When the unthinkable occurs – what support is there for your relatives? (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien är att beskriva forskningen som finns avseende informationsflöde, erfarenheter och upplevelser av anhöriga som grupp när en närstående drabbas av en allvarlig, livsomvälvande eller livshotande olycka eller katastrof. Studien har gjorts genom en scopingreview där fem databaser har genomsökts för att få en överblick av relevant forskning. Resultat påvisar vikten att information kring deras närstående når anhöriga i ett tidigt skede för att minska onödig stress. I arbetet med anhöriga visar det sig att socialarbetare bör ha en plats i krishanteringsarbetet då de ofta har utbildning och erfarenheter av att jobba emotionellt och stärkande. När en allvarlig olycka eller katastrof sker har det visat sig att även anhöriga påverkas. När anhöriga inte har förmågan att på egen hand ta sig igenom krisen bör det finnas krisinterventioner att sätta in. Interventionen bör vara individuellt anpassad och kan därmed behövas långsiktigt.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this paper is to examine the needs close family and relatives have of information and support when a serious accident or disaster occurs. This was done through a scoping review. Five databases were searched to summarize relevant research. The results indicate how important it is with information to close family and relatives in an early stage to minimize their negative stress. Social workers should have a given place with the trauma team since they usually have the training and skills to work emotionally and supportive with people. When a severe accident or disaster occurs, it is proven that close family and relatives are also affected. A crisis intervention should be available when they don’t have the resources to cope with the crisis on their own. Crisis interventions should be individually adapted and might be needed fora long time.
