摘要：Two studies examined peritraumatic symptoms due to war-related stress among hospital personnel with different affect types. In Study 1, we examined 80 Israeli hospital personnel during the period they were exposed to frequent missile attacks in the Second Lebanon War. In Study 2, we examined 67 and 74 Israeli hospital personnel during the time they were exposed and were not exposed, respectively, to missile attacks in the Gaza ‘‘Cast Lead’’ operation. In both studies, hospital personnel completed measures of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms as well as of positive- and negative-affect items (PA and NA, respectively). Exposed personnel with a positive congruent (high PA and low NA) or a deflated incongruent (low PA and low NA) affective types had a lower level of peritraumatic symptoms compared to those with a negative congruent (low PA and high NA) or an inflated incongruent (high PA and NA) affective types. Study 2 further showed that among non-exposed personnel, only personnel with a negative congruent affective type had a higher level of peritraumatic symptoms compared to personnel with other affective types. Clinical implications and required future studies are discussed.Keywords: PTSD; Second Lebanon War; Cast Lead; hospital personnel; negative affect; positive affect(Published: 25 October 2012)For the abstract or full text in other languages, please see Supplementary filesin the column to the right (under Article Tools)Citation: European Journal of Psychotraumatology 2012, 3: 7165 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/ejpt.v3i0.7165
