DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): AF's mission is to improve the quality of humanitarian aid by providing psychosocial and complex management support to agency staff serving in conflict and post-conflict zones. AF will coordinate a research group to implement the longitudinal study and a multi-disciplinary workgroup to develop materials, programs and strategies through practical field trials; design specialist forums and pilots; and collaborate with humanitarian organizations. The proposed study will result in three major outcomes. First, humanitarian organizations and donors will be in a position to justify the need for stress management programs. Second, evidence will be provided on the potential psychological consequences of stress from humanitarian relief efforts on the well-being of HAWs. Third, recommendations will be formulated for organizational policy and response. The consequences of stress on mental health are of growing interest to the public health sector. The relevance of the proposed study to public health includes assisting organizations in monitoring the mental health status of HAWs before, during and after deployment through education, prevention measures, support and care.

描述（由申请人提供）：AF 的使命是通过向在冲突和冲突后地区服务的机构工作人员提供社会心理和综合管理支持来提高人道主义援助的质量。 AF将协调一个研究小组实施纵向研究，并协调一个多学科工作组通过实际现场试验开发材料、方案和策略；设计专家论坛和试点；并与人道主义组织合作。 拟议的研究将产生三个主要成果。 首先，人道主义组织和捐助者将能够证明压力管理计划的必要性。 其次，将提供证据证明人道主义救济工作的压力对HAWs的福祉产生潜在的心理影响。 第三，将制定组织政策和应对措施的建议。 公共卫生部门越来越关注压力对心理健康的影响。 拟议研究与公共卫生的相关性包括通过教育、预防措施、支持和护理协助组织在部署前、部署期间和部署后监测HAW的心理健康状况。
