对安全的感知，感知到的安全，是健康的一个重要组成部分，也是暴露在各种创伤事件之后的工作能力。安全感与创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症的关系很少被研究。本研究调查了9/11恐怖袭击后两周灾难工作者的创伤后应激障碍、抑郁和安全感症状。在暴露量较大的人群中，感知的安全性较低（例如，那些感到自己处于身体危险之中、与尸体打交道或目睹有人被杀或受重伤的人）。较低的安全感与更大的侵入和过度觉醒症状有关，但与回避无关。安全性与抑郁和创伤周围分离呈负相关。恐怖事件后对安全的看法降低，对社会和工作相关行为产生影响，可能会影响灾难工作人员和其他第一反应人员的长期健康，士气和生产力。
The perception of being safe, perceived safety, is an important component of health and the ability to work after exposure to traumatic events of all kinds. The relationship of perceived safety to posttraumatic stress disorder and depression has rarely been examined. This study examined symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and perceived safety in disaster workers 2 weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Perceived safety was lower in those with greater exposure (e.g., those who felt they were in physical danger, worked with dead bodies, or witnessed someone being killed or seriously Injured). Lower perceived safety was associated with greater symptoms of intrusion and hyperarousal but not avoidance. Safety was negatively correlated with depression and peritraumatic dissociation. Lowered perceptions of safety following terrorist events have implications for social and work-related behaviors that can affect long-term health, morale, and productivity in disaster workers and other first responders.
