这项研究调查了 491 名受卡特里娜飓风影响的女性灾前和灾后幸福感的变化，并确定了与风暴后幸存者幸福感相关的因素。参与者在风暴发生前约 1 年以及风暴后 1 年和 4 年完成了调查。这些调查收集了有关妇女的幸福感、社会支持、家庭特征和飓风暴露程度的信息。我们发现，从灾前到灾后 1 年，幸福感显着下降，但灾前和灾后 4 年的幸福感评估没有显着差异。例外的是 38 名女性，她们的幸福感在灾后 4 年仍然低于灾前。与样本中的其他女性相比，这些女性在风暴过后更有可能独自生活，并且在风暴前后从社区获得的社会支持始终较低。风暴后与幸存者幸福感相关的因素包括暴露于飓风压力源以及因飓风失去亲人。这些预测灾后一年的幸福感会降低。飓风四年后，仅暴露于飓风压力源就预示着幸福感较低。相比之下，灾前的幸福感和灾后的社会支持可以防止飓风对幸存者幸福感的负面影响。
This study investigated pre- to post-disaster changes in happiness of 491 women affected by Hurricane Katrina, and identified factors that were associated with the survivors’ happiness after the storm. Participants completed surveys approximately 1 year before and 1 and 4 years after the storm. The surveys collected information on the women’s happiness, social support, household characteristics, and hurricane exposure. We found that happiness significantly decreased from pre-disaster to 1 year post-disaster but there were no significant differences in happiness between the pre-disaster and 4 years post-disaster assessments. An exception were 38 women who continued to have lower levels of happiness 4 years post-disaster than at pre-disaster. These women were more likely to be living on their own after the storm and reported consistently lower levels of perceived social support from the community both before and after the storm than the other women of the sample. Factors associated with the survivor’s happiness after the storm included exposure to hurricane stressors and losing a loved one to the hurricane. These were predictive of lower happiness 1 year post-disaster. Four years after the hurricane only exposure to hurricane stressors was predictive of lower levels of happiness. In contrast, pre-disaster happiness and post-disaster social support were protective against the negative effect of the hurricane on survivors’ happiness.
