Material type: Text

TextPublication details: [United States : s.n.], 1996Description: [14] pSubject: Assesses 36 emergency medical workers' symptoms self-rated for the weeks before and after they worked a mass shooting incident. Psychological and psychosomatic symptom changes were related to their social supports, including participation in Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD). Feeling that others understood their experience was related to lower acute obsessive-compulsive, general, and psychosomatic symptom levels, and also to better recovery from obsessive-compulsive, depressive, and hostility symptoms. CISD attendance was related to better recovery from depressive and anxiety symptoms. Studies evaluating emergency workers' job stress, CISD, and social support should use repeated measures designs, assess short-term recovery, and distinguish among symptom manifestations
