Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to develop a Korean version of psychological first aid training program (K-PFA) and examine the education effect on trainees.
Methods
This study enrolled 485 subjects who completed both K-PFA and study surveys. In addition to mental health professionals, subjects with various ages and educational backgrounds were included to examine the education effects of the capabilities in conducting PFA and understanding acute phase disaster mental health (DMH).
Results
Both mental health professionals and non-professionals improved their understanding of acute-phase DMH intervention and their perceived capabilities in conducting PFA.
Conclusion
The development of a DMH intervention-training program adapted to Korean domestic circumstances and culture represents a significant step towards a comprehensive and individualized intervention for disaster survivors.
