Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this scoping review is to identify the types of EMC provided by humanitarian organizations in response to sudden-onset disasters in Southeast Asia in the last 10 years.

Methods: We followed Arskey and O'Malley method and Joanna Briggs Institute guidance. Limited to online-based journal databases (PubMed, Embase, and ProQuest) and ReliefWeb and PreventionWeb for grey literature between 2014 and 2023. Study was performed from January-June 2024.

Results: Finally, 33 studies were included covering 17 disasters (Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, and Myanmar). Fourteen disasters were caused by a single hazard: earthquakes (6, 35.3%), floods (4, 23,5%), cyclones (2, 11.8%), tsunamis (1, 5.9%), and volcanic eruptions, and 3 were multi-hazard: earthquakes and tsunamis (2, 11.8%) and flood and landslide (1, 5.9%). The main services provided were mental health and psychosocial support; assessment, resuscitation, and stabilization; referral and transfer; and health promotion and community engagement.

Conclusions: Humanitarian organizations should prioritize services to meet demands: mental health and psychosocial support; assessment, resuscitation, and stabilization; referral and transfer; and health promotion and community engagement. This can guide national governments in scaling up preparedness and response efforts, ensuring that demands are met at a local level but also aligned with international disaster response.

人道主义组织在应对东南亚突发灾害中提供的紧急医疗服务：范围审查。

目标：本次范围审查的目标是确定人道主义组织在过去10年中为应对东南亚突发性灾害而提供的电磁兼容性类型。方法：采用Arskey和O'Malley方法，采用Joanna Briggs Institute指导。仅限于在线期刊数据库（PubMed， Embase和ProQuest）和ReliefWeb和preventonweb中2014年至2023年之间的灰色文献。研究于2024年1月至6月进行。结果：最终纳入33项研究，涵盖17个灾害（印度尼西亚、菲律宾、老挝和缅甸）。其中，地震（6,35.3%）、洪水（4,23.5%）、气旋（2,11.8%）、海啸（1,5.9%）、火山喷发等单一灾害共14起，地震海啸（2,11.8%）、洪水滑坡（1,5.9%）等多重灾害共3起。提供的主要服务是心理健康和社会心理支持；评估、复苏和稳定；转介及转介；健康促进和社区参与。结论：人道主义组织应优先考虑满足以下需求的服务：心理健康和社会心理支持；评估、复苏和稳定；转介及转介；健康促进和社区参与。这可以指导各国政府加强备灾和救灾工作，确保满足地方一级的需求，同时也与国际救灾工作保持一致。

期刊介绍： Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness is the first comprehensive and authoritative journal emphasizing public health preparedness and disaster response for all health care and public health professionals globally. The journal seeks to translate science into practice and integrate medical and public health perspectives. With the events of September 11, the subsequent anthrax attacks, the tsunami in Indonesia, hurricane Katrina, SARS and the H1N1 Influenza Pandemic, all health care and public health professionals must be prepared to respond to emergency situations. In support of these pressing public health needs, Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness is committed to the medical and public health communities who are the stewards of the health and security of citizens worldwide.
