Experiences, Reactions and Professional Challenges After the Terror Attacks in Norway 22nd July 2011: A Study of Rescue Workers, 2012

This study investigated personnel and volunteers involved in the rescue operation after the terror attacks in Norway on July 22, 2011. The study examined the degrees of perceived peritraumatic strain, the duration of such experiences, the degree of post-traumatic stress symptoms during the follow-up and the levels of sick-leave. The study also mapped out to what extent the participants had previous experiences and training from exposure to such events. Health personnel, police personnel, fire-fighters, organized volunteers and unorganized volunteers (persons who by chance were near Utøya) participated in the study. A survey was collected around 10 months after the terror attacks.
