We monitored a group of students from Danwon High School who survived the Sewol ferry disaster for 27 months to examine the course of their psychological symptoms.
We performed a chart review at the Danwon High School Mental Health Center at the following time points (T): 9 months (T1), 12 months (T2), and 15 months (T3) after the disaster. Additionally, we performed a follow-up review at 27 months (T4). Subjects completed the 'State' section of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression assessment, the Child Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms, and the Inventory of Complicated Grief. Data from the 32 subjects who completed all four assessments were used in the statistical analyses.
Scores of psychological variables tended to increase until T2 and then slowly decreased until T4. The severity of anxiety and complicated grief symptoms changed significantly over time, but the severity of depression and posttraumatic stress symptoms did not.
We found that the symptoms of anxiety and complicated grief reported by Sewol ferry survivors from Danwon High School were exacerbated at the first anniversary of the disaster, but these symptoms subsided after the students graduated from high school.
我们对丹源高中一群在“岁月号”客轮灾难中幸存的学生进行了27个月的监测，以研究他们心理症状的发展过程。
我们在灾难发生后的以下时间点（T）对丹源高中心理健康中心的病历进行了回顾：9个月（T1）、12个月（T2）和15个月（T3）。此外，我们在27个月（T4）时进行了随访回顾。受试者完成了儿童状态-特质焦虑量表的“状态”部分、流行病学研究中心抑郁评估、创伤后症状儿童报告和复杂悲伤量表。来自完成所有四项评估的32名受试者的数据用于统计分析。
心理变量得分在T2之前趋于上升，然后在T4之前缓慢下降。焦虑和复杂悲伤症状的严重程度随时间有显著变化，但抑郁和创伤后应激症状的严重程度没有变化。
我们发现，丹源高中“岁月号”客轮灾难幸存者报告的焦虑和复杂悲伤症状在灾难一周年时加剧，但在学生高中毕业后这些症状有所缓解。
