Features

During an influenza pandemic, healthcare workers will be on the front lines delivering care to patients and preventing further spread of the disease. As the nation prepares for pandemic influenza, multiple avenues for protecting the health of the public are being carefully considered, ranging from rapid development of appropriate vaccines to quarantine plans should the need arise for their implementation. One vital aspect of pandemic influenza planning is the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)—the respirators, gowns, gloves, face shields, eye protection, and other equipment that will be used by healthcare workers and others in their day-to-day patient care responsibilities.

The Oklahoma City bombing, intentional crashing of airliners on September 11,2001, and anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001 have made Americans acutely awareof the impacts of terrorism. These events and continued threats of terrorism haveraised questions about the impact on the psychological health of the nation andhow well the public health infrastructure is able to meet the psychological needsthat will likely result. Preparing for the Psychological Consequences of Terrorism highlightssome of the critical issues in responding to the psychological needs that resultfrom terrorism and provides possible options for intervention. The committee offersan example for a public health strategy that may serve as a base from which plansto prevent and respond to the psychological consequences of a variety of terrorismevents can be formulated. The report includes recommendations for the trainingand education of service providers, ensuring appropriate guidelines for the protectionof service providers, and developing public health surveillance for preevent,event, and postevent factors related to psychological consequences.
