Travma Mağdurlarına Yönelik Grup Müdahaleleri

Öz

Travmatik deneyimlerin yaşanma sıklığının artması, travma mağduru kişi sayısında artışa neden olmaktadır. Görülen bu artış, psikolojik destek sürecini de beraberinde getirmektedir. Travmatik deneyimlere maruz kaldıktan kısa bir süre sonra ise birçok bireyin travma sonrası stres bozukluğu (TSSB) yaşadığı gözlenmektedir. Travmatik deneyimler ve TSSB ile başa çıkma konusunda travma mağdurlarına hem bireysel hem de grupla psikolojik müdahaleler uygulanabilmektedir. Grupla uygulanan müdahalelerin çeşitli avantajları düşünüldüğünde ise son yıllarda tercih edilen yaklaşımlardan biri olduğu görülmektedir. Bu derleme makalesi ile alanyazında son yıllarda ön plana çıkan travma mağdurlarına uygulanan grup müdahaleleri ve bu müdahalelerin etkililiği ele alınmak istenmiştir.

Group Interventions for Trauma Victims

Abstract

The increase in the frequency of experiencing traumatic experiences causes an increase in the number of trauma victims. This increase is accompanied by the psychological support process. Many individuals experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) shortly after exposure to traumatic experiences. Both individual and group psychological interventions can be applied to trauma victims in coping with traumatic experiences and PTSD. Considering the various advantages of group interventions, it is one of the preferred approaches in recent years. With this review article, group interventions applied to trauma victims and the effectiveness of these interventions, which have come to the fore in the literature in recent years, are discussed.
