The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship of suicide exposure with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder across three occupational groups likely to be exposed to suicide (i.e., first responders, crisis workers, mental health professionals). An online survey was completed by 1,048 participants. Results indicated that first responders, mental health professionals, and crisis workers were all exposed to suicide in the routine course of their occupation. Exposure to suicide significantly impacted mental health, specifically on depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. The level of exposure to suicide was associated with higher levels of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
本研究的目的是考察在可能接触自杀事件的三类职业群体(即急救人员、危机干预工作者、心理健康专业人员)中,接触自杀事件与抑郁、焦虑及创伤后应激障碍之间的关系。1048名参与者完成了一项在线调查。结果表明,急救人员、心理健康专业人员和危机干预工作者在其职业日常工作中均接触过自杀事件。接触自杀事件对心理健康有显著影响,尤其是对抑郁、焦虑和创伤后应激障碍症状。自杀事件的接触程度与更高水平的抑郁、焦虑和创伤后应激障碍相关。
