However, how witnessing a terrorist attack influences social relationships is still understudied. This is important, as currently, there is more focus on the individual's mental health and not on how this mental health can impact the individual's social relations. In this study, the impact of the experience of a terrorist attack on social relationships was studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In\u2010depth interviews were conducted, with 31 directly exposed people during the 22 March 2016 attacks in Belgium. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three factors related to the impact on social relationships were found. First, participants felt that they had changed. This includes feeling more aggressive, guilty, distrusting or psychosomatic factors, such as migraine attacks, which can hamper social visits. Second, the reactions of others on the participant's expressing their feelings and behaviour also caused participants to not feel understood by their social relationships. Third, due the first two factors, participants coped in different ways (e.g. remaining silent and avoiding certain triggers), which in turn caused their social relationships to change.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The social relationships of witnesses of terrorist attacks can be hampered due to both themselves as well as the reaction of others. More awareness seems to be needed on the possible mental health consequences of terrorist attacks for witnesses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.2587","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,26]],"date-time":"2021-03-26T03:09:30Z","timestamp":1616728170000},"page":"1472-1481","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Impact of terrorist attacks on social relationships"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3127-5683","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roel","family":"Van Overmeire","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health and Wellbeing Research Group (MENT) Vrije Universiteit Brussel  Brussels Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rose\u2010Lima","family":"Van Keer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health and Wellbeing Research Group (MENT) Vrije Universiteit Brussel  Brussels Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johan","family":"Bilsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health and Wellbeing Research Group (MENT) Vrije Universiteit Brussel  Brussels Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2020","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0193-953X(05)70132-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","first-page":"202","article-title":"Long\u2010term relationships between perceived social support and posttraumatic stress after the 2011 Oslo bombing: A three\u2010year longitudinal study","author":"Birkeland M.
