The current multi-university, multi-disaster study examined the impact of natural disaster exposure on identity-related distress through life stressors and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). : Young adult university students ( = 665, 77% female, = 20.5 years old) participated in Wave (W) 1. Half provided contact information for follow-up, and 136 university students participated in W2. University students in the mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico were asked about disaster exposure, life stressors, PTSS, and identity-related distress at W1 ( 9.7 months post-disaster) and identity-related distress at W2 ( = 12.4 months after W1). Two serial mediation models assessed the indirect effect of disaster exposure on W1 and W2 identity-related distress through life stressors and PTSS. Disaster exposure impacted identity-related distress concurrently and longitudinally through increasing life stressors since disaster and PTSS. Potential supportive services should address identity-related distress among disaster-exposed young adults with PTSS.
当前的多大学、多灾害研究通过生活应激源和创伤后应激症状（PTSS）考察了自然灾害暴露对与身份相关的痛苦的影响。研究对象为年轻的成年大学生（n=665，女性占 77%，年龄为 20.5 岁），他们参加了第 1 波（W1）调查。其中一半人提供了后续调查的联系方式，共有 136 名大学生参加了第 2 波（W2）调查。美国大陆和波多黎各的大学生在 W1 时（灾难发生后 9.7 个月）和 W2 时（W1 后 12.4 个月）被问及灾害暴露、生活应激源、PTSS 和与身份相关的痛苦。两个连续的中介模型评估了灾害暴露通过生活应激源和 PTSS 对 W1 和 W2 与身份相关的痛苦的间接影响。灾害暴露通过增加灾难后的生活应激源和创伤后应激症状，对与身份相关的痛苦产生了同期和纵向的影响。有创伤后应激症状的受灾年轻成年人可能需要得到与身份相关的痛苦的支持性服务。
