目的 该研究的目的是评估 SARS 生物灾难对医护人员的心理影响。方法 参与者为127名曾照顾过疑似SARS患者的医护人员。所有参与者在第一阶段完成了中国健康问卷（CHQ）、艾森克人格问卷和父母亲子关系工具，一年后再次完成了CHQ。结果 随访时出现精神症状的医护人员表示，这些症状与日常生活压力有关，而非 SARS 危机。医生比护士有更多的躯体症状，这表明不同的职业对心理健康有不同的影响。此外，人们发现个体早期的母性依恋和神经质对危及生命的压力的心理健康有更大的影响。结论 危及生命的压力和日常生活压力对心理健康有两种不同的影响模式。这些结果为未来理解和预防人类压力相关的精神疾病提供了一个临床前模型。
Aim The aims of the study were to assess the psychological impact of SARS bio-disaster on healthcare workers. Methods The participants were 127 healthcare workers who had taken care of suspected SARS patients. All participants completed the Chinese Health Questionnaire (CHQ), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, and Parental Bonding Instrument at the first stage and the CHQ again a year later. Results Healthcare workers that had mental symptoms at follow-up reported the symptoms were associated with daily-life stress and not the SARS crisis. The physicians had more somatic symptoms than nurses, suggesting different professions have different impact on mental health. Additionally, individual's early maternal attachment and neuroticism were found to have greater effect on mental health of life-threatening stress. Conclusions Life-threatening and daily-life stress show two different patterns of influence on mental health. These results provided a preclinical model for understanding, and preventing, human stress-related psychiatric disorders in the future.
