[知識分享站] 八八水災特稿(二):預防創傷後壓力症候群-建立災民抒發壓力的管道

據報載,在八八水災中因遭遇親人生離死別與家園全毀的創痛,已有不少災民產生行為怪異或情緒低落的症狀,譬如原本活潑好動的小女孩開始不斷啼哭而表情一直驚惶不安,有很多災民一直無法入睡或情緒一直低落,這些都可能是創傷後壓力症候群的徵兆。

創傷後壓力症候群(Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)是近幾年來為大家廣泛注意的精神疾病之一。主要也是因為近年天災不斷,如集集921大地震、美國卡翠娜颶風、南亞大海嘯以及這次的八八水災,從歷年來的經驗發現儘管這些災難的倖存者身體可能復原了,但是心理的壓力和創傷卻影響更大。以天災與創傷後症候群為主要關鍵字,搜索心理學專業資料庫(PsycINFO)從2007年至今收錄的相關文獻資料如下:

在921震災後,台灣的精神醫療系統對於災後的精神醫療與心靈復健有了很多的經驗,在這次災難後更是快速的動員進入災區進行相關的醫療與復健動作,以中華民國臨床心理師公會全國聯合會網站上建立「八八水災心理重建檔案下載」專區,提供當地的心理師、志工或相關專業人員可以有充足的資源可以利用。也期望在早期的心理復健介入之下,災民可以儘早恢復,全國一同投入災後重建工作!
