Abstract

Objective: To explore the putative phases of the psychological response to disaster: preimpact, impact, heroic, honeymoon, disillusionment, and recovery, and make recommendations for corresponding interventions.

Conclusions: Disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic are often characterized by chaos and uncertainty. As a result, public health disaster planning and response represent formidable challenges. Although disasters can result from a wide array of hazards, regardless of the agent at work, they may follow a rather predictable trajectory of psychological phases. A heuristic of those phases can provide an opportunity for a more organized disaster mental health response and more efficient utilization of scarce resources.

新冠肺炎患者心理反应阶段的初步探索

目的:探讨灾前心理反应、冲击心理反应、英雄心理反应、蜜月心理反应、幻灭心理反应和恢复心理反应的可能阶段，并提出相应的干预措施建议。结论:COVID-19大流行等灾害往往具有混乱和不确定性的特征。因此，公共卫生灾害规划和应对是艰巨的挑战。尽管灾难可能由各种各样的危险引起，而不管起作用的因素是什么，但它们可能遵循一种相当可预测的心理阶段轨迹。这些阶段的启发式可以为更有组织的灾害心理健康反应和更有效地利用稀缺资源提供机会。

期刊介绍： With the publication of the American Journal of Disaster Medicine, for the first time, comes real guidance in this new medical specialty from the country"s foremost experts in areas most physicians and medical professionals have never seen…a deadly cocktail of catastrophic events like blast wounds and post explosion injuries, biological weapons contamination and mass physical and psychological trauma that comes in the wake of natural disasters and disease outbreak. The journal has one goal: to provide physicians and medical professionals the essential informational tools they need as they seek to combine emergency medical and trauma skills with crisis management and new forms of triage.
