Överlevande svenskar efter tsunamin. 3-årsuppföljning visar relativt god hälsa - men många har problem
Sammanfattning
The mental health situation among the population of Swedish tsunami survivors investigated three years after the disaster was relatively good, and appeared to have improved compared to the earlier investigation in spring 2006, 14-months post-tsunami. Women appeared to suffer from reactions and discomfort more than men did. Even though the health situation was good for the majority of participants, there were still a considerable minority with problems after the tsunami, for instance, the most seriously stricken who were exposed to a life-threatening situation or who had lost loved ones. Further studies will determine how their health develops.
