[Traumatic events and psychological support for caregivers].

When a major event such as a terrorist attack occurs, caregivers may not only be confronted with a life-endangering situation as they tend to the victims but are also faced with particularly harrowing scenes, the massive influx of seriously injured victims, the distress of the injured and their families and the disorganisation of the care structure. The psychological trauma must be treated on an individual or collective level.
