To determine the extent and nature of health-related behaviours and outcomes among members of the first foreign medical team to arrive in Aceh, following the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004.
A cross sectional survey of team members 4 weeks after return from Aceh.
Compliance with antimalarial chemoprophylaxis and insect repellent was high while in Aceh, but only one-third completed the course of chemoprophylaxis. The provision of prepackaged food and water was likely to have prevented enteric disease. Members reported mosquito bites, fatigue, sunburn, headache and anxiety about earthquakes.
Provision of prepackaged food and water, preventive measures and information to members may be important in avoiding illness in such teams.
确定2004年节礼日海啸后抵达亚齐的首支外国医疗队成员中与健康相关行为及结果的程度和性质。
在医疗队成员从亚齐返回4周后进行横断面调查。
在亚齐期间，对疟疾化学预防和驱虫剂的依从性很高，但只有三分之一的人完成了化学预防疗程。预包装食品和水的供应可能预防了肠道疾病。成员们报告有蚊虫叮咬、疲劳、晒伤、头痛以及对地震的焦虑。
向成员提供预包装食品和水、预防措施及信息对于避免此类医疗队出现疾病可能很重要。
