The purpose of this study was to determine the key components of Korean disaster psychiatric assistant teams (K-DPATs), to set up new mental health service providing system for the disaster victims.
We conducted an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) involving disaster mental health experts, using a pairwise comparison questionnaire to compare the relative importance of the key components of the Korean disaster mental health response system. In total, 41 experts completed the first online survey; of these, 36 completed the second survey. Ten experts participated in panel meetings and discussed the results of the survey and AHP process.
It was agreed that K-DPATs should be independent of the existing mental health system (70.1%), funding for K-DPATs should be provided by the Ministry of Public Safety, and the system should be managed by the Ministry of Health (65.8%). Experts shared the view that K-DPAT leaders would be suitable key decision makers for all types of disaster, with the exception of those involving infectious diseases.
K-DPAT, a new model for disaster mental health response systems could improve the insufficiency of the current system, address problems such as fragmentation, and fulfill disaster victims' unmet need for early professional intervention.
本研究旨在确定韩国灾难心理援助团队（K-DPATs）的关键组成部分，为灾难受害者建立新的心理健康服务提供系统。
我们对灾难心理健康专家进行了层次分析法（AHP），使用成对比较问卷来比较韩国灾难心理健康应对系统关键组成部分的相对重要性。共有41名专家完成了第一次在线调查；其中36名完成了第二次调查。10名专家参加了小组会议，讨论了调查结果和层次分析法过程。
大家一致认为，K-DPATs应独立于现有的心理健康系统（70.1%），K-DPATs的资金应由公共安全部提供，该系统应由卫生部管理（65.8%）。专家们一致认为，除了涉及传染病的灾难外，K-DPAT负责人将是各类灾难的合适关键决策者。
K-DPAT作为灾难心理健康应对系统的新模式，可以改善当前系统的不足，解决碎片化等问题，并满足灾难受害者对早期专业干预未得到满足的需求。
