The present descriptive study was aimed at evaluating posttraumatic and depressive symptoms and their cooccurrence, in a sample of victims of workplace accidents. Also, posttraumatic negative cognitions were assessed. Eighty-five injured workers were evaluated, using the PTSD Symptom Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory II, and the posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory. 49.4% of injured workers reported both depressive and posttraumatic symptoms of clinical relevance. 20% only reported posttraumatic, but not depressive, symptoms, and 30.6% did not report either type of symptoms. The group with both posttraumatic and depressive symptoms displayed greater symptom severity and more negative cognitions about the self and about the world than the other two groups. The obtained findings indicate that workplace accidents can have a major impact upon the mental health of victims. Early interventions should be focused not only on the prevention or reduction of posttraumatic and depressive symptoms but also on restructuring specific maladaptive trauma-related cognitions.
本描述性研究旨在评估工作场所事故受害者样本中的创伤后症状和抑郁症状及其共现情况。此外，还评估了创伤后消极认知。使用创伤后应激障碍症状量表、贝克抑郁量表第二版和创伤后认知量表对85名受伤工人进行了评估。49.4%的受伤工人报告了具有临床相关性的抑郁和创伤后症状。20%的人仅报告了创伤后症状，而非抑郁症状，30.6%的人未报告任何一种症状。与其他两组相比，同时患有创伤后症状和抑郁症状的组表现出更高的症状严重程度以及对自我和世界更多的消极认知。研究结果表明，工作场所事故可能会对受害者的心理健康产生重大影响。早期干预不仅应侧重于预防或减轻创伤后症状和抑郁症状，还应侧重于重构与创伤相关的特定适应不良认知。
