Whether bereaved individuals have negative experiences with media reports and whether they are associated with post‐event mental health is unclear. This study evaluated these experiences and associations following the MH17‐disaster. How media reports were experienced (nine topics, modified MAS), depression symptoms (QIDS‐SR), functional problems (WSAS) and event‐related coping‐self‐efficacy (CSE) were assessed about one year post‐disaster (May‐August 2015) among Dutch bereaved (<italic>N</italic> = 152). A substantial minority reported negative experiences such as reports <italic>made me angry</italic> (30%) and <italic>made me sad</italic> (48%). Latent profile analysis with symptoms, problems and coping self‐efficacy as indicators, identified four classes of post‐disaster mental health: a Well‐functioning(class 1), 35.1%; a Mild‐problems(class 2), 30.4%; a Sub‐clinical(class 3), 27.0%; and a Clinical(class 4), 7.4%. Differences in symptoms, problems and coping self‐efficacy levels between classes were large according to Cohen's <italic>d</italic>s. Multivariate logistic regression (MLR) showed that the Clinical(class 4) compared to the Well‐functioning(class 1), more often that felt that reports strongly “embarrassed me,” “made me feel sad,” “filled me with fear” and “served as a magnifying glass.” Future research should assess opportunities and effects of limiting media consumption. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
