Organizational Resilience During Times of Trauma

Author(s):  
Cynthia Calloway Rhone

Effective communication and resilience are integral components in an organization's structure, particularly during and after situations of trauma. Trauma includes both internal factors (i.e., layoffs, mergers, unexpected changes in management, lack of positive social support) and external factors (natural disasters, economic insecurity, social violence). An organization's level of resilience to these factors is determined by the event's type, timing, location, rate of recurrence, and duration. In addition, proactive planning impacts organizational resilience. This chapter will focus on the importance of resilience during times of trauma, how resilience relates to leadership, and mental health experiences by employees.

Objective: To determine how young people are likely to respond to a peer with mental illness, or who has severe behavioural problems. Method: A mental health literacy survey was conducted with 1137 adolescents in years 8, 9 and 10 in South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. Respondents were presented with a vignette of either a 16-year-old boymeeting criteria for conduct disorder or a 16-year-old girl meeting criteria for major depression. As part of the survey, respondents were asked to write in words what they would do if the person in the vignette was a friend of theirs and they wished to help. Responses were coded into categories. Results: Over half the sample (53%) described positive social support as the only action they would take to help. A further 23% said they would engage an adult such as a parent, teacher or school counsellor to help with the situation. Those responding to the conduct disorder vignette were more likely to describe engaging an adult to help and males were more likely to say they would do nothing. Female students tended to answer differently to the conduct disorder and depression vignettes, while male students responded similarly to the two vignettes. Conclusions: Many adolescents do not respond to friends' distress in ways which are likely to facilitate appropriate help. Mental health education in schools should include skills for offering help and encouraging peers to seek help.

This study aims to describe the psychological dynamics and factors that cause one schizophrenic spectrum disorder that is schizoaffective for the symptoms of schizophrenia and affective disorders that stand out at the same time. This research is a qualitative case study with one participant, Joko who is diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. The examination used interviews, observation, and several psychological tests. The results show that there are internal factors such as personality, coping skills, genetic vulnerability and external factors such as social support and unfulfilled affection and stressors as triggers that contribute to schizoaffective disorders. The results of the study can be a reference to prevent schizoaffective disorders through psychoeducation to families and help people with schizoaffective disorders by providing interventions to train emotional regulation and coping skills.

Health consequences and key communication processes that emerge during disasters vary by type of disaster. The types of disasters that researchers have most investigated are rapid-onset natural disasters and slowly-evolving human-caused disasters. Three types of communication processes occur in disasters that have implications for health. The first set of communication processes involves the social dynamics of affected communities. Communities that experience natural disasters tend to exhibit an emergent altruistic community; community members join together to support each other in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. In contrast, community conflict is the hallmark of slowly-evolving environmental disasters. That conflict triggers a cascade of social dynamics that infests close personal relationships with interpersonal conflict, stigmatization of victims and advocates, and pressures to avoid open communication (i.e., social constraints) regarding the disaster and its traumatic effects. These dynamics contribute to elevated mental health problems. The second set of communication processes focuses specifically on social support. Supportive communication processes and networks are important resources for coping with ongoing disasters and for mitigating their longer-term mental health effects. Due to differences in community-level social dynamics, patterns of social support evolve differently in natural versus human-caused disasters. Natural disasters are typified by immediate intra-community social support. Community members support each other in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Ultimately this social support is overwhelmed by the disaster’s needs and deteriorates. As a result, communities are largely dependent on internal and external institutional sources to meet community members’ needs. In contrast, slowly-evolving human-caused disasters tend to exhibit the emergence of corrosive communities. In these communities, those most affected by the disasters (those whose health is harmed or who claim other harmful or potentially harmful effects, and those who function as advocates) tend to experience failed or diminished social support. Whereas the community may previously have been altruistic, mutual help either fails to emerge or is withdrawn in the disaster context. Failed social support contributes to the relatively worse mental health consequences of slowly-evolving human-caused disasters when compared to natural disasters. The third set of communication processes relate to institutional responses in disasters. In natural disasters, institutional communication is driven largely by widely disseminated and applied models that are intended to prevent harm and to provide resources to address harm and to reduce further negative consequences to health and well-being. Institutions and their agencies provide resources immediately following the disaster to meet basic human needs and, thereafter, to restore normalcy to the community and thereby protect community members’ physical and mental health. These efforts assume that natural disasters unfold in predictable stages (i.e., preparedness, warning, post-disaster, recovery) and that institutions’ responses should vary according to the stage of the disaster. In contrast, no such response models exist for slowly-evolving human-caused disasters. Moreover, community members experiencing such disasters often encounter what they perceive as institutional failures by both community-based and external responding institutions. Often community institutions (e.g., business, government) are perceived as causing the disaster and/or minimizing it, if not denying its existence or covering it up. As a result, communities experiencing this class of disasters tend to develop substantial distrust for local and responding institutions.

Abstrak. Buku yang menjadi koleksi perpustakaan merupakan aset, sehingga harus dijaga betul kondisinya agar tidak hilang ataupun rusak. Koleksi rusak diartikan sebagai menurunnya kualitas koleksi sehingga tidak dapat dimanfaatkan secara maksimal. Pustakawan sangat perlu mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kerusakan koleksi perpustakaan. Faktor-faktor kerusakan disebabkan oleh: 1) Faktor internal yang berasal dari karakteristik kertas (termasuk faktor kimia); dan 2) Faktor eksternal berupa: lingkungan, manusia, bencana alam, maupun biota. Selanjutnya faktor lingkungan yang termasuk faktor fisika seperti halnya cahaya, pencemaran udara, temperatur / suhu, kelembaban udara, serta debu. Perlunya mengidentifikasi faktor kerusakan sedini mungkin, karena agar kerusakan koleksi segera bisa dideteksi lebih awal, penanganan koleksi bisa dilakukan secara hati-hati sesuai jenis koleksi dan tingkat kerusakannya, sehingga koleksi dapat terjaga atau terpelihara dengan baik. Kata kunci: karakteristik kertas, lingkungan, manusia, bencana alam, biota, koleksi  Abstract. Books that become collections of libraries are assets, so it must be kept so that conditions are not lost or damaged. Broken collections are interpreted as decreasing the quality of the collection so they can not be fully utilized. Librarians need to know the factors that affect the damage of library collections. The damaging factors are caused by: 1) Internal factors deriving from paper characteristics (including chemical factors); and 2) External factors such as: environment, humans, natural disasters, and biota. Then environment factor like physical factors, for example: light, air pollution, temperature, humidity, and dust. The need to identify the damaging factors as early as possible, because to the deterioration of the collections there soon can be detected early, collections can be handled carefully according to the type of collection and the extent of the damage, and there fore the collection can be well maintained.

Abstract. Background: Suicide ideation is a prerequisite for suicide attempts. However, the majority of ideators will never act on their thoughts. It is therefore crucial to understand factors that differentiate those who consider suicide from those who make suicide attempts. Aim: Our aim was to investigate the role of protective factors in differentiating non-ideators, suicide ideators, and suicide attempters. Method: Inpatients without suicide ideation ( n = 32) were compared with inpatients with current suicide ideation ( n = 37) and with inpatients with current suicide ideation and a lifetime history of suicide attempts ( n = 26) regarding positive mental health, self-esteem, trust in higher guidance, social support, and reasons for living. Results: Non-ideators reported more positive mental health, social support, reasons for living, and self-esteem than suicide ideators and suicide attempters did. No group differences were found regarding trust in higher guidance. Suicide ideators and suicide attempters did not differ regarding any of the study variables. Limitations: Results stem from a cross-sectional study of suicide attempts; thus, neither directionality nor generalizability to fatal suicide attempts can be determined. Conclusion: Various protective factors are best characterized to distinguish ideators from nonsuicidal inpatients. However, the same variables seem to offer no information about the difference between ideators and attempters.
