Özet |
Disasters are characterized by the inability of the society to cope with sudden, unpredictable onset, large numbers of people affected by economic, environmental losses and destructive effects. It affects individuals (e.g. children, parents, first responders), emergency aid, non-governmental organizations (e.g. medical emergency teams, public health organizations, fire brigades) and society. Disasters are associated with a significant psychological burden for affected people. Psychosocial care aims to address mental health problems and needs. It includes all support and care for the psychological well-being and health of affected people during and after a disaster for individuals as well as for communities. Psychosocial care interventions are needed in the context of disasters or crises in the case of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) events. However, it is important to systematically investigate the impact on psychosocial care as CBRN events are a separate theme in emergency planning and disaster preparedness. In this study, general rules of psychosocial care in CBRN events are discussed and different psychosocial conditions in CBRN events are to be explained. General conclusion after examining literature studies related to psychosocial care in CBRN is that literature examined is either similar or complementary to the guidelines on psychosocial care. However, there are some significant differences on communication, exposure to CBRN agents, contamination and special preparation requirements for CBRN events. In our country, there are very few studies on psychosocial effects and psychosocial care of CBRN events. It is suggested that field studies could do a great contribution to the literature. |
