Objective: This study aimed to administer a Delphi panel survey and provide evidence for the development of a psychological intervention protocol for use after disasters in South Korea.
Method: A three-round Delphi survey was conducted. In all rounds, respondents answered open- or closed-ended questions regarding their views on i) the concept of disaster, ii) evaluation, iii) intervention, and iv) considerations in a disaster. Data from Round 1 were subjected to content analysis. In Round 2, items with content validity ratios (CVRs) greater than 0.49 were included, and in Round 3, items with a CVR≥0.38 were accepted.
Results: The response rates for the Delphi survey were high: 83% (n = 15, Round 1), 80% (n = 16, Round 2), and 86% (n = 24, Round 3). The data collected during this survey showed a need for a support system for children; for preventive strategies, including disaster readiness plans; for the protection of children's safety; and for the development of post-disaster psychosocial care.
Conclusions: The panel experts reached a consensus regarding the steps they considered critical in post-disaster evaluation and intervention. The findings suggest a unified model for advancing the development of the Korean version of an intervention protocol for children and adolescents exposed to traumatic events.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how a history of mental disorders, especially PTSD, influences the severity of PTSD symptoms in people affected by earthquakes, highlighting the need for better understanding in treatment.
- Researchers compared individuals with prior mental disorders to those without and found that those with any past mental issues tend to experience more current psychological disorders.
- The results indicate that while prior PTSD patients faced more life challenges, the presence of any previous mental disorder doesn't necessarily lead to more severe PTSD, suggesting the importance of screening for all trauma survivors, regardless of their mental health history.
