Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between the experience of rescue activities in the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and psychological distress among medical rescue workers (MRWs).

Methods: MRWs were recruited from March 8 to March 31, 2024. Outcomes were psychological distress and PTSS. Independent variables were the experiences of rescue activities in the Noto Peninsula earthquake and peritraumatic distress assessed by the Peritraumatic Distress Inventory (PDI).

Results: 1085 MRWs completed all questions. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that experiences of being overwhelmed by the tragic situation in the disaster area (B = 0.61, p < 0.01), experience of disagreement and conflict among rescuers during rescue activities (B = 0.51, p < 0.01) and PDI (B = 0.33, p < 0.01) were significantly associated with psychological distress, and experience of disagreement and conflict among rescuers during rescue activities (B = 1.70, p < 0.01) and PDI (B = 0.65, p < 0.01) were significantly associated with PTSS.

Conclusions: This study showed factors associated with PTSS and psychological distress among MRWs during the Noto Peninsula earthquake, which was an important finding for future research on the mental health of MRWs.

2024年诺托半岛地震救援经历与医疗救援人员创伤后应激症状及心理困扰的关系

目的：探讨2024年诺托半岛地震救援经历与医疗救援人员创伤后应激症状（PTSS）和心理困扰的关系。方法：于2024年3月8日至3月31日招募mrw。结果为心理困扰和创伤后应激障碍。自变量为诺托半岛地震救援活动的经验和创伤周围的痛苦，由创伤周围的痛苦清单（PDI）评估。结果：1085名mrw完成了所有问题。多元线性回归分析显示，灾区悲情压服经历（B = 0.61, p < 0.01）、救援过程中救援人员意见分歧和冲突经历（B = 0.51, p < 0.01）和PDI （B = 0.33, p < 0.01）与心理困扰显著相关，救援过程中救援人员意见分歧和冲突经历（B = 1.70, p < 0.01）和PDI （B = 0.65, p < 0.01）与心理困扰显著相关。p < 0.01)与PTSS显著相关。结论：本研究揭示了诺托半岛地震中核磁共振工作者创伤后应激障碍和心理困扰的相关因素，为今后核磁共振工作者心理健康研究提供了重要依据。
