Abstract

Understanding the healthcare needs of bereaved individuals following terrorism is crucial for organizing healthcare services. This cross-sectional study examined the terror-related healthcare needs, healthcare utilization, and satisfaction with professional healthcare among 122 traumatically bereaved parents and siblings eight years after the 2011 Utøya terrorist attack in Norway. Results showed that over 50% of the participants currently needed help coping with their grief or with mental and somatic symptoms, and only 34% were actively utilizing healthcare related to the terror attack. Furthermore, 68% reported not getting sufficient help, suggesting a treatment gap. One-third rated the professional help and treatment as unsatisfactory, with 28% reporting that they had not received competent help. More somatic and posttraumatic stress symptoms were associated with higher healthcare needs, whilst higher levels of insomnia symptoms were associated with lower healthcare satisfaction. This emphasizes the need to recognize, professionally intervene, and provide competent support for traumatically bereaved individuals.

2011 年于特岛恐怖袭击事件发生八年后，失去亲人的父母和兄弟姐妹的医疗保健需求、医疗保健使用情况以及对医疗保健服务的满意度。

了解恐怖主义袭击后失去亲人者的医疗保健需求对于组织医疗保健服务至关重要。这项横断面研究调查了2011年挪威于特岛恐怖袭击事件发生八年后，122名失去亲人的父母和兄弟姐妹对与恐怖袭击相关的医疗保健需求、医疗保健利用率以及对专业医疗保健的满意度。结果显示，超过50%的参与者目前需要帮助来应对悲伤或精神和躯体症状，只有34%的人积极利用与恐怖袭击有关的医疗保健服务。此外，68%的人表示没有得到足够的帮助，这表明存在治疗缺口。三分之一的人对专业帮助和治疗的评价是不满意，28%的人称他们没有得到合格的帮助。更多的躯体症状和创伤后应激症状与更高的医疗保健需求有关，而更高程度的失眠症状与较低的医疗保健满意度有关。这强调了识别、专业干预和为创伤后丧亲者提供适当支持的必要性。
