Disaster mental health is recognized as a crucial part of disaster preparedness and response. Despite the commonality of disasters in Asia, many countries face formidable barriers to a rapid and robust mental health care response. Mobile technologies can alleviate the immediate suffering and reduce onset of chronic conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. This article explores the role of mobile technologies to improve mental health before, during, and after disasters in Asia.
灾难心理健康被视为灾难防范与应对的关键部分。尽管亚洲灾害频发，但许多国家在迅速且有力地开展心理健康护理应对方面面临巨大障碍。移动技术可以减轻即时痛苦，并减少创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症等慢性病的发生。本文探讨了移动技术在改善亚洲灾难前、灾难期间及灾难后心理健康方面的作用。
