Road traffic accidents are a major cause for severe injury in children and adolescents. Many victims also suffer from psychological consequences, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, traffic-related fears or mood disturbances. High levels of distress during and immediately after the accident are associated with severe posttraumatic stress symptoms. Routine consideration of the psychological impact of road traffic accidents should receive the same priority as screening for physical injury.
道路交通事故是儿童和青少年重伤的主要原因。许多受害者还遭受心理后果,如创伤后应激障碍、交通相关恐惧或情绪障碍。事故期间及事故后立即出现的高度痛苦与严重的创伤后应激症状有关。对道路交通事故心理影响的常规考量应与身体损伤筛查获得同等重视。
