Research on Psychological Crisis Intervention Strategies under Emergencies: An Analysis Based on the Four-Party Evolutionary Game

The study of multi-subject psychological crisis intervention under emergencies is of great significance for maintaining the psychological states of public groups. A government’s strict regulation can stimulate social responsibility in medical institutions and communities, increase the probability that positive behavioral strategies might be chosen, and accelerate the implementation of psychological crisis intervention. In this paper, we constructed a four-party dynamic evolutionary game model containing the government, medical institutions, communities, and the public; analyzed the asymptotic stability conditions of the behavioral strategies of each player in the game; and explored the impact of the changes of the relevant key parameters in the model on the strategic choices of the players via use of Matlab 2020a simulation. The results of the study show that there are complex interactions and competitive relationships between the subjects of the game in emergencies, and that different intervention strategies can have different impacts on the behavior and outcomes of the subjects. The accountability of superiors increases the probability that there will be strict government regulation and enhances the robustness of medical institutions and communities to choose positive behaviors. A government’s decision to increase incentives and penalties may urge healthcare providers to provide active treatment and the community to provide safety and security, while also reducing the cost of public participation in supervision and reducing resource waste. By analyzing strategic choices made by subjects under a four-party game, a perfect countermeasure can be formulated to help the public form a positive psychological coping mechanism in the event of emergencies, and to provide support and help for their peers. Thus, the psychological health of the group can be better maintained, and extreme negative emotions and behaviors can be avoided. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the rationality of the research conclusions and provide reference suggestions by which to improve the psychological crisis intervention system.

Using CQR, we interviewed nine counselors(Level 1 of the KCPA, KCA). As a result, 17 domains and 37 categories were identified. The main results are as follows. First, decent work components were reasonable income stable employment, and safe and comfortable working conditions. These organizational cultures acknowledge the specialty of counseling, welfare for counselors' growth, and setting up a crisis intervention system. Second, resources included continuous training, previous job experience, earning degrees and licenses, and peer network. Barriers were found challenging to maintain a stable livelihood and balance with private life. Third, as tasks for more decent work, developing qualifications and speaking out against unfair treatment were suggested. Besides, improvement of unpaid training, informing about counseling, and governmental licensure system were discussed. In the future, we can look at the concept of decent work for male counselors or follow up on the development of a decent counseling job measurement scale.

Our results showed that the emotional changes of members ranged from shock to depression to positive. The public's emotions swiftly changed from stress, anxiety, and isolation, to the hope of returning to work or finding a job during the pandemic with the help of OESAG. OESAG has effectively regulated the negative emotions of members by conducting psychological crisis intervention to provide members a space to communicate with each other, especially the female and frontline staff.

Mental Health Status of Healthcare Workers in China for COVID-19 Epidemic.

Background:COVID-19 first appeared in China in December 2019, with a high rate of infectivity and morbidity, which brought tremendous psychological pressure to healthcare workers.Purpose:To understand the psychological health status of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 outbreak and decline, and to provide a theoretical reference for the future establishment of a psychological crisis intervention system.Methods:Healthcare workers were recruited using convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods, and the electronic version of the SCL-90 scale and a sociodemographic questionnaire were administered. In the pretest, a total of 5018 responses were collected; after six weeks, random sampling was performed. The SCL-90 and measures of other epidemic-related problems were administered, with 1570 responses received; then, the final data analysis was performed.Results:After six weeks, the post-test GSI score; SCL-90 total score; and PST, PSDI, O-C, I-S, DEP, ANX, PHOB, PAR, PSY, and HOS scores were significantly lower than the corresponding pretest scores (p < 0.05). The results by occupational category showed that the scores of nursing staff decreased significantly for 12 indexes and that the scores of the doctors and other hospital staff also significantly decreased. There was a significant difference between the pretest (50.78 ± 28.18) and post-test (45.00 ± 28.49) scores for the degree of worry about the epidemic. Healthcare workers believed that the top three aspects of life affected by the epidemic were economic problems (816 people), interpersonal communication problems (731 people), and mental health (728 people).Conclusion:Over the course of the epidemic, the item scores generally declined significantly. Therefore, during an outbreak period, attention should be paid to psychological crisis interventions for healthcare workers; problems caused by psychological pressure, and even other psychological conditions, can be significantly alleviated to reduce the probability of subsequent health problems.

Therapeutic crisis intervention system in residential care for children and youth: Staff knowledge, attitudes, and coping styles

About ten years ago, several residential treatment facilities for children and youth in Israel were given approval to use the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention System (TCI, ‘holding’) technique in order to proactively restrain violent behavior. The purpose of the current study was to examine attitudes toward TCI among staff of residential facilities for children and youth and the association between staff attitudes and between their knowledge and coping strategies with stressful daily situations. A unique aspect of this study is its emphasis on the staff's coping style in stressful situations and the relationship between their coping style and their use of TCI. The research population consisted of staff members who work in residential facilities for children and youth at risk (n=100), half of whom had been trained to perform TCI and to implement the method in their work. No differences in knowledge were found between participants who had been trained and those who had not, while the former even displayed incomplete knowledge and unwillingness to perform TCI when necessary. In addition, the more problem-oriented the coping style the less positive the attitude toward use of TCI and the less the tool was used. No relationship was found between emotion-oriented coping style and attitudes and frequency of using TCI as a means of intervention. The study shows the complexity involved in introducing the method of TCI as well as the necessary caution that must be taken before deciding to use it.

Evaluating and Monitoring the Impact of a Crisis Intervention System on a Residential Child Care Facility

Evaluating and Monitoring the Impact of a Crisis Intervention System on a Residential Child Care Facility

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM): a statistical review of the literature.

Crisis intervention has emerged over the last 50 years as a proven method for the provision of urgent psychological support in the wake of a critical incident or traumatic event. The history of crisis intervention is replete with singular, time-limited interventions. As crisis intervention has evolved, more sophisticated multicomponent crisis intervention systems have emerged. As they have appeared in the extant empirically-based literature, their results have proven promising. A previously published paper narratively reviewed the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) model of multicomponent crisis intervention. The purpose of this paper was to offer a statistical review of CISM as an integrated multicomponent crisis intervention system. Using the methodology of meta-analysis, a review of eight CISM investigations revealed a Cohen's d of 3.11. A fail-safe number of 792 was similarly obtained.
