目的评估创伤后应激障碍（PTSD），弹性，和精神困扰的患病率，以确定是否心理健康教育应包括在HAZWOPER training.MethodsPreexisting的调查工具，评估创伤后应激障碍（PTSD），弹性和精神痛苦相结合，形成一个基于网络的调查工具，分布到个人的功能在二级响应角色。数据进行了分析，使用Fisher精确检验，单因素方差分析，和1-样本t tests.ResultsRespondents报告升高的PTSD水平（32.9%）相比，一般人群。HAZWOPER培训的救灾工作经验的响应者更有可能被归类为PTSD阳性相比，未经培训，缺乏经验的响应者和那些只有培训或经验。大多数人（68.75%）在Connor-Davidson弹性量表上的得分低于平均弹性水平80.4。只有培训或培训和经验的受访者更有可能表现出较低的弹性分数比那些没有培训或经验。PTSD积极性与灾难经历相关。在受访者中，91%表示支持心理健康教育。ConclusionsGiven的调查结果，应考虑将部署前和部署后的心理健康教育纳入HAZWOPER培训方案。（公共卫生应急预案。2013;0：1-9）
ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence of traumatic stress experienced by secondary responders to disaster events to determine if mental health education should be included in HAZWOPER training.MethodsPreexisting survey tools for assessing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), resiliency, and mental distress were combined to form a web-based survey tool that was distributed to individuals functioning in secondary response roles. Data were analyzed using the Fisher exact test, 1-way ANOVA, and 1-sample t tests.ResultsRespondents reported elevated PTSD levels (32.9%) as compared to the general population. HAZWOPER-trained responders with disaster work experience were more likely to be classified as PTSD positive as compared to untrained, inexperienced responders and those possessing only training or experience. A majority (68.75%) scored below the mean resiliency level of 80.4 on the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Respondents with only training or both training and experience were more likely to exhibit lower resiliency scores than those with no training or experience. PTSD positivity correlated with disaster experience. Among respondents, 91% indicated support for mental health education.ConclusionsGiven the results of the survey, consideration should be given to the inclusion of pre- and postdeployment mental health education in the HAZWOPER training regimen.
