X34.1: Victim of tsunami
Victim of a tsunami refers to individuals who have experienced a tragic natural disaster known as a tsunami. A tsunami, large sea wave or set of waves caused typically by sea-floor movement during an underwater earthquake, can result in a variety of physical injuries and mental health issues in its aftermath. Immediate physical injuries may include bruises, fractures, cuts, or more severe injuries such as internal bleeding and traumatic brain injuries. The mental health impact can range from acute stress reactions to long-term conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. It's important to consider both physical injuries and psychological impacts when addressing the needs of a tsunami victim. Each individual will have unique requirements depending on their specific experiences, injuries, and resilience.
