First, to review the principles and practice of disaster psychiatry, in light of recent global events. Second, to identify opportunities for research.
A literature review of the MEDLINE database, UpToDate and the Cochrane Library was conducted. Reference lists were also reviewed.
Psychiatrists are well-positioned to contribute to positive outcomes at all stages of the disaster response. These contributions derive from their roles as doctors, mental illness specialists and clinical leaders.
A novel framework for the psychiatrist's contributions was proposed. Specific knowledge of disaster psychiatry may be worthwhile, and establishment of a public disaster psychiatry centre is reasonable. Research should further examine the role of tele-psychiatry and pursue a best practice for community and front-line employee psychological preparedness.
首先，根据最近的全球事件，回顾灾难精神病学的原则和实践。其次，确定研究机会。
对 MEDLINE 数据库、UpToDate 和 Cochrane Library 进行文献回顾，并对参考文献进行回顾。
精神科医生在灾难应对的所有阶段都有能力做出积极贡献。这些贡献源自他们作为医生、精神疾病专家和临床领导者的角色。
提出了一个精神科医生贡献的新框架。具体的灾难精神病学知识可能是有价值的，建立一个公共灾难精神病学中心是合理的。研究应进一步探讨远程精神病学的作用，并为社区和一线员工的心理准备制定最佳实践。
