Resumen |
This survey is an attempt at evaluating the human cost of armed robberies committed against workers in the Belgian Post Office. The results of medical examinations, of a questionnaire survey and of an analysis of sickness leave records were used to evaluate 381 hold-ups involving 1,108 victims. Save for a few exceptional cases, health complaints by the victims are of a psychological origin, with psychosomatic symptoms. Persistence of these symptoms, and a tendency for the development of phobia of being attacked, were noted among the victims. Therapeutic and prophylactic measures are suggested. The questionnaires used are given in the appendix. |
