Abstract

Krizni događaji vrlo su stresni i uznemirujući iznenadni događaji koji mogu dovesti do psihološkog stanja krize. To je stanje kada uobičajeni mehanizmi suočavanja nisu dostupni te osoba osjeća bespomoćnost i gubitak kontrole. Krizni događaji najčešće dovode do stresnih i traumatskih reakcija osobe koje se očituju emocionalno, misaono, tjelesno i ponašajno. Neke od tih reakcija mogu biti dovoljno uznemirujuće te omesti suočavanje i oporavak osobe. U toj situaciji od velikog su značaja pomoć i podrška druge, suosjećajne osobe, odnosno pomagača. Psihološka prva pomoć jedna je od vrlo učinkovitih metoda koja pomaže umanjiti početni stres zbog traumatskog događaja te potiče oporavak osobe. Ona se sastoji od pripremne faze i osam temeljnih aktivnosti koje bi se trebale pružiti svakoj potrebitoj osobi. Sažeto, može se reći kako se ona sastoji od aktivnog slušanja i prikupljanja informacija, emocionalne stabilizacije i podrške te pružanja praktične pomoći u zadovoljenju potreba i briga pogođene osobe.
