[Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms among professionals during humanitarian aid in Haiti after the earthquake in 2010]. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The article examines PTSD symptoms in humanitarian aid workers following the 2010 Haitian earthquake, using a cross-sectional study design.
  • It involved 66 participants from Brazil, the U.S., and Ecuador, who showed no current PTSD symptoms but highlighted significant links between previous disaster experiences and PTSD scores.
  • The authors stress the importance of identifying prior experiences in mental health care to help mitigate the risk of developing PTSD in similar future scenarios.

Article Abstract

The scope of this article is to screen the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among the professionals who provided humanitarian aid for the Haitian population after the 2010 earthquake. It involvess a cross-sectional study. The Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R) was used for screening symptoms of PTSD. The participants included 32 Brazilians (mean age = 37.58 +/-7.01), 22 Americans (mean age =33.67 +/-8.03) and 12 Ecuadorians (mean age = 44.80 +/- 15.88). The professionals did not have PTSD symptoms. The relationship between prior experience variables in disaster situations and the total score of the IES-R (F (2) = 4.34, p = 0.017), as well as prior experience in disaster situations and the intrusion subscale (F (2) = 3.94, p = 0.024) were significant in linear regression models. The number of prior experiences was revealed as a significant predictor for the total score of IES (p < 0.05). The results showed that current experiences can be exacerbated by memories of prior experiences, increasing the likelihood of developing PTSD. Therefore the mental health care of the professionals should foster the early identification of prior experience risk factors, thereby not permitting voluntary initiative to transcend selective criteria and specific care.
