Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: In times of war, mental health professionals are at an increased risk of developing psychological problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The effects of conflicts or wars on mental health professionals in Palestine and their coping methods of dealing with these challenges remain unknown. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of PTSD symptoms and strategies for coping among mental health professionals in Palestine, in light of the ongoing Gaza war and political violence.
UNASSIGNED: The study utilized a cross-sectional research design. Self-reported questionnaires, including the PCL-5 and Brief COPE scales, were used to gather data. The relationship between the research variables and PTSD symptoms was investigated using frequencies, percentages, bivariate analysis, Pearson correlation, and Pearson\'s chi-square test.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 514 participants were recruited, with an estimated prevalence of PTSD of 38.7%. Furthermore, the multivariate analysis revealed that having a prior history of trauma and feeling disabled or unable to deal with your patients during the current Gaza war and Israeli-Palestinian political violence increases the likelihood of developing PTSD symptoms. In addition, using venting, self-blame, and behavioral disengagement as coping strategies increases the likelihood of developing symptoms of PTSD. Moreover, using acceptance and substance use as coping strategies reduces the risk of developing PTSD symptoms.
UNASSIGNED: The findings revealed a high prevalence of PTSD symptoms among mental health professionals during wartime and political violence. As a result, mental health professionals need immediate assistance in enhancing their mental wellbeing through supervision, psychotherapy, and comprehensive and continuous training.
摘要:
在战争时期,心理健康专业人员患心理问题的风险增加,包括创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)。冲突或战争对巴勒斯坦精神卫生专业人员的影响及其应对这些挑战的方法仍然未知。这项研究旨在评估巴勒斯坦心理健康专业人员中PTSD症状和应对策略的患病率,鉴于正在进行的加沙战争和政治暴力。
这项研究采用了横断面研究设计。自我报告问卷,包括PCL-5和简短的COPE量表,被用来收集数据。使用频率调查研究变量与PTSD症状之间的关系,百分比,双变量分析,皮尔逊相关性,和皮尔森卡方检验。
总共招募了514名参与者,PTSD的患病率估计为38.7%。此外,多变量分析显示,在当前的加沙战争和以巴政治暴力期间,既往有创伤史,感觉残疾或无法与患者打交道,会增加发生PTSD症状的可能性.此外,使用排气,自责,和行为脱离接触作为应对策略增加了发生PTSD症状的可能性。此外,将接受和物质使用作为应对策略可降低发生PTSD症状的风险.
研究结果表明,在战时和政治暴力期间,心理健康专业人员中PTSD症状的患病率很高。因此,精神卫生专业人员需要通过监督立即获得帮助,以增强他们的心理健康,心理治疗,以及全面和持续的培训。
