Abstract
This qualitative meta-synthesis demonstrates that survivors and providers face multiple individual and systemic barriers when seeking and providing resources after BI. Future research is needed to understand survivors’ help-seeking behaviors and assistance needs and providers’ education about BI and organizational relationships and networks. Recommendations are made for future research to understand how to reduce barriers for providers working with survivors, from trauma-informed education and communication to connecting with resources, where to concentrate, and initiatives for collaboration to increase the network of resources yet improve its accessibility.
