In Spring 2020, the New York Army and Air National Guard (NYNG) rapidly deployed to New York City (NYC) to assist in the recovery, processing, and transport of COVID-19 decedents. This study reports on a survey conducted by NYNG service members three to six months post-mission ( = 177). Data showed that there was a dose-response relationship between mission stress exposure and decremented mental health, but certain activities were associated with better mental health outcomes. The paper also reviews resources provided by behavioral health personnel to support service members during the mission and lessons learned to inform future decedent recovery missions.
2020 年春季,纽约陆军和空军国民警卫队(NYNG)迅速部署到纽约市(NYC),协助新冠死者的恢复、处理和运输。本研究报告了 NYNG 士兵在任务结束后三到六个月进行的一项调查(=177)。数据显示,任务压力暴露与心理健康下降之间存在剂量反应关系,但某些活动与更好的心理健康结果相关。本文还回顾了行为健康人员在任务期间为支持士兵提供的资源,并吸取了经验教训,为未来的死者恢复任务提供信息。
