2005年卡特里娜飓风过后，新奥尔良地理区域的警察面临着一些挑战。这项横断面研究考察了82名男性警察和31名女性警察的感恩、韧性和生活满意度作为社会支持和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状之间的中介变量。采用感恩问卷、Connor-Davidson复原量表、生活满意度量表和人际支持评定量表分别测量感恩、复原力、生活满意度和社会支持。采用创伤后应激障碍检查表(PCL-C)评定创伤后应激障碍症状。用普通最小二乘回归中介分析估计感恩、韧性、生活满意度、社会支持和创伤后应激障碍症状之间的直接和间接影响。所有型号都根据年龄、酒精、种族和以前的军事经验进行了调整。平均PCL-C症状女性为29.1(标准差[SD]=14.4)，男性为27.9(SD=12.1)。社会支持与创伤后应激障碍症状之间没有直接关系(c‘=−0.041；95%可信区间[CI]=−0.199，0.117)，独立于通过弹性产生的间接影响(效果=−0.038；95%CI=−0.099，−0.002)。感恩(Effect=−0.066；95%CI=−0.203，0.090)和生活满意度(Effect=−0.036，95%CI=−0.131，0.046)与间接效应无关。这些结果表明，复原力在社会支持与创伤后应激障碍症状之间的关系中起中介作用。针对军官的社会支持和韧性可能有助于减轻创伤后应激障碍症状。
Police officers in the New Orleans geographic area faced a number of challenges following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This cross-sectional study examined gratitude, resilience, and satisfaction with life as mediators in the association between social support and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in 82 male and 31 female police officers. The Gratitude Questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List were used to measure gratitude, resilience, satisfaction with life, and social support, respectively. PTSD symptoms were measured using the PTSD Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C). Ordinary least square regression mediation analysis was used to estimate direct and indirect effects among gratitude, resilience, satisfaction with life, social support, and PTSD symptoms. All models were adjusted for age, alcohol, race, and previous military experience. Mean PCL-C symptoms were 29.1 (standard deviation [SD] = 14.4) for females and 27.9 (SD = 12.1) for males. There was no direct relationship between social support and PTSD symptoms (c′ = −0.041; 95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.199, 0.117) independent of the indirect effect through resilience (effect = −0.038; 95%CI = −0.099, −0.002). Neither gratitude (effect = −0.066; 95% CI = −0.203, 0.090) nor satisfaction with life (effect = −0.036, 95% CI = −0.131, 0.046) contribute to the indirect effect. These results indicate that resilience mediates the relationship between social support and symptoms of PTSD. Targeting social support and resilience in officers may facilitate reduction of PTSD symptoms.
