Résumé
Les personnes touchées par les inondations font face à divers stresseurs qui augmentent leur niveau de stress, nuisent à leur santé mentale et ralentissent leur rétablissement. Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude mixte menée auprès de 680 répondants touchés par les inondations du printemps 2019 au Québec. L’objectif était d’identifier les stresseurs vécus et de mesurer leurs effets sur la santé mentale, notamment sur les symptômes dépressifs, l’anxiété, la détresse psychologique et le trouble de stress post-traumatique. Les résultats démontrent que les stresseurs, qu’ils soient primaires ou secondaires, ont des impacts significatifs sur la santé mentale des participants.

Abstract
Individuals affected by floods are exposed to a range of stressors that elevate stress levels, adversely affect mental health, and hinder recovery. This article presents findings from a mixed-methods study involving 680 respondents impacted by the 2019 spring floods in Quebec. The study aimed to identify the stressors experienced and evaluate their effects on mental health, focusing on symptoms of depression, anxiety, psychological distress, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Results indicate that both primary and secondary stressors significantly influence participants’ mental well-being, highlighting the need for targeted mental health support in post-disaster recovery efforts.
