Abstract
In mehreren Studien konnten in den letzten Jahren die Auswirkungen der politischen und militärischen Gewalt auf die Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung psychischer Störungen wie z. B. der Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTBS) bei Kindern und Jugendlichen aus dem Nahen Osten gezeigt werden. In Palästina bleibt ein großer Teil dieser Betroffenen u. a. aufgrund der schwierigen Versorgungslage psychotherapeutisch unversorgt. Bisher wurde allerdings nicht betrachtet, was darüber hinaus die Inanspruchnahme professioneller psychotherapeutischer Hilfe nach Traumatisierung beeinflusst. Anhand einer Stichprobe von 110 Jugendlichen (Patienten und Gesunde) wird insbesondere untersucht, welche psychologischen Faktoren sich, neben den in dem etablierten Verhaltensmodell von Andersen beschriebenen Faktoren, auf die Inanspruchnahme auswirken.
Several studies have shown the consequences of political and military violence for the development of psychological disorders such as PTSD in children and adolescents in Palestine. Despite the problems of providing sufficient psychotherapeutic care in this region, little is known about what is influencing the help-seeking behavior of young patients suffering from PTSD and other stress responses. Enlarging Andersens’ model of health care utilization, we investigated several sociological and psychological factors influencing help-seeking behavior of adolescents (patients and non-patients; N=110), focusing at the psychological impact factors.
