摘要

本研究评估了沙特阿拉伯各地紧急行动中心（EOC）领导对心理准备的看法。有效的灾难管理需要管理压力、保持情绪稳定并适应快速变化。研究于 2024 年对来自不同卫生区域和国家卫生应急行动中心的 110 名领导进行了描述性调查，获得了 86.4% 的回复率。参与者填写了一份结构化问卷，评估他们在管理压力方面的信心、减压技巧的有效性以及情绪稳定性。结果显示，他们对压力管理的信心较高（平均分 4.19，标准差 = 0.88），情绪稳定（平均分 4.27，标准差 = 0.80），对减压技巧的效果评价中等偏上（平均分 3.64，标准差 = 0.99）。只有 30.53% 的人接受过正规的心理准备培训，而 96.84% 的人表示需要更多培训。研究发现，自信、情绪稳定和定期回顾应对策略之间存在明显的相关性。这些结果突出表明，迫切需要制定全面的培训计划，以提高灾害管理人员的心理准备能力。

Psychological preparedness in disaster management: A survey of leaders in Saudi Arabia's emergency operation centers

This study assesses perceptions of psychological preparedness among leaders in Emergency Operation Centers (EOCs) across Saudi Arabia. Effective disaster management requires managing stress, maintaining emotional stability, and adapting to rapid changes. A descriptive survey was conducted in 2024 with 110 leaders from various Health regions and the National Health EOC, achieving an 86.4 % response rate. Participants completed a structured questionnaire assessing their confidence in managing stress, the effectiveness of stress-relief techniques, and emotional stability. Results indicated high confidence in stress management (mean score 4.19, SD = 0.88) and emotional stability (mean score 4.27, SD = 0.80), along with moderately high ratings for the effectiveness of stress-relief techniques (mean score 3.64, SD = 0.99). Only 30.53 % had received formal training on psychological preparedness, while 96.84 % expressed a need for additional training. The study found significant correlations between confidence, emotional stability, and the regular review of coping strategies. These results highlight the critical need for comprehensive training programs to improve the psychological preparedness of disaster management personnel.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
