When the psychosocial-care scheme for victims of the firework explosion in Enschede, the Netherlands (2000) was set up, lessons learned from the Bijlmer airline disaster (Amsterdam 1992) were put into practice. The aftermath of this incident showed that psychological and physical health problems can still occur many years later. The main failure of the aftercare of the Bijlmer disaster lay in the coordination of aid and the monitoring of health problems. In Enschede steps were taken to redress these problems. An information and advice centre (IAC) was set up to monitor the well-being of the victims, and to provide them with information and, where necessary, assistance. It is responsible for limiting the effects of the disaster. A total of 13,000 people have consulted the IAC. A residents' association was formed. This gave the victims a common voice during the process of attempting to restore normality in their lives. A specialized mental health-care unit was founded to treat disaster-related disorders using evidence-based treatments. So far approximately 1,300 people have consulted this body. A longitudinal study has been set up to map the consequences of the disaster and to advise aid organizations. This will also give information on the extent to which these methods have been able to limit the long-term consequences.
荷兰埃因霍温烟花爆炸事故(2000年)受害者心理社会关怀计划设立时,借鉴了比荷梅尔空难(阿姆斯特丹,1992年)的经验教训并付诸实践。该事件的后续情况表明,多年后心理和身体健康问题仍可能出现。比荷梅尔灾难后续护理的主要失败之处在于援助协调和健康问题监测。在埃因霍温已采取措施纠正这些问题。设立了一个信息与咨询中心(IAC),以监测受害者的福祉,为他们提供信息,并在必要时提供援助。它负责减轻灾难的影响。共有13000人咨询了该信息与咨询中心。成立了一个居民协会。这使受害者在努力恢复正常生活的过程中有了共同的声音。设立了一个专门的心理健康护理部门,采用循证治疗方法治疗与灾难相关的疾病。到目前为止,约有1300人咨询了该部门。开展了一项纵向研究,以梳理灾难的后果并为援助组织提供建议。这也将提供有关这些方法在多大程度上能够限制长期后果的信息。
