The aim of the study is to examine the long-term course of disaster-related experience among survivors of a terrorist bombing and the long-term recollection of initial workplace effects across nearly a quarter century.
From an initial randomly selected sample of highly trauma-exposed survivors of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, 103 participated in qualitative open-ended interviews about their bombing experience approximately 23 years after disaster.
The survivors described their bombing experience clearly with extensive detail and expression of persistent strong emotion. Their discussions reflected findings from earlier assessments and also continued over the course of the next decades to complete their stories of the course of their occupational and interpersonal postdisaster journeys.
Long-term psychosocial ramifications in these survivors' lives continue to warrant psychosocial interventions, such as occupational and interpersonal counseling.
本研究旨在探讨恐怖爆炸事件幸存者经历的长期影响,以及近四分之一个世纪以来对最初工作场所影响的长期回忆。
从 1995 年俄克拉荷马城爆炸事件中高度创伤幸存者的初始随机抽样样本中,有 103 人参加了关于他们大约 23 年后灾难经历的定性开放式访谈。
幸存者详细而清晰地描述了他们的爆炸经历,并表达了强烈的持久情绪。他们的讨论反映了早期评估的结果,而且在接下来的几十年里,他们继续讲述他们在职业和人际关系方面的灾后经历。
这些幸存者生活中的长期心理社会后果仍然需要进行心理社会干预,如职业和人际关系咨询。
