“…The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of CRIES-13 was evaluated by Zhang et al [18]. A cut-off score of 30 was recommended to define probable PTSD [19], and it has been used in clinical studies as the most efficient cut-off for discriminating cases of PTSD [18], [20], [21]. Here, using this method the surveyed population was divided into normal and high-risk PTSD groups.…”

ContextOn May12th 2008, a devastating earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale, struck Wenchuan county and surrounding areas in China. The prevalence of mental illness among children and adolescents in a rural town far from the earthquake epicenter is unknown.ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression among junior middle school students in a rural town Ningqiang county, 327 km from the earthquake epicenter.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA population-based mental health survey was conducted in March, 2009.Main Outcome MeasureSurvey Self-designed General Condition Survey Scale, Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13), and the Depression Self-rating Scale for Children (DSRSC) were used to sample 1,841 junior middle school students in Ningqiang county, ten months after the Wenchuan earthquake.ResultsThe prevalence rate of a high-risk for PTSD was 28.4%, with 32.7% among females, 23.8% among males (female vs. male, p<0.001), 38.6% in the severe exposure group and 24.3% in the mild exposure group (severe vs. mild exposure, p<0.001). For depressive symptoms, the overall prevalence was 19.5%, with 24.0% among females, 14.7% among males, 24.5% in the severe exposure group and 17.5% in the mild exposure group (female vs. male, p<0.001; severe vs. mild exposure, p<0.001, respectively). In multivariate analysis, factors such as “having felt despair”, or “danger” and “having own house destroyed or damaged” were significantly associated with PTSD symptoms. Female gender and delayed evacuation in females, and earthquake related experiences in males were significantly associated with depression.ConclusionTraumatic events experienced during the earthquake were significantly associated with symptoms of PTSD and depression in children and adolescents, ten months after the Wenchuan earthquake. These data highlight a need for mental health services for children and adolescents in rural areas, far from earthquake epicenters.

“…This finding is consistent with studies of the family environment, social support, and supportive quality. [ 31 ] However, it is not necessary to evaluate acquaintances or friends. Furthermore, assessments of grief, depression, anxiety, and suicide risk, as well as trauma-related scales, need to measure PTSD and other psychosocial symptoms.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to administer a Delphi panel survey and provide evidence for the development of a psychological intervention protocol for use after disasters in South Korea.MethodA three-round Delphi survey was conducted. In all rounds, respondents answered open- or closed-ended questions regarding their views on i) the concept of disaster, ii) evaluation, iii) intervention, and iv) considerations in a disaster. Data from Round 1 were subjected to content analysis. In Round 2, items with content validity ratios (CVRs) greater than 0.49 were included, and in Round 3, items with a CVR≥0.38 were accepted.ResultsThe response rates for the Delphi survey were high: 83% (n = 15, Round 1), 80% (n = 16, Round 2), and 86% (n = 24, Round 3). The data collected during this survey showed a need for a support system for children; for preventive strategies, including disaster readiness plans; for the protection of children's safety; and for the development of post-disaster psychosocial care.ConclusionsThe panel experts reached a consensus regarding the steps they considered critical in post-disaster evaluation and intervention. The findings suggest a unified model for advancing the development of the Korean version of an intervention protocol for children and adolescents exposed to traumatic events.

A frequent natural disaster occurred in Indonesia attract the attention of various groups who held accountable to think of solutions in anticipating disasters for affected communities. The disaster study in social sciences perspective especially sociology, seems to have not been done much. Most of disaster study in social sciences perspective, focus their reviews more on the children traumatic conditions. This study try to investigates things related to the disaster, and maps its sociological studies, especially from the perspective of communities and families affected by disasters. This paper uses literature study from various thought and research results related to disaster in various countries, as well as sociological studies of society and families against the disasters. Through an analysis of various thoughts and writings, family strengthening and resilience can be pursued through: (1) entwined various intense interaction process between members of community groups both internal and external who is involved in managing a destroyed system by natural disaster; (2) encourage groups among societies to support each other especially to the families affected by the disaster toward positive change such as encouraging the spirit and endurance of each family member, therefore positive changes can be achieved through the various interaction among social environments especially for the children and youth. Thus, through an intense and dynamic interaction within the family, friendship groups, and the surrounding environment, it is expected to change the traumatic conditions of the community members who have experienced disasters. Bencana alam yang semakin kerap terjadi di Indonesia menarik perhatian berbagai kalangan yang terpanggil untuk memikirkan upaya-upaya dalam mengantisipasi bencana bagi masyarakat terdampak. Kajian bencana dalam dari perspektif ilmu sosial, khususnya sosiologi, nampak belum banyak dilakukan. Studi tentang kebencanaan dari sudut pandang ilmu-ilmu sosial lebih banyak mengkaji tentang kondisi traumatik yang dialami oleh anak-anak. Tulisan ini berupaya untuk mengkaji hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan kebencanaan, dan memetakan kajian sosiologisnya, khususnya dari perspektif masyarakat dan keluarga yang terdampak bencana. Kajian ini merupakan studi literatur dari berbagai pemikiran dan hasil-hasil penelitian yang berkaitan dengan kebencanaan di berbagai negara, serta kajian sosiologi tentang masyarakat dan keluarga dalam menghadapi bencana. Melalui analisis terhadap berbagai pemikiran dan tulisan tentang kebencanaan yang dikaji dalam studi ini, maka penguatan dan resilensi keluarga dapat diupayakan melalui: (1) jalinan berbagai proses interaksi yang intens antaranggota kelompok masyarakat, baik di lingkungan internal, maupun eksternal yang ikut terlibat dalam menata sistem yang porak-poranda akibat bencana; (2) antarkelompok masyarakat dapat saling mendorong perubahan-perubahan positif pada keluarga terdampak bencana dengan cara membangkitkan semangat dan kemampuan bertahan dari masing-masing anggota keluarga, sehingga melalui berbagai interaksi antarlingkungan sosial, maka perubahan-perubahan positif dapat diraih, termasuk pada anak-anak dan orang-orang muda. Dengan demikian melalui jalinan interaksi yang intens dan dinamis di lingkungan keluarga, kelompok pertemanan, dan lingkungan sekitar diharapkan dapat mengubah kondisi traumatik warga masyarakat yang mengalami bencana.
