本研究确定了暴露于创伤性重大事件的急救服务（EMS）人员的症状困扰的预测因素。在两组中进行了重复：154名EMS工人参与了1989年旧金山弗朗西斯科湾区地震期间880号州际公路的坍塌，213名来自湾区和圣地亚哥的同行。评估的预测因素包括暴露、社会支持和心理特征。重复分析表明，症状困扰的水平呈正相关的程度暴露于重大事件。调整水平也与症状困扰有关。在控制了暴露、适应、社会支持、工作年限和心理控制源后，2个分离变量仍然对症状反应有很强的预测作用。这项研究加强了文献联系的解离倾向和经验，从暴露于创伤性压力源的痛苦。
This study identified predictors of symptomatic distress in emergency services (EMS) personnel exposed to traumatic critical incidents. A replication was performed in 2 groups: 154 EMS workers involved in the 1989 Interstate 880 freeway collapse during the San Francisco Bay area earthquake, and 213 counterparts from the Bay area and from San Diego. Evaluated predictors included exposure, social support, and psychological traits. Replicated analyses showed that levels of symptomatic distress were positively related to the degree of exposure to the critical incident. Level of adjustment was also related to symptomatic distress. After exposure, adjustment, social support, years of experience on the job, and locus of control were controlled, 2 dissociative variables remained strongly predictive of symptomatic response. The study strengthens the literature linking dissociative tendencies and experiences to distress from exposure to traumatic stressors.
