蓝蓝：看看美国对猪流感的心理防范

经过几次大的事件，发现美国机构，每当提出如何采取安全措施的同时，都很注意心理上的防范和医治。的确，面对大规模的恐慌袭击，很多人更需要清醒的理智和健康的心理。

下面是我校负责人给全校师生发出的一份邮件。从中不难看出，精神和物质双方面的准备都很重要。在此翻译出来，希望对我们有所帮助和借鉴。

Hello campus community：（校园社区你们好：）

It is expected that the constant stream of information and news reports about swine flu can lead to increased levels of anxiety for any person. （预计有关猪流感的源源不断的消息和报道会增加每个人的焦虑程度。）

These reactions are typical, especially if there are some uncertainties about the spread and severity of the disease. However, there are several steps that we would like to encourage you to take to manage those feelings and maintain a positive outlook. （这些反应很典型，特别是当疾病的传染范围和严重程度还不确定的时候。但是，我们提供几个步骤，鼓励您用来对付那些感觉并保持一个积极的态度）

1. Please get the facts! A credible source is news from the U.S. Center for Disease Control (http://cdc.gov/swineflu/) （请了解事实真相！可信的消息来源是美国疾病与控制中心）

2. Avoid assumptions and rumors from speculators. This can add to feelings of anxiety and despair. （回避投机者的假设和传言。这些会增加焦虑和绝望的感觉）

3. Keep things in perspective: What is being said about treatment available for those who do acquire the disease, and what prevention strategies are you aware of or that you are able to practice? （合理地面对事实。已经染上疾病的人知道哪些治疗方法可行吗？您知道哪些预防措施吗？哪些措施您可以采用呢？）

4. Maintain an optimistic outlook. Get updated information, but limit worry and agitation by lessening the time you spend watching for a prolonged period or listening to upsetting media coverage. （保持乐观的态度。获得最新消息，但是，要缩短时间，少看少听那些庸长且让人心烦意乱的新闻报道，以减少您的担心和不安。）

5. Stay healthy! Proper diet and exercise, and the practice of hygienic practices are your best defenses against many disease threats. （保持健康！饮食适度，加强锻炼。良好的卫生习惯是您对付多种疾病的最好防御武器。）

6. Increase your resilience. A professor said it best today: “I will also suggest drink plenty of fluid ( water preferred) , prime up your immune system with vitamin C, stay home if you show flu-like symptoms and get flu-vaccination if you are at high risk.” （增强抵抗力。一个教授今天说的好：“我还建议多饮水（白水最好），摄取足够的维他命C来强壮免疫系统，如果您有感冒症状就呆在家里，如果您有危险就打流感育苗。”

7. Work on a plan. Think about how you might respond if this disease were discovered in your area. Working out some scenarios in advance can lessen your anxiety. （做出计划。想一想如果您的地区发现了疾病，您如何反应。预先设想一些情形会减轻您的焦虑。）

8. Get help! If you are having uncontrollable feelings of anxiety, trouble performing at work or other activities because of preoccupation with this news, please get help. Talk to someone about it and seek out the level of counsel that may be appropriate for you. （寻求帮助！如果因为太关注这些新闻，您有难以控制的焦虑感觉，如果您不能正常工作或进行其它活动，请寻求帮助。您可以和某人交谈，并寻找适合您的咨询服务。）
