This study examined the predictive power of personal resources (i.e., self-esteem, optimism, and perceived control), severity of earthquake experience (i.e., material and human loss and perceived threat), and coping self-efficacy (CSE) on general distress, intrusion, and avoidance symptoms among the survivors of the 1999 Marmara earthquake in Turkey. Specifically, we expected that CSE would mediate the links between personal resources, severity of earthquake experience, and distress. Survivors (N = 336) filled out various measures of earthquake exposure, personal resources, CSE, and distress. Results of the path analyses indicated that personal resources, earthquake experiences, CSE, and gender have direct effects on intrusion and general distress. Personal resources had also an indirect effect on general distress mediated by CSE. Findings were discussed considering the implications for conservation of resources model and social cognitive theory as well as for interventions following natural disasters.

“…Para el grupo de mujeres dueñas de casa, aumenta el riesgo por las características de un trabajo no reconocido socialmente como tal. Esto concuerda con otros autores respecto de que las mujeres presentarían más problemas de salud mental después de desastres, por su rol en el mantenimiento de la familia (20)(21)(22)(23). De ahí que el perfil de resistencia al TEPT incluya personas que ejercen un trabajo socialmente valorado.…”

Objetivo Después del terremoto y tsunami de Chile (27-F), estudiamos el efecto de factores socio-demográficos, de exposición al evento y de ayuda estatal recibida en la comorbilidad entre trastorno de pánico (CAP) y estrés postraumático (TEPT).Método Encuestas que incluían la Escala de Trauma de Davidson (DTS) a 246 habitantes.Resultados Se encontró 19,1 % de comorbilidad (r=,583; R2=,340; p<,01). Quienes tienen mayor riesgo de sufrir CAP y TEPT son las mujeres dueñas de casa. La ayuda estatal se asocia a más casos de CAP.Conclusiones Diseñamos perfiles de riesgo/resistencia ante terremotos/tsunamis y un instrumento (EP-TEPT) para detectar casos en riesgo de TEPT. Sugerimos pautas para que el Estado mejore su rol después de desastres.
