To investigate the psychological status and influencing factors of people involved in the August 29 collapse accident in Shanxi Province.

The self-designed general data questionnaire, Stanford acute stress response questionnaire(SASRQ), Patient health questionnaire depression(PHQ-9), and generalized anxiety disorder scale(GAD-7)were used to investigate 68 people involved in the August 29 collapse accident who were treated in a third grade A hospital in Shanxi Province.

26.50% of the staff had high level of acute stress disorder, 70.59% had depression, and 64.71% had anxiety. The total score of acute stress reaction was statistically significant in gender (P<0.05), the total score of depression was statistically significant in gender, occupation, monthly income and distance from the event point (P<0.05), and the total score of anxiety was statistically significant in gender, age, monthly income and distance from the event point (P<0.05). The total score and each dimension of SASRQ were positively correlated with the scores of depression and anxiety (P<0.01).

After the sudden collapse, special attention should be paid to women, people close to the accident center and unemployed.
