The psychological effects of body recovery duties were studied in two groups, 28 specialized police volunteers and 40 ambulance workers. The Impact of Events scale and the General Health Questionnaire were administered to both groups. The results showed that 20% of the ambulance workers and 3% of the policemen were in the moderate to severe category of psychological distress. In neither group did age, number of incidents attended or years in service correlate with distress. Possible causes of the difference between the two groups, such as the way they were managed, are discussed.
对两组人员进行了身体恢复任务的心理影响研究,一组是28名特种警察志愿者,另一组是40名救护人员。对两组人员都进行了事件影响量表和一般健康问卷的测试。结果显示,20%的救护人员和3%的警察处于中度至重度心理困扰类别。两组中,年龄、参与事件的数量或工作年限均与困扰无关。文中讨论了两组之间存在差异的可能原因,比如管理方式。
