摘要
News journalists working on crisis-related assignments may experience dilemmas with regard to how to conduct their work without causing additional harm to first-hand victims. In this study, we investigated how exposure to journalistic ethical dilemmas during the Oslo/UtOya terror attack in 2011 and subsequent work-related guilt were related to the development of posttraumatic stress (PTS) reactions. Norwegian journalists (N = 371) covering the terror attack participated in a web-based survey 8-9 months after the incident. We found that females reported more ethical dilemmas during the assignment than males (n = 356, d = 0.51). We also found that being on the scene was not related to more exposure to dilemmas (n = 311, d = 0.01). Moreover, we discovered that work-related guilt had a significant indirect effect on the relationship between exposure to ethical dilemmas and severity of PTS reactions (n = 344, completely standardized indirect effect size = .11, 95% CI [.04, .19]. The results showed that exposure to ethical dilemmas may affect the development of long-term psychological impairment. We concluded that media organizations can prevent postcrisis impairment by preparing employees for possible exposure to dilemmas during crisis-related assignments. Resumen Periodistas de noticieros que trabajan en reportajes relacionados con crisis pueden enfrentar el dilema en la consideracion de como dirigir su trabajo para no ocasionar mayor dano a victimas directas. En este estudio exploratorio investigamos como la exposicion al dilema etico periodistico durante el ataque terrorista de Oslo/Isla de Utoya en 2011 y la culpa relacionada con el trabajo subsecuente se relaciono con el desarrollo de reacciones de estres postraumatico. Periodistas noruegos (n = 371), que trabajaron en el ataque terrorista, participaron en una encuesta virtual 8-9 meses despues del incidente. Encontramos que las mujeres tuvieron durante el trabajo mas dilemas eticos que los varones (n = 356, d = 0,51). Tambien encontramos que el estar en la escena no se relaciono con mayor exposicion al dilema etico (n = 311, d = 0.01). Ademas descubrimos que la culpa relacionada con el trabajo tuvo un efecto indirecto significativo en la relacion entre la exposicion al dilema etico y la severidad de reacciones de estres postraumatico, (n = 344, tamano del efecto indirecto completamente estandarizado = 11.95% CI [04, .19]. Los resultados mostraron que la exposicion al dilema etico puede afectar el desarrollo de un deterioro psicologico a largo plazo. Concluimos que las organizaciones de medios de comunicacion pueden prevenir deterioro postcrisis, preparando a sus empleados de posibles exposiciones a dilemas eticos durante asuntos periodisticos relacionados con crisis.
