Abstract:
This paper reviews the role of news with respect to the mental health of a population exposed to a disaster. It is based on the five essential elements of psychosocial care presented by Stevan E. Hobfoll et al. (2007) that can be introduced after a potentially traumatic event: promoting a sense of safety, calming, self and collective efficacy, connectedness, and hope. This study developed a method to relate these elements to television coverage and applied it to the stories (n=1,169) aired by the main networks in Chile in the 72 hours after an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck on 27 February 2010. Of the five elements, promoting a sense of safety occurred most often (82.72 per cent), whereas the others were barely present (less than 10 per cent). The study argues that these elements can increase the possibility of framing the news, given that the audience watching can also be affected by a disaster.
摘要:
本文回顾了新闻在遭受灾难的人群的心理健康方面的作用。它基于StevanE.Hobfoll等人提出的心理社会护理的五个基本要素。(2007)可以在潜在的创伤事件之后引入:促进安全感,平静,自我和集体效能,连通性,和希望。这项研究开发了一种将这些元素与电视报道联系起来的方法,并将其应用于智利主要网络在2010年2月27日发生8.8级地震后72小时内播出的故事(n=1,169)。在这五个元素中,促进安全感最常发生(82.72%),而其他人几乎不在场(不到10%)。该研究认为,这些元素可以增加构建新闻的可能性,鉴于观众观看也会受到灾难的影响。
