玉树地震后幸存者的创伤后应激症状、生活满意度与积极情感/消极情感

Objective： To investigate the relations of positive affect and negative affect to postraumatic symptoms and the life satisfaction in survivors after the Yushu Earthquake. Methods： Totally 505 residents in Yushu earthquake disaster area were assessed with the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Check List-Civilian Version （PCL-C）, Hopkins Symptom Checldist-25 （HSCL-25）, Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale （PANAS）, and Satisfaction With Life Scale （SWLS）. Results： The PCL-C score showed the prevalence of post-traumatic symptoms in this sample was 32. 7%, the HSCL-25 score showed the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms was 53.3% and 47.1%, respectively. Women, Tibetan and survivors with low education level had higher preva-lence of the above symptoms （P 〈 0. 05）. Linear regression analysis showed that the NA score of PANAS had posi- tive correlation with PCL-C score, the depression and anxiety symptomsscore of HSCL-25 （β = 0. 59, 0. 62, 0. 59; Ps 〈0. 05）, and had negative correlation with SWLS score （β = -0.15, P 〈0.05）. The PA score of PANAS had negative correlation with the anxiety symptoms score of HSCL-25, had positive correlation with the depression symptoms＂ score of HSCL-25 and SWLS score （/3 = 0. 10, 0. 38; Ps 〈 0. 05）. The elders＂ PCL-C and SWLS score were higher than the young （β = 0. 10, 0. 12;Ps 〈 0. 05）. Women＇s PCL-C scores, depression and anxiety symptoms ＂scores of HSCL-25 were higher than men＂ s （β = 0. 11,0. 11 ; Ps 〈 0. 05）. The Tibetan＂ s SWLS score was higher than the non-Tibetan＂ s （β =0. 16, P 〈0.05）. Conclusion： It suggests that after the Yushu Earthquake, the negative affect in survivors may be the risk factor for post-traumatic symptoms, and have negative effect on life satisfaction, while the positive affect could relieve survivors＂ anxiety symptoms and improve their life satisfaction.
