Adequate responses to disasters and emergency situations rely, among other factors, on coping abilities in disaster workers and emergency personnel. In this study, different aspects of disaster-related stressors and training/experience were investigated in Norwegian personnel (n = 581) mobilised for the 2004 tsunami disaster. The level of stress reactions, measured nine to ten months after the tsunami, was relatively low in this sample, indicating that the personnel coped well with the challenges of the disaster. The level of intrusive memories was higher in disaster-area personnel (n = 335) than in home-base personnel (n = 246). Stress reactions were significantly associated with witnessing experiences (disaster-area group) and with having to reject victims in need of help (both groups). Specific preparation for the mission was associated with a lower level of stress reactions in disaster-area personnel. Such factors may be considered in training and preparation programmes for disaster workers.
对灾难和紧急情况的充分应对，除其他因素外，还依赖于救灾人员和应急人员的应对能力。在本研究中，我们对挪威参与2004年海啸灾难救援的人员（n = 581）的与灾难相关的压力源以及培训/经验的不同方面进行了调查。在海啸发生九到十个月后测量的压力反应水平在该样本中相对较低，这表明这些人员很好地应对了灾难带来的挑战。灾区人员（n = 335）的侵入性记忆水平高于后方人员（n = 246）。压力反应与目睹经历（灾区组）以及不得不拒绝需要帮助的受害者（两组）显著相关。针对任务的具体准备与灾区人员较低的压力反应水平相关。在为救灾人员制定培训和准备计划时可考虑这些因素。
