对1978年旋风灾害后斯里兰卡受影响人口的心理障碍进行了纵向研究。研究了农村社区在返回同样的被破坏环境后所发现的气旋后压力。症状往往是早期或延迟出现。毫无准备的程度被假定为前者的原因。群体凝聚力和社区感倾向于延迟症状的表现。意识到损失、家庭需求和继续居住在受损房屋中起到了提醒和提醒的作用。一年后，麻疹继续影响一半以上的人口。建议在此类灾害发生后在社区环境中进行早期干预。
Summary A longitudinal study of psychological disturbance in the affected population in Sri Lanka after the cyclone disaster of 1978 was carried out. The post-cyclonic stress identified among the rural communities after their return to the same destroyed environment was studied. Symptoms tended to be early or delayed in appearance. The degree of unpreparedness is postulated as the cause of the former. Group cohesiveness and feelings of community tended to delay the manifestation of symptoms. Realization of losses, family needs, and continued habitation in damaged homes acted as reminders and reinforcers. Morbidity continued to affect over half the population one year later. Early intervention within community settings after such disasters is recommended.
