Abstract

|
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic literature review was to identify the contents and effects of Psychological First Aid (PFA) training for health personnel in previous studies.
Methods: This study followed the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). A systematic literature search was conducted using 10 electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, PsycINFO, RISS, KISS, KoreaMed, KMBASE, and NDSL. Search terms included ¡®PFA¡¯, ¡®disaster psychosocial support¡¯, ¡®education¡¯, ¡®intervention¡¯, and ¡®health personnel¡¯. Out of 390 studies retrieved, 8 studies were finally included in this systematic review. Quality of studies was assessed using the ROB-2 and RoBANS.
Result: Studies reported PFA based on WHO manual and other useful strategies including case study, role-play, simulation with standardized patients (SP), application (app), web-based simulation and etc. Overall, studies reported significant improvement in PFA knowledge, performance competence, and self-esteem of health personnel. Limitations of the included studies included a lack of rigorous methodological research design and possibility of risk of bias.
Conclusion: PFA training is useful in improving psychological intervention capabilities of health personnel in early disaster situations. These findings will serve as a foundation for the development of PFA training programs in Korean health care units and disaster preparedness institutes.
