Self-reported distress symptoms among cyclists having suffered bicycle crashes
2022, Journal of Transport and HealthCitation Excerpt :Therefore, not accounting for the psychological health aspects of injury consequences could lead to underestimating the health impact of traffic crashes and lead to poor resource allocation in the public health sector. In a review of psychiatric morbidity after motor vehicle collisions, Blaszczynski et al. (1998) found the most commonly reported disorders were depression (21% to 67%), anxiety (4% to 87%), driving phobia (2% to 47%) and PTSD (0% to 100%, impacted by a lack absence of psychometric measures in some studies). Recent studies support this.
Drivers’ behavioural (non)adaptation after a texting-related crash
2020, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :This gives rise to the question of how drivers who experienced such a crash respond to it. It is well documented that the psychological impact of a crash, also a non-serious one, can be profound (see, e.g., Blaszczynski et al., 1998, for an overview). It has been reported that injured motor vehicle crash victims might experience travel anxiety as a driver or passenger even five years after the crash (Mayou et al., 1997).
Geographic variations in reported and treated pain and mental health problems in the first two years after transport-related major trauma
2019, Journal of Transport and HealthPsychological distress following a motor vehicle crash: A systematic review of preventative interventions
2016, InjuryCitation Excerpt :For example, elevated psychological distress has been shown to be associated with both catastrophic MVC-related injuries such as spinal cord injury (SCI) [14,30,31], and non-catastrophic physical injuries such as whiplash injury [8,14,32]. A systematic review investigating psychological distress following a MVC found 21% to 67% of MVC survivors suffered depressive mood states, while anxiety and driving phobia was experienced by up to 47%, and over 40% suffered symptoms consistent with PTSD [33]. Similar rates of psychological distress have also been found by other researchers [8,11,12,15,34].
