Abstract
U radu su prikazani nalazi praćenja posttraumtskih stresnih reakcija prognanika starije životne dobi (N=61 ).Utu svrhu korištena je skala posttraumatskih stresnih reakcija od 28 čestica koje su sastavljene u skladu s DSM-III-R kriterijem. Tijekom šestomjesečnog razdoblja nije došlo do značajnog smanjivanja intenziteta posttraumatskih stresnih reakcija (t-1,84;p=0.07). U tom razdoblju posttraumatske stresne reakcije bile su slabo izražene kod22% ispitanika, umjereno izražene kod 64%, a izrazito prisutne kod 12%. Korelacijska je analiza pokazala da su značajni posrednici u-smanjivanju tih reakcija kvaliteta međuljudskih odnosa i socijalne podrške koju imaju starije osobe u progonstvu. U skladu s nalazima učinjene su odgovarajuće promjene u programu pružanja psihoscijalne pomoći starijim prognanicima smještenim u kolektivnom centru. 1This article gives results of the follow - up research research on posttraumatic stress reactions of displaced elderly people (N=61). Scale of posttraumatic stress reactions was constructed with 28 items according to DSM-III-R criteria. During the six months period intensity of posttraumatic stress reactions did not significantly lowered. Posttraumatic stress reactions were slightly present at 22%, moderately present at 64% and strongly present at 12% population. Correlation analysis showed that important elements for diminishing those reactions were quality of interpersonal relations and social support. In regard to those results modification of psychosocial program with elderly displaced people living in collective center took place
