本研究调查了台湾强烈地震的幸存者中精神疾病的患病率以及创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 和重度抑郁症的危险因素。共有 120 名幸存者接受了由委员会认证的精神科医生进行的精神面谈。两种最常见的疾病是创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）（37%）和重度抑郁症（16%）。创伤后应激障碍的危险因素是社会心理压力源和最初的内疚感。重度抑郁症的危险因素是女性。只有 25% 的 PTSD 幸存者和 26% 的重度抑郁症幸存者到初级保健诊所寻求帮助。这些结果表明需要制定有效的外展策略来应对灾难受害者的精神疾病。
This study investigated the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and risk factors for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder among bereaved survivors of a severe earthquake in Taiwan. A total of 120 survivors received a psychiatric interview conducted by board-certified psychiatrists. The two most prevalent disorders were PTSD (37 percent) and major depressive disorder (16 percent). The risk factors for PTSD were psychosocial stressors and initial feelings of guilt. The risk factor for major depressive disorder was female gender. Only 25 percent of the survivors with PTSD and 26 percent of those with major depressive disorder sought help at primary care clinics. These results indicate a need to develop an effective outreach strategy for dealing with psychiatric disorders among disaster victims.
