survey measured relationships among blood pressure and measures of psychologic distress, family structure, and economic status in a sample of adolescents exposed to Hurricane Hugo. Spielberger's Anger Scale and Derogatis' Brief Symptom Inventory were used. Data analysis revealed 5% of the 1079 adolescents were hypertensive. Multiple regression analyses revealed the following predictors of higher diastolic blood pressure: African-American race, recipient of subsidized lunch, exposure to Hurricane Hugo, and higher anger-in scores in males. The effects of a catastrophic event such as a hurricane on blood pressure and the effects of introjected anger have implications for both health care consumers and providers.
这项横断面调查测量了遭受雨果飓风影响的青少年样本中血压与心理困扰、家庭结构及经济状况指标之间的关系。使用了斯皮尔伯格愤怒量表和德罗加蒂斯简明症状量表。数据分析显示，在1079名青少年中，5%患有高血压。多元回归分析揭示了舒张压升高的以下预测因素：非裔美国人种族、接受补贴午餐者、遭受雨果飓风影响以及男性较高的愤怒内化得分。飓风等灾难性事件对血压的影响以及内化愤怒的影响对医疗保健消费者和提供者均有启示。
