■社会支持被认为是预防精神疾病的重要因素。然而,对救护人员使用多种类型的社会支持与创伤后应激症状(PTSS)之间的关联知之甚少。这项研究旨在评估使用的社会支持类型的数量是否可以预测救护人员的PTSS。除了评估社会支持利用的主要影响外,我们有兴趣调查社会支持利用是否能调节关键事件发生频率对PTSS的影响.
■共有383名救护人员完成了一项由经过验证的问卷组成的调查。进行了分层多元线性回归分析,以评估创伤暴露频率与社会支持利用和PTSS作为结果变量之间的关联。
■使用的社会支持类型数量较多与PTSS水平较高相关(β=0.15,p<.001)。当充当关键事件暴露频率与PTSS之间关联的主持人时,社会支持利用具有显著的正交互效应(β=0.26,p=0.049)。在过去的一年中,有307名参与者使用了2种或3种非正式支持,而81人使用了2或3种正式支持。
■据我们所知,这是第一项调查多重利用之间关系的研究,并发社会支持类型和PTSS。这项研究表明,要了解救护人员中社会支持的影响,有必要评估多个并发支持类型的利用率,社会支持使用的影响因素,以及构成救护车工作职业生活的不同社会支持利用模式。
UNASSIGNED: Social support is considered an important factor in prevention of mental illness. However, little is known about the association between ambulance personnel\'s use of multiple types of social support and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). This study aims to assess if number of used social support types predicts PTSS for ambulance personnel. Apart from assessing the main effect of social support utilization, we were interested in investigating if social support utilization moderated the effect of frequency of critical events on PTSS.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 383 ambulance personnel completed a survey consisting of validated questionnaires. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess the association between frequency of traumatic exposure and utilization of social support and PTSS as outcome variable.
UNASSIGNED: Higher number of utilized social support types was associated with higher levels of PTSS (β = 0.15, p <.001). When serving as a moderator of the association between frequency of exposure to critical incidents and PTSS, social support utilization had a significant and positive interaction effect (β = 0.26, p = .049). 307 participants had used 2 or 3 types of informal support during the past year, whereas 81 had used 2 or 3 types of formal support.
UNASSIGNED: To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the relationship between utilization of multiple, concurrent social support types and PTSS. This study suggests that to understand the effects of social support among ambulance personnel, it is necessary to assess the utilization of multiple concurrent support types, contributing factors to social support use, and different patterns of social support utilization that constitutes professional life in ambulance work.
