Posttraumatic Stress Disorder After a Car Accident in the Czech Population: Prevalence and Risk Factors For Its Development

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and to reveal risk factors for its development in a population of people affected by a traffic accident. This has not been the subject of any research study in the Czech Republic so far. Systematic investigation of the psychological impact of traffic accidents is a key condition in the system of their effective prevention and psychological care for road accident participants. The experience of a serious traffic accident can lead to a disturbance of psychological integrity in many people, and some of those involved in traffic accidents subsequently develop mental disorders that have a major impact on their future lives and, in a broader context, on society. Each person responds to a traumatic event in a different way and several situational and indi- vidual factors come into play. The online panel questionnaire survey on the prevalence of post-accident phenomena in the Czech population 18+, which was conducted using the CAWI method, involved 2319 respondents who had been involved in or witnessed a traffic accident investigated by the Czech Police in the last ten years. Symptoms of PTSD were identified in 23-30% of the sample. The linear regression model showed the follow- ing factors to be statistically significant: Gender, Education, Partnership satisfaction, Stressors one year around CA, Support of the significant others, Dissociation (Intense fear of healing oneself or others, Confu- sion and difficulty orienting oneself in time and space, Experiencing the situation as unrealistic), Subjective perception of CA as a burdensome life event, Persistent economic impact of CA, Avoidance of driving. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the overall impact of traffic accidents in the context of the Czech Republic. System- atic investigation of the psychological impact of traffic accidents is a key condition in the system of their effective prevention and psychological care of the affected persons.
