“…The risk factors of PTSD among workers on duty after earthquake were as follows: injury, experience with water shortage, disconnection from family and friends during the response, having passive coping styles, exhibiting neurotic personalities in case of Chinese medical rescue workers [19], lower education status, and resilience in case of Japanese rescue workers [20]. The risk factors of PTSD among workers on duty during the European refugee crisis were as follows: marital status (single/divorced/widower), age, long operation period (> 14 days, aOR = 2.3; 1.4-3.2), long shift hours (> 4 h/day, aOR = 3.9; 3.1-4.7), and handling dead refugees (> 6 refugees, aOR = 3.4; 2.3-4.5) and dead children (> 1 children, aOR = 3.2; 1.9-4.4) [21,22].…”

Background: Although numerous studies on occupational post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been conducted prior to the 1950-2010 seminal systematic review by Skogstad et al., the prevalence, risk factors, and impact of this disorder following traumatic events in occupational settings remain unclear. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by reviewing the literature published after 2010. Methods: We reviewed literature from databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar using PRISMA guidelines to identify studies that address occupational PTSD and examined the status (prevalence or incidence), the risk factors, and the health effects of PTSD among workers. Results: In total, 123 articles were identified, and finally, 31 (25.2%) articles were selected after excluding duplicates. Various occupational traumatic physical events were reported such as natural or manmade disaster, explosion, accident, handling refugee corpses, or bullying at work. Risk of PTSD was closely associated with working conditions, severity of injury, history of mental disorder, occurrence of psychiatric symptoms at the time of the event, personality, interpersonal relationships, etc. Workers with PTSD were likely to experience a deterioration of physical and psychological health and impairment of social and occupational functioning. Conclusions: Our review suggests that many workers remain highly vulnerable to occupational PTSD and its consequences.

“…With regard to resilience, epidemiological studies in natural and technological disasters such as Nias-Simeulue earthquake (2005), Sichuan earthquake (2008), Haiti earthquake (2010), Hurricane Katrina (2005), and Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill accident (2010) showed substantial association between psychological problems and individual resilience (6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Studies performed in the Tohoku area also revealed that individual resilience among medical workers in the first year after the GEJE predicted high work engagement after 4 years (11), and that resilience among initial responders such as firefighters was associated with a low severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms (12). In addition, one study involving high school students in Miyagi Prefecture showed an increase in those having high resilience, as well as a negative correlation between high resilience and depressive symptoms (13).…”

The aims of the present study were to develop and validate a psychological resilience scale reflecting the specificity of the Fukushima disaster, and to examine the effects of this scale on mental health. Methods:The Fukushima Resilience Scale was developed based on data obtained from semi-structured interviews with seven people who had lived in the affected area of Fukushima Prefecture at the time of the disaster. The reliability and validity of the scale were then examined in cross-sectional studies conducted on 500 evacuees through an epidemiological mail survey. To examine the effects of the scale and disaster-related factors on the general mental health status of the respondents, a logistic regression analysis was performed using the six-item Kessler psychological distress scale. Results:The newly developed scale consisted of a four-factor structure: "coping with stigma-related issues," "sharing experiences of the disaster," "action-oriented approach," and "sense of support." Internal consistency coefficients ranged from 0.66 to 0.79. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the only significant association was between "action-oriented approach" (odds ratio = 1.26) and respondents with a K6 score <5 points. Conclusion:The reliability and concurrent validity of the new developed scale in residents of the evacuation area of Fukushima Prefecture were acceptable. A significant association was found between "action-oriented approach" and good mental health among the evacuees, which suggests that this may improve resilience among people affected by the Fukushima disaster.

Aim To evaluate the late‐onset post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) situation, coping strategies and social supports for frontline clinical nurses 6 months after involvement in fighting against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID–19) outbreak in China. Design A cross‐sectional design. Methods We recently randomly distributed a questionnaire online to Chinese nurses who had taken care of COVID‐19 patients since the end of January 2020. The questionnaire was made up of three professional scales, the impact of event scale‐revised, simplified coping style questionnaire and social support rating scale included. Results The general prevalence of late‐onset PTSD among frontline nurses was 88.19%. Nurses who worked in Hubei Province (the kindle place of the COVID‐19 outbreak) showed lower risk of late‐onset PTSD symptoms than those who did not. We also found that positive coping strategies were correlated with less late‐onset PTSD symptoms. Meanwhile, getting more social supports could help these nurses to obtain positive coping strategies.
