Twenty-five subjects were studied who had undergone amputation 6 months to 2 years prior to the time of assessment. The sample was divided into sick (those having psychiatric illness) and non-sick (those without any psychiatric illness) groups, and then compared for various life events following the amputation. It was seen that those who were labelled as psychiatrically sick had more work impairment, change in job, socioeconomic difficulties and social avoidance. The latter two factors were also significantly more in right upper limb amputees than the left upper limb amputees; no such difference existed between the upper and lower limb amputees.
对 25 名在评估前 6 个月至 2 年内接受截肢的患者进行了研究。该样本分为患病（有精神疾病）和非患病（无任何精神疾病）两组，然后对截肢后各种生活事件进行了比较。结果发现，那些被贴上精神疾病标签的人工作能力受损更多，工作变动、社会经济困难和回避社交的情况也更多。后两个因素在右上臂截肢者中比左上臂截肢者更为明显；上肢和下肢截肢者之间则不存在这种差异。
