Factors associated with adverse mental health outcomes in locally recruited aid workers assisting Iraqi refugees in Jordan
Eriksson Cynthia B , Cardozo Barbara Lopes , Ghitis Frida , Sabin Miriam , Crawford Carol Gotway , Zhu Julia , Rijnen Bas , Kaiser Reinhard . J Aggress Maltreat Trauma 2013 22 (6) 660-680 Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) serve Iraqis living in Jordan as "guests." In 2008, 258 Jordanian humanitarian staff and Iraqi volunteers working for NGOs completed a needs assessment survey. Work characteristics, stressors, and support variables were evaluated regarding their influence on depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and burnout through multivariate logistic regressions. There was a significant difference in depression, anxiety, and burnout across nationality. Traumatic exposure increased the risk for anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Working longer in the humanitarian sector was associated with less risk of anxiety and depression, and lower social support was a risk for anxiety. Managers were at higher risk for burnout, and low team cohesion was a risk for burnout. Implications for aid organizations are discussed. |
