Comprehensive psychosocial support in CBRNE incidents: a systematic review of strategies for citizens and frontline personnel.

ABSTRACT:

Background

CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive) incidents can significantly disrupt the natural order of human life and pose serious psychosocial challenges. This study aims to identify the components of psychosocial support available to citizens and frontline personnel during such events.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases up to July 2024. All articles that met the inclusion criteria and passed the screening process were included in the review. The screening process followed PRISMA guidelines. Thematic content analysis was conducted using Braun and Clarke's six-step framework. Extracted data were coded, categorized, and synthesized into key psychosocial support themes.
