Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the stress and coping strategy of rescue surgical staff early after earth-quake. Methods: The self reporting questionnaire (SRQ-20) and coping styles questionnaire (CSQ) were distribu-ted to 37 surgical staff and 44 psychiatric staff (the control group) in Chengdu City 2 weeks after Wenchuan earth-quake. The results were analyzed by t test, correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis. Results: The grades of rescue surgical staff in SRQ-20 and negative coping styles factor was higher than that of the psychiatric staff [(9.3±4.7)vs.(3.2±3.9), (29.8±6.2) vs.(26.1±7.1); Ps<0.05] . The SRQ-20 score in rescue surgical staffs was positively correlated with negative coping styles factor (r=0.50, P=0.002) and age (R~2=0.168, P=0.012) . Conclusion: Surgical staff, especially the elder, have more intensive acute stress reaction. It is essential to publicize psychologic knowledge and improve mental health of surgical staff.
