Abstract

Although exposure to a traumatic event is thought to be the main aetiological factor in the development of post-traumatic stress disorder, there remain large unexplained individual differences in the severity and chronicity of symptoms. The aim of the present study was to assess the relative contribution of a number of social and psychological factors which are thought to determine symptoms. Crisis support and life-events subsequent to the disaster are the two best predictors of general psychological well-being, whereas a sense of helplessness during the disaster and bereavement are the two best predictors of intrusive symptomatology.

摘要

虽然接触创伤性事件被认为是创伤后应激障碍发生的主要病因，但在症状的严重程度和慢性化方面仍存在大量无法解释的个体差异。本研究的目的是评估一些被认为可决定症状的社会和心理因素的相对作用。灾难后的危机支持和生活事件是总体心理健康的两个最佳预测因素，而灾难期间的无助感和丧亲之痛是侵入性症状的两个最佳预测因素。
