Abstract
|
|
|
The Sewol Ferry accident in April of 2014 is considered one of the biggest tragedies in modern Korean history since most victims among the 304 deceased were high school students who were going on a field trip. The Sewol Ferry accident also became a milestone in changing the national disaster response and recovery system in Korea. New laws and policies are being suggested and developed currently. We interviewed 31 crisis responders from three emergency mental health service organizations which worked on the scene immediately after the Sewol Ferry accident with the purpose of finding out how the existing emergency mental health service system actually functioned and what could be improved. After an in-depth interview, we analyzed the data using the Qualitative Content Analysis(QCA) method. Based on our data, we suggested an integrated model of disaster response systems that could be included in the new policies in Korea.
