Bam earthquake and its profound tragedy of thousands killed has caused emotional and psychological trauma for tens of thousands of people who have survived. This study aimed to investigate general health of parents who lose their children in Bam earthquake 10 years after the earthquake.
General health of 166 parents who lost their children in Bam earthquake was assessed using a translated version of General Health Questionnarie-28 items.
The mean score of GHQ was 25.63±15.28. Among all domains, the higher mean score belonged to the category of "anxiety/insomnia" and the lower one belonged to the category of "severe depression". The results revealed significant correlation between total GHQ mean score and gender as well as educational level (0.003).
Providing reflective narrative environments in which survivors can express their own experiences and feelings about earthquake, their loss and how they cope with it seems to be as an effective approach to identify their psychosocial situation and its influential factors. In such narrative environments special attention should be given to older participants, females and those who are single.
巴姆地震及其造成数千人死亡的巨大悲剧给数以万计的幸存者带来了情感和心理创伤。本研究旨在调查在巴姆地震十年后失去孩子的父母的总体健康状况。
使用翻译后的28项一般健康问卷对166名在巴姆地震中失去孩子的父母的总体健康状况进行评估。
一般健康问卷的平均得分为25.63±15.28。在所有领域中,平均得分较高的属于“焦虑/失眠”类别,得分较低的属于“重度抑郁”类别。结果显示,一般健康问卷总平均分与性别以及教育水平之间存在显著相关性(0.003)。
提供反思性叙事环境,让幸存者能够表达他们对地震、失去亲人以及应对方式的自身经历和感受,似乎是识别他们心理社会状况及其影响因素的有效方法。在这样的叙事环境中,应特别关注年长参与者、女性和单身者。
