Esta investigación aborda esta problemá-tica, basándose en los resultados de un estudio cualitativo exploratorio. La investigación se basó en informaciones recogidas en catorce adultos que vivieron el terremoto del 27 de febrero de 2010 en Chile, cuyas edades fluctuaban entre 24 y 70 años de edad. Esta investigación permite identificar ciertas estrategias de adaptación que los participantes han utilizado para sobre llevar el estrés causado por el terremoto. Este autor destaca que la intervención psicosocial en las víctimas de desas-tres naturales debe tener en cuenta enfoques globales centrados en la persona y en sus familiares o cercanos tanto en la fase de pre desastre, la fase de ayuda y la fase de restablecimiento en función de la vulnerabilidad de los individuos, de las pérdidas sufridas y perturbaciones causadas por el desastre.

AbstractIntroductionPlanned and organized long-term rehabilitation services should be provided to victims of a disaster for social integration, economic self-sufficiency, and psychological health. There are few studies on recovery and rehabilitation issues in disaster situations. This study explores the disaster-related rehabilitation process.MethodThis study was based on qualitative analysis. Participants included 18 individuals (eight male and ten female) with experience providing or receiving disaster health care or services. Participants were selected using purposeful sampling. Data were collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews. All interviews were transcribed and content analysis was performed based on qualitative content analysis.ResultsThe study explored three main concepts of recovery and rehabilitation after a disaster: 1) needs for health recovery; 2) intent to delegate responsibility; and 3) desire for a wide scope of social support. The participants of this study indicated that to provide comprehensive recovery services, important basic needs should be considered, including the need for physical rehabilitation, social rehabilitation, and livelihood health; the need for continuity of mental health care; and the need for family re-unification services. Providing social activation can help reintegrate affected people into the community.ConclusionEffective rehabilitation care for disaster victims requires a clear definition of the rehabilitation process at different levels of the community. Involving a wide set of those most likely to be affected by the process provides a comprehensive, continuous, culturally sensitive, and family-centered plan.KhankehH, NakhaeiM, MasoumiG, HosseiniM, Parsa-YektaZ, KurlandL, CastrenM.

The Impact

As a result of globalisation, destination marketing has become essential as cities, states, regions and countries compete with one another to attract huge investment and tourists (Baker & Cameron, 2008). In order for these destinations to compete effectively, it is essential to explore how natural disasters may have impacted the destination. Basic utilities such as water resources could have been impacted by natural disasters. To date, little is known on the impact of natural disasters on the water supply which may directly and indirectly affect the image of a destination. Information on the characteristics of natural disasters, namely floods and drought, (i.e., the time duration, location and the severity) based on the individual destination are also not known. Hence, the main objective of this study is to understand the economic and socio-economic aspects of natural disasters on water supply. To fulfill the research gap, a qualitative study was performed. Specifically, two focus group discussions were executed on household representatives of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur in regard to natural disasters like floods and droughts. Based on the research findings, there is no issue of water supply associated with the flood crisis. However, there are mix opinions on the correlation of droughts and the water supply, with majority believing that there is no correlation between droughts and water supply in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. The findings of this qualitative study may serve as the foundation for a quantitative study (i.e., developing sets of questionnaires), and may contribute for policymakers and water utility providers in comprehending the issues and taking precautions prior to the occurrence of natural disasters.

The article establishes the influence of psychoemotional stress on the psychological state of mothers who gave birth to a premature baby, in contrast to women who gave birth to a child with normal birth weight. The hypothesis of the study was that psychoemotional stress, due to premature birth in mothers, may be accompanied by a decrease in their resilience and a decrease in psychological adaptation. The individual psychological characteristics of the personality of women-mothers, the type and direction of emotional response, coping strategies, parental attitudes – indicators of the vitality and sociopsychological adaptation of women-mothers were investigated. As a result of the study, women raising a premature baby showed high emotional sensitivity and self-control, the predominance of self-accusatory reactions in emotional response to frustration, the use of non-adaptive coping strategies, which reduces vitality and reduces socio-psychological adaptation. The revealed psychological patterns can be used as targets of psychological correction in order to restore the psychological health of mothers and prevent deviations in the development of the child.

AbstractPurposeExploring the effect of COVID-19 diagnosis on the individual has not been explored through an exploratory qualitative approach. This study aims to explore the physical, social, and psychological impact of the diagnosis on the individual through online interviews.MethodA qualitative study approach using online interviews was conducted. A sample of 30 participants of different age groups, gender, and nationalities were interviewed to explore the impact of a positive COVID-19 diagnosis on their physical, mental, social, psychological health, and lifestyle practices. An interview guide was created based on coping strategy model and conceptual framework of coping strategies. All interviews were recorded then transcribed after obtaining written consent from participants. Ethics approval was obtained from the United Arab Emirates Social Science Ethics Committee. NVIVO software was used for thematic analysis based on both identified coping models to highlight the most important feelings and emotions, family support, and changes in lifestyle that may impact the COVID-19 patient and family. Researchers identified the themes separately and then verified themes in one meeting.ResultsMajor themes include the physical effects, social effects, psychological effects, spiritual effects, and lifestyle effects. Emerging themes include coping mechanisms, trust in authorities and health care system, appreciation of the role of the government, conspiracy theories, and media roles. Those who had a positive infection towards the end of 2020 and in 2021 described having fewer negative emotions and better psychological resilience.ConclusionThe findings of this study indicate that people diagnosed with COVID-19 have perceived a very good support in terms of their physical health from the government and health authorities, but require social, psychological, and educational support during the infection period and post-recovery.

Psychodrama is a therapeutic method in which the stage is used to enact and reenact life events with the aim of instilling, among other positive changes, hope and empowerment in a wide range of populations suffering from psychological duress. The therapeutic process in psychodrama moves away from the classic treatment of the individual in isolation to treatment of the individual in the context of a group. In domestic violence situations, in which abusive men seek to socially isolate their victims from family and friends, the social support that psychodrama provides can positively influence the psychological health and well-being of the participants. This qualitative study examines the manner in which psychodramatic treatment can empower abused women residing in domestic violence shelters and help them regain control of their lives. An action research study of domestic violence survivors living in a women's shelter in Israel, over a 12-month period, demonstrates the role of psychodrama therapy in promoting the reduction of anxiety, stress, guilt, and self-blame, while reinforcing perceptions of self-worth and confidence. These findings contribute to our understanding of the potential of psychodrama in helping reshape life roles and reframe experiences within a creative process, with the aim of facilitating a transition from powerlessness to powerfulness among vulnerable populations.

Anthropomorphization is the tendency to ascribe humanlike features and mental states, such as free will and consciousness, to nonhuman beings or inanimate agents. Two studies investigated the consequences of the anthropomorphization of nature on people’s willingness to help victims of natural disasters. Study 1 (N = 96) showed that the humanization of nature correlated negatively with willingness to help natural disaster victims. Study 2 (N = 52) tested for causality, showing that the anthropomorphization of nature reduced participants’ intentions to help the victims. Overall, our findings suggest that humanizing nature undermines the tendency to support victims of natural disasters.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the experiences of gender bias among women hospital CEOs and explore to what these female leaders attribute their success within a male-dominated hospital executive leadership milieu. Design/methodology/approach This qualitative study involved 12 women hospital CEOs from across Ontario, Canada. Purposeful sampling techniques and in-depth qualitative interview methods were used to facilitate discussion around experiences of gender and leadership. Findings Responses fell into two groups: the first group represented the statement “Gender inequality is alive and well”. The second group reflected the statement “Gender inequity is not significant, did not happen to me, and things are better now”. This group contained a sub-group with no consciousness of systemic discrimination and that claimed having no gendered experiences in their leadership journey. The first group described gender issues in various contexts, from the individual to the systemic. The second group was ambivalent about gender as a factor impacting leadership trajectories. Originality/value Representations of women’s leadership have become detached from feminism, with major consequences for women. This study reveals how difficult it is for some women CEOs to identify gender bias. The subtle everyday norms and practices within the workplace make it difficult to name and explain gender bias explicitly and may explain the challenges in understanding how it might affect a woman’s career path.
