This study aimed to examine group differences in the survivors of humidifier damage and the effect of individual psychotherapy on the psychological symptoms of the survivor groups, using the single group pre-post study design. A series of Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests were conducted to investigate the level of psychological problems before and after psychotherapy, as well as the main and interaction effects of demographic characteristics and adaptive functioning on the treatment effects in 69 humidifier disinfectant survivors. The results demonstrated significant differences in problems with socioeconomic status (SES), life functioning, friendships, family relationships, and job adjustment in the survivor groups. Groups with high SES, low life functioning, and poor friend relationships had more problem behaviors than other groups. Problem behaviors related to friendship levels were different before and after psychotherapy. After psychotherapy, individuals with limited social connections exhibited a greater decrease in problem behaviors compared to those with strong friendships. This paper extends the international literature on the long-term consequences of environmental health hazards and the importance of tailored mental health interventions.
本研究旨在采用单组前后测研究设计，考察加湿器损坏事件幸存者的组间差异以及个体心理治疗对幸存者群体心理症状的影响。进行了一系列威尔科克森-曼-惠特尼检验，以调查69名加湿器消毒剂幸存者在心理治疗前后的心理问题水平，以及人口统计学特征和适应性功能对治疗效果的主效应和交互效应。结果表明，幸存者群体在社会经济地位（SES）、生活功能、友谊、家庭关系和工作调整方面存在显著差异。SES高、生活功能低和朋友关系差的群体比其他群体有更多的问题行为。与友谊水平相关的问题行为在心理治疗前后有所不同。心理治疗后，社交关系有限的个体与友谊深厚的个体相比，问题行为减少得更多。本文扩展了关于环境健康危害长期后果以及量身定制心理健康干预措施重要性的国际文献。
