    The Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami of the 11 th of March 2011 was followed by a nuclear accident. This study aim to identify the exposure to stress, the psychosocial impact and information need of the French Nationals who were in Japan at this time as well as the care they were looking for. A qualitative study based on 10 semi-structured interviews of French nationals was carried out between June and October 2013. They were chosen among the French who answered to the registry launched by the InVS considering the importance of the event. The interviews were face to face (7 in France, 2 in Japan) except for one in Japan that was performed by videoconference.This study confirms the impact of this disaster on real life experience. Some interviewed relate anxious and thymic manifestations or impacts on personality that might lead to seek care, even two years after the events. Beyond stress factors usually linked to natural disaster, this study showed that the issue of information was considerable, in particular about nuclear contamination that makes the feeling of worrying long lasting. Living abroad is a specificity that modifies the experience of such extreme events. This experience influenced the life-course of the exposed. These results will be useful for future post-disaster epidemiological studies. They plaid also for registering involved people as well as preparing appropriate and sustained information and mental health screening which allows people to stay active in their choices and decisionsLe sĂ©isme survenu au Japon le 11 mars 2011 a entraĂźnĂ© un tsunami et un accident nuclĂ©aire. L’objectif de cette Ă©tude est de mieux connaĂźtre, pour les ressortissants français prĂ©sents, les expositions aux facteurs de stress liĂ©s Ă  ces Ă©vĂ©nements, ainsi que l’impact psychosocial et les besoins d’information et de prise en charge qui en ont rĂ©sultĂ©.Une Ă©tude qualitative par entretiens semi-directifs a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e auprĂšs d’une dizaine de personnes sĂ©lectionnĂ©es parmi celles qui avaient rĂ©pondu Ă  l’enregistrement proposĂ© par l’InVS. Les entretiens se sont dĂ©roulĂ©s entre juin et octobre 2013 en face Ă  face (7 en France, 2 au Japon) ou par visioconfĂ©rence pour une personne domiciliĂ©e au Japon. Les rĂ©sultats confirment le vĂ©cu bouleversant de cette catastrophe multiple pouvant contribuer, parfois Ă  distance de l’évĂ©nement, Ă  la survenue de manifestations anxieuses, thymiques ou des modifications de la personnalitĂ© qui peuvent nĂ©cessiter un recours aux soins. Les facteurs de stress classiquement identifiĂ©s en rapport avec les catastrophes naturelles sont retrouvĂ©s. La question de l’information a Ă©tĂ© centrale, notamment au sujet de la contamination radiologique suscitant une inquiĂ©tude prolongĂ©e. L’expatriation est une situation particuliĂšre qui modifie les modalitĂ©s de vĂ©cu de tels Ă©vĂ©nements. Cette expĂ©rience a sensiblement influencĂ© ou prĂ©cipitĂ© des dĂ©cisions relatives Ă  l’existence. Ces rĂ©sultats vont ĂȘtre utilisĂ©s pour planifier les Ă©tudes Ă©pidĂ©miologiques post-catastrophe. Ils confirment l'importance d'un enregistrement initial des personnes impliquĂ©es et d'une offre d’information et de dĂ©pistage adaptĂ©e et maintenue dans le long terme qui donne aux personnes exposĂ©es la possibilitĂ© de rester actives dans leurs choix et leurs dĂ©cisions

    Mental health impact among hospital staff in the aftermath of the Nice 2016 terror attack: the ECHOS de Nice study

    BACKGROUND: The Nice terror attack of July 14, 2016 resulted in 84 deaths and 434 injured, with many hospital staff exposed to the attack, either as bystanders on site at the time of the attack ('bystander exposure') who may or may not have provided care to attack victims subsequently, or as care providers to victims only ('professional exposure only'). The objective of this study is to describe the impact on mental health among hospital staff by category of exposure with a particular focus on those with 'professional exposure only', and to assess their use of psychological support resources. METHOD: An observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study conducted from 06/20/2017 to 10/31/2017 among all staff of two healthcare institutions in Nice, using a web questionnaire. Collected data included social, demographic and professional characteristics; trauma exposure category ('bystanders to the attack'; 'professional exposure only'; 'unexposed'); indicators of psychological impact (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale); PTSD (PCL-5) level; support sought. Responders could enter open comments in each section of the questionnaire, which were processed by inductive analysis. RESULTS: 804 staff members' questionnaires were analysed. Among responding staff, 488 were exposed (61%): 203 were 'bystanders to the attack', 285 had 'professional exposure only'. The staff with 'professional exposure only' reported anxiety (13.2%), depression (4.6%), suicidal thoughts (5.5%); rates of full PTSD was 9.4% and of partial PTSD, 17.7%. Multivariate analysis in the 'professional exposure only' category showed that the following characteristics were associated with full or partial PTSD: female gender (OR = 2.79; 95% CI = 1.19-6.56, p = 0.019); social isolation (OR = 3.80; 95% CI = 1.30-11.16, p = 0.015); having been confronted with an unfamiliar task (OR = 3.04; 95% CI = 1.18-7.85; p = 0.022). Lastly, 70.6% of the staff with 'professional exposure only' with full PTSD did not seek psychological support. CONCLUSION: Despite a significant impact on mental health, few staff with 'professional exposure only' sought psychological support. Robust prevention and follow-up programs must be developed for hospital staff, in order to manage the health hazards they face when exposed to exceptional health-related events such as mass terror attacks. STUDY REGISTRATION: Ethical approval for the trial was obtained from the National Ethics Committee for Human Research (RCBID N° 2017-A00812-51)

    Impact psychologique des attentats du 13 novembre 2015 sur les intervenants des secours et des forces de l'ordre et analyse de leurs recours aux soins

    Because of their exposure to potentially traumatic events, first responders (FR) are at risk of developing mental health disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Thousands of first responders, including health professionals, firefighters, affiliated volunteers and police officers were mobilized following the 13 November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris and Saint-Denis. This thesis aims to measure the psychological impact on FR and its associated factors 12 months after the 13 November 2015 terrorist attacks as well as engagement in mental health care and its associated factors among FR. Data come from the « enquĂȘte de santĂ© publique post-attentats du 13 novembre 2015 » (ESPA 13 November survey). Prevalence of PTSD in our sample was 4.8%. Low educational level, social isolation, intervention on unsecured crime scenes and lack of training were associated with PTSD. Among FR with PTSD, partial PTSD or depression, 38% sought mental health care. Mental health care engagement was associated with a history of mental health care, post-immediate support and the presence of PTSD, partial PTSD or depression. Special attention should be given to FR in social isolation, those with low educational levels and those intervening in unsecured crime scenes. Our results underline the importance of helping exposed FR become aware of and recognize potential mental health symptoms after potential traumatic events, and of empowering them to openly disclose such symptoms with colleagues and/or professionals, as core components of their professional norms and skills. Interventions should be implemented to mitigate the stigma and barriers to seeking mental health care.En raison de leur exposition Ă  des Ă©vĂ©nements potentiellement traumatiques, les intervenants sont Ă  risque de dĂ©velopper des troubles de la santĂ© mentale comme le trouble de stress post-traumatique (TSPT). Des milliers d’intervenants, et notamment, des professionnels de santĂ©, des sapeurs-pompiers, des volontaires des associations de protection civile et des policiers, ont Ă©tĂ© mobilisĂ©s Ă  la suite des attentats du 13 novembre 2015 survenus Ă  Paris et Ă  Saint-Denis. Cette thĂšse a pour objectifs de dĂ©crire l’impact psychologique et les facteurs associĂ©s un an aprĂšs les attentats du 13 novembre chez les intervenants ainsi que le recours aux soins et les facteurs associĂ©s. Les donnĂ©es sont issues de l’enquĂȘte de santĂ© publique post-attentats du 13 novembre 2015. La prĂ©valence du TSPT dans notre Ă©chantillon Ă©tait de 4,8%. Le faible niveau d’études, le sentiment d’isolement social, l’intervention sur des lieux non sĂ©curisĂ©s et l’absence de sensibilisation aux risques psychologiques Ă©taient associĂ©s au TSPT. Parmi les intervenants prĂ©sentant un TSPT, un TSPT subsyndromique ou une dĂ©pression, 38% ont engagĂ© un suivi psychologique rĂ©gulier. Cet engagement Ă©tait associĂ© Ă  des antĂ©cĂ©dents de soins psychologiques, au soutien entre 48H et une semaine aprĂšs les attentats et Ă  la prĂ©sence d’un trouble de santĂ© mentale. Il est primordial d’aider les intervenants Ă  prendre conscience des risques, de les former Ă  reconnaitre les symptĂŽmes des troubles pouvant survenir et de les amener Ă  partager cela avec leurs collĂšgues ou des professionnels de santĂ©.

    International audienceIntroductionFollowing the attacks of November 13, 2015, SantĂ© Publique France set up an epidemiological survey. A first phase was carried out in 2016 then repeated in 2020, in order to understand the post-traumatic impact of the attacks. The survey consisted of closed and open-ended questions. We present here the analysis of the answers to the following open-ended questions: “Would you say that the attacks that your experienced has changed you in any way? Could you explain how?” We compare the answers given in 2016 and 2020.ObjectiveTo understand the individual impact of terrorist attacks on civilians between 2016 and 2020.MethodBased on a qualitative analysis, we compare the results at two different times and observe the evolution of these responses. The material is composed of short testimonials related to the question of interest and are processed by thematic analysis inspired by grounded theory. We analyze the responses from 2016 and 2020 independently, and then compare the emerging themes.ResultsThe results highlight the presence of symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, with symptoms of intrusion, persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the traumatic event, altered cognition and mood changes in arousal and reactivity related to the traumatic event, significant suffering, and sometimes dissociative elements. Five years after the attacks, disorders are still present in some subjects. The most distressed ones present a profile with no projection into the future, living from day to day, sometimes associated with risky behaviors. The meaning of their existence eludes them. Another part of the respondents tries to find meaning in their lives. They are looking for new life projects. The process of transforming their individuality is underway. Finally, for others whose profiles appear in the 2020 testimonials, changes have been made, they have been able to mourn their past life, who they were, and overcome their trauma. They are resilient and, in some cases, show psychic functioning suggestive of post-traumatic growth.ConclusionThe psychological impact of terrorist attacks on civilians is still very much present with important suffering, but some form of adaptation in the form of resilience or even post-traumatic growth is underway for some five years after the November 2015 attacks.IntroductionAprĂšs les attentats du 13 novembre 2015, SantĂ© Publique France a mis en place une enquĂȘte Ă©pidĂ©miologique : l’EnquĂȘte de SantĂ© publique Post-Attentats de novembre 2015 (ESPA 13 novembre). Une premiĂšre phase a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e en 2016, puis rĂ©itĂ©rĂ©e en 2020, afin de connaĂźtre l’impact post-traumatique des attentats. Elle se compose de questions fermĂ©es et de questions ouvertes. Nous exposons ici l’analyse des rĂ©ponses des populations civiles aux questions ouvertes suivantes : « Diriez-vous que l’expĂ©rience que vous avez vĂ©cue vous a changĂ©, d’une maniĂšre ou d’une autre ? Pourriez-vous nous expliquer en quoi ? ». Nous comparons les rĂ©ponses apportĂ©es en 2016 et 2020.ObjectifIl s’agit de connaĂźtre l’impact individuel des attentats sur les personnes civiles et son Ă©volution entre 2016 et 2020.MĂ©thodeS’appuyant sur une analyse qualitative, nous comparons les rĂ©sultats Ă  deux temps diffĂ©rents et observons l’évolution de ces rĂ©ponses. Le matĂ©riel est composĂ© de courts tĂ©moignages en lien avec la question d’intĂ©rĂȘt et sont traitĂ©s par analyse thĂ©matique inspirĂ©e de la grounded theory. Nous analysons les rĂ©ponses de 2016 et de 2020 indĂ©pendamment les unes des autres, puis comparons les thĂ©matiques Ă©mergeantes.RĂ©sultatsLes rĂ©sultats mettent en Ă©vidence la prĂ©sence de symptĂŽmes associĂ©s au trouble de stress post-traumatique avec des symptĂŽmes d’intrusion, de l’évitement persistant des stimuli associĂ©s Ă  l’évĂ©nement traumatique, une altĂ©ration des cognitions et de l’humeur, des modifications de l’état d’éveil et de la rĂ©activitĂ© liĂ©es Ă  l’évĂ©nements traumatique, une souffrance significative, et parfois des Ă©lĂ©ments dissociatifs. Cinq ans aprĂšs les attentats, on constate toujours la prĂ©sence de troubles chez une partie des sujets. Les plus en souffrance prĂ©sentent un profil figĂ© sans projection dans l’avenir, vivant au jour le jour avec parfois des conduites Ă  risques associĂ©es. Le sens de leur existence leur Ă©chappe. Une autre partie des rĂ©pondants tentent de trouver un sens Ă  leur vie. Ils cherchent de nouveaux projets de vie. Le processus de transformation de leur individualitĂ© est en cours. Pour d’autres, enfin, dont le profil apparaĂźt dans les tĂ©moignages de 2020, des changements ont Ă©tĂ© opĂ©rĂ©s : elles sont parvenues Ă  faire le deuil de leur vie passĂ©e, de ce qu’elles Ă©taient et Ă  surmonter leur traumatisme. Elles sont rĂ©silientes et, pour certaines, prĂ©sentent un fonctionnement psychique suggĂ©rant une croissance post-traumatique.ConclusionL’impact psychique des attentats sur les civils reste toujours prĂ©sent avec des manifestations de souffrance importantes, mais une certaine forme d’adaptation sous forme de rĂ©silience, voire de croissance post-traumatique, est engagĂ©e pour certains cinq ans aprĂšs les attentats de novembre 2015

    International audienceFollowing the November 13 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, thousands of first responders (rescue and law enforcement staff) intervened in Paris and Saint-Denis. A public health survey on first responders was set up. Its aims was to assess: 1) the psychological impact of these terror attacks on responders and associated factors, 2) the use of supports and health care by first responders. This paper presents the sociodemographic characteristics of this population, the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), and describes the vulnerability factors for PTSD.The study was carried out between July and November 2016. A media campaign and information were conducted to inform about the survey via a relay in each participating institution. The volunteers eligible for the survey were aged 16 or older and had intervened in connection with the attacks on the night of 13 November or within three weeks. They answered a highly secured web questionnaire about sociodemographic characteristics, psychiatric history, intervention’s conditions, preparedness, social support and current psychological state. PTSD was measured with the PCL-5 (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale, DSM5 version).Among the 837 persons that started to answer the survey, 698 individuals completed the questionnaire: 34% were health professionals, 30% from the Paris fire brigade, 20% from civil protection association, 14% from police forces and 2% from the staff of the cities of Paris and Saint-Denis). Prevalence of PTSD was estimated to be between 3.5% and 9.9% in the different populations. PTSD was associated with exposure, preparedness to psycho-traumatic events and social support (bivariate analyses).These exploratory results suggest the importance of training all the categories of first responders about stress management and consequences of psychotrauma. Further analyses are underway to confirm these preliminary results.Des milliers d’intervenants des secours et des forces de l’ordre ont Ă©tĂ© mobilisĂ©s suite aux attentats du 13 novembre 2015 Ă  Paris et Saint-Denis.

Cet article prĂ©sente les caractĂ©ristiques sociodĂ©mographiques de cette population, la prĂ©valence des troubles de stress post-traumatiques (TSPT) et dĂ©crit les facteurs de vulnĂ©rabilitĂ© pour le TSPT.L’enquĂȘte s’est dĂ©roulĂ©e de juillet Ă  novembre 2016. Pour informer sur l’existence de l’enquĂȘte, une campagne mĂ©diatique et une information, via un relais dans chaque institution participante, ont Ă©tĂ© menĂ©es. Les personnes volontaires Ă©ligibles Ă  l’enquĂȘte Ă©taient ĂągĂ©es de 16 ans ou plus et Ă©taient intervenues en lien avec les attentats la nuit du 13 novembre ou dans les trois semaines qui ont suivi.

Le TSPT a Ă©tĂ© mesurĂ© par la PCL-5 (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale, version DSM-5).Au total, sur les 837 personnes ayant commencĂ© Ă  rĂ©pondre Ă  l’enquĂȘte, 698 ont complĂ©tĂ© le questionnaire : 34% Ă©taient des professionnels de santĂ©, 30% des sapeurs-pompiers de Paris, 20% des associatifs de protection civile, 14% des forces de l’ordre et 2% des agents des villes de Paris ou Saint-Denis. Les prĂ©valences de TSPT variaient de 3,5% Ă  9,9% selon le type d’intervenant. L’intensitĂ© de l’exposition, la non-prĂ©paration aux Ă©vĂ©nements traumatogĂšnes et l’isolement social Ă©taient associĂ©s au TSPT.Ces rĂ©sultats exploratoires suggĂšrent l’importance du soutien social ainsi que la prĂ©paration Ă  la gestion du stress et aux consĂ©quences des traumatismes psychiques. Des analyses complĂ©mentaires sont actuellement menĂ©es pour confirmer ces premiers rĂ©sultats
