Sleep disturbances and their relation with posttraumatic stress and general psychological distress were examined after the 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan. Sleep disturbances were hypothesized to be associated with posttraumatic stress and general psychological distress in two samples of survivors across two time points (N = 361) in the Philippines. Sample 1 (n = 223) and Sample 2 (n = 138) were collected 18 months and 30 months after the storm, respectively. Results from structural regression modeling indicated that insomnia was associated with both posttraumatic stress and general psychological distress. Poor sleep quality was associated with posttraumatic stress but not with general psychological distress. Findings underscore the longer-term relationship between sleep disturbances and overall sleep quality to posttraumatic stress in the context of a natural disaster. Implications for public mental health interventions in disaster settings are discussed.
本研究调查了 2013 年超强台风“海燕”过后，菲律宾两个受灾群体在两个时间点（分别为风暴后 18 个月和 30 个月，n=361）的睡眠障碍及其与创伤后应激和一般心理困扰的关系。研究假设，在受灾群体中，睡眠障碍与创伤后应激和一般心理困扰有关。结果表明，失眠与创伤后应激和一般心理困扰均相关。睡眠质量差与创伤后应激有关，但与一般心理困扰无关。研究结果强调了在自然灾害背景下，睡眠障碍与整体睡眠质量与创伤后应激之间的长期关系。此外，还讨论了在灾难环境中进行公共心理健康干预的意义。
