To explore the putative phases of the psychological response to disaster: preimpact, impact, heroic, honeymoon, disillusionment, and recovery, and make recommendations for corresponding interventions.
Disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic are often characterized by chaos and uncertainty. As a result, public health disaster planning and response represent formidable challenges. Although disasters can result from a wide array of hazards, regardless of the agent at work, they may follow a rather predictable trajectory of psychological phases. A heuristic of those phases can provide an opportunity for a more organized disaster mental health response and more efficient utilization of scarce resources.
探讨灾难心理反应的可能阶段:前冲击、冲击、英雄、蜜月、幻灭和恢复,并提出相应干预措施的建议。
COVID-19 大流行等灾害通常以混乱和不确定性为特征。因此,公共卫生灾害规划和应对具有相当大的挑战性。尽管灾害可能由多种危害源引起,而不管作用因子是什么,它们可能遵循一个相当可预测的心理阶段轨迹。这些阶段的启发式方法为更有组织的灾害心理健康反应和更有效地利用稀缺资源提供了机会。
