A study of behavioural responses to an industrial disaster.

摘要: Based upon 7 response variables we categorized the impact behaviour of 123 industrial employees who had been exposed to a disastrous factory explosion and survived without suffering severe injuries. The subjects were personally examined data controlled by cross-interviews shortly after disaster. In analysis divided into high stress (n = 64) medium exposure group 59) based their closeness centre. cognitive function, inadequate behaviour, help received, leadership, cooperative activity, absolute relative rescue efforts. While about 50% total number reported some disturbance in control, 34% experienced near loss did not occur. Modelling corrective social interactions may have played an important role this. Still, 20% behavioural that increased risk life or others. scores added index cut-off points established separate 3 different groups responses: 29% displayed Maladaptive Disaster Behaviour; inhibited uncontrolled flight dominated this group. Adaptive Behaviour was rated Optimal 37%. following background correlated strongly Behaviour: level disaster training/experience, male sex, age above 40, maritime occupational background, average intellectual ability, history mental health problems. A discriminant with 8 predicted correctly whether would be less than 84% 121 tested analysis. training/experience yielded overall correct prediction rate 63.6%, sensitivity 81%, specificity 85.9% positive predictive power 70.7% predicting Behaviour.
