W artykule przedstawiono proces readaptacji zawodowej ofiary napadu na bank oraz implikacje praktyczne: zalecenia dla pracownika i pracodawcy, ułatwiające powrót do pracy po traumie napadu. Autorki zaprezentowały zespół stresu pourazowego – PTSD i jego przebieg, koncentrując się na konsekwencjach, jakie dotykają pracowników banku i kantoru, którzy są szczególnie narażeni na doświadczenie zbrojnego napadu. Poradzenie sobie z tą sytuacją jest zależne od umiejętnie udzielonego przez pracodawców wsparcia. Autorki uważają, że podstawowa wiedza na temat specyfiki przebiegu zespołu stresu pourazowego u pracownika banku czy kantoru – potencjalnej ofiary napadu, może istotnie wspierać obszar działań pracodawcy. Będzie on potrafił, po pierwsze, rozpoznać symptomy stresu poura¬zowego u swojego pracownika, po drugie – udzielić mu konkretnego wsparcia, stymulując jego motywację do podjęcia specjalistycznej pomocy psychologicznej (tzw. interwencji w kryzysie).

The article advances guidelines for the employee and employer that facilitate a return to work after the trauma of an assault. The authors present posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its development. They focus on the consequences of bank and currency exchange bureau workers who are particularly vulnerable to the experience of an armed robbery. Coping with such a situation is dependent on competent support by the employer. The authors believe that basic knowledge of the specific development of posttraumatic stress disorder in the case of a bank or currency exchange bureau worker—a potential assault victim—may provide significant support encompassing areas of employer activity. First, the employer will be able to recognize posttraumatic stress symptoms in the employee and, second, can provide concrete support stimulating an assault victim’s motivation to seek specialist psychological help (crisis intervention). The positive aspects of the article are primarily its practical implications.
