事故发生后一年内的 4 个时间点，对重大空难现场的 108 名工作人员进行了创伤累积影响的检查。研究了创伤史对与事故相关的慢性痛苦和生理唤醒的影响。根据先前在事故现场工作所遭受的创伤的相似性，预计压力水平会有所不同。之前与此类工作“不同”的创伤经历与更容易受到与事故相关的压力的影响有关，也就是说，在事故发生后的一年内，会遭受更多的痛苦和与事故相关的入侵。各种不同创伤经历的积累似乎使员工对新的压力源变得敏感，并使慢性压力长期存在。了解创伤史的作用对于改善旨在减轻创伤后压力的干预措施非常重要。
The cumulative effects of trauma were examined in 108 workers at the site of a major air disaster at 4 time points over a year following the crash. The influence of trauma history on chronic distress and physiological arousal associated with the crash were examined. Stress levels were expected to differ on the basis of the similarity of prior trauma exposure to work at the crash site. Prior traumatic exposure that was "dissimilar" to this type of work was associated with greater vulnerability to crash-related stress, that is, more distress and crash-related intrusions during the year following the crash. Accumulation of a variety of different traumatic experiences appeared to sensitize workers to the new stressor and to perpetuate chronic stress. Understanding the role of trauma history is important for improving intervention efforts aimed at alleviating stress following a trauma.
