334 of over 400 children who survived the sinking of the cruise ship, Jupiter, in Athens harbour in October 1988 completed a battery of questionnaires 5-9 months later. Compared with age- and sex-matched controls, they show significantly higher scores on depression and anxiety. They also report more fears, particularly of stimuli related to the trauma. Overall, their scores on the Impact of Events Scale are as high as those reported by adults in other disasters. Follow-up studies a year after the accident reveal that nearly half the children meet the DSM-III-R criteria for PTSD. The usefulness of this screening battery is discussed. Some evidence for the effects of early intervention in schools is presented.
1988年10月，在雅典港“朱庇特号”游轮沉没事故中幸存的400多名儿童里，有334名在5至9个月后完成了一系列问卷调查。与年龄和性别匹配的对照组相比，他们在抑郁和焦虑方面的得分显著更高。他们还报告了更多恐惧情绪，尤其是与创伤相关的刺激引发的恐惧。总体而言，他们在事件影响量表上的得分与其他灾难中成年人报告的得分一样高。事故发生一年后的随访研究表明，近一半的儿童符合DSM-III-R创伤后应激障碍的标准。文中讨论了这套筛查问卷的实用性。还给出了一些早期学校干预效果的证据。
