Abstract
Objective To study the critical incident stress reactions of aircraft mishap and the application of an intervention program in order to reduce the negative psychological impact and promote recovery. Methods The design is case–control study based on general practitioners’ medical records. A crisis intervention program was developed to cope with stress of aircraft mishap and applied after an accident. The crisis impact was measured by interview; data review and intervention effectiveness were analyzed. Results The most popular symptoms within 72 h include worried, anxious, sleep problems, disturbed appetite. Heart rate, white blood cells count, and urine protein concentration of a survival pilot through ejection increased immediately following the accident though he claimed very mild discomfort. CISM intervention included 2 defusings for 50 people, 2 CISDs for 12 people, and 2 individual counselings for 2 people. Conclusion Stress reaction occurs after aircraft mishap, and intervention program should be activated as early as possible.
