Adapting the Stress First Aid Model for Frontline Healthcare Workers during Covid-19
The coronavirus pandemic has generated and continues to create unprecedented demands on our healthcare systems. Healthcare workers (HCWs) face physical and psychological stresses caring for critically ill patients, including experiencing anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress symptoms. Nurses and nursing staff disproportionately experienced COVID-19-related psychological distress due to their vital role in infection mitigation and direct p…
Evaluation of the Implementation of the NFFF Stress First Aid Intervention in Career Fire Departments
Firefighting is inherently dangerous, though recently concerns have shifted from traditional fireground injuries (burns and asphyxiation) to a focus on mental and behavioral health. Although firefighters are remarkably resilient, research suggests many suffer negative psychological consequences from repeated exposures to trauma. While the Stress First Aid (SFA) model has gained increased attention and adoption among fire departments as a model fo…
An Open Label Pilot Study of a Brief Psychosocial Intervention for Disaster and Trauma Survivors
This study provides preliminary evidence that the delivery of the SOLAR program after disaster by trained, frontline workers with little or no mental health experience is feasible, acceptable, safe, and beneficial in reducing psychological symptoms and impairment among disaster survivors. Randomized controlled trials of the SOLAR program are required to advance evidence of its efficacy
Cosmetics, Greece and Rome
The Greek term from which the English noun “cosmetics” is derived ( kosmetika ) referred to substances which protected and preserved the hair, skin, eyes, and teeth. The use of these was distinguished from to kommotikon : the artificial enhancement of the appearance with face‐whitener, rouge, and eye makeup. Both types of cosmetic were widely employed by Greek and Roman women of all classes, including respectable married women, despite the strict…
Slavery, Rome
Slavery occupied an essential place in the fabric of Roman society; at its peak during the Late Republic, slaves accounted for around one third of the total population.
Stepfamily
In Greece and Rome, the frequency of remarriage following death or divorce ensured that stepfamilies were relatively common. Yet although conflicts arose as a result of disputes over inheritance, hostility between stepmothers and stepchildren, or stepfamily “incest,” it is only stepmothers who consistently received a bad press.
Postdisaster psychological intervention since 9/11
A wealth of research and experience after 9/11 has led to the development of evidence-based and evidence-informed guidelines and strategies to support the design and implementation of public mental health programs after terrorism and disaster. This article reviews advances that have been made in a variety of areas, including development of improved metrics and methodologies for conducting needs assessment, screening, surveillance, and program eva…
Five Essential Elements of Immediate and Mid–Term Mass Trauma Intervention
Given the devastation caused by disasters and mass violence, it is critical that intervention policy be based on the most updated research findings. However, to date, no evidence-based consensus has been reached supporting a clear set of recommendations for intervention during the immediate and the mid-term post mass trauma phases. Because it is unlikely that there will be evidence in the near or mid-term future from clinical trials that cover th…
Disaster Victims Speak
Results for 160 samples of disaster victims were coded as to sample type, disaster type, disaster location, outcomes and risk factors observed, and overall severity of impairment. In order of frequency, outcomes included specific psychological problems, nonspecific distress, health problems, chronic problems in living, resource loss, and problems specific to youth. Regression analyses showed that samples were more likely to be impaired if they we…
Disaster Victims Speak
On the basis of the literature reviewed in Part I of this two-part series (Norris, Friedman, Watson, Byrne, Diaz, and Kaniasty, this volume), the authors recommend early intervention following disasters, especially when the disaster is associated with extreme and widespread damage to property, ongoing financial problems for the stricken community, violence that resulted from human intent, and a high prevalence of trauma in the form of injuries, t…
