A review of the existing literature shows the importance of mental health in preventing traffic accidents. Therefore, the current study aims to determine the mentioned mental disorders in relation with the history of accidents among truck drivers.
This cross-sectional study was done with two groups of truck drivers (with and without a history of accidents) in Iran. 56 people with a history of accidents and 410 people without a history of accidents participated in this study. At first, using questionnaires, the demographic information of the participants including age, education level, cigarette use, and addiction to drug was collected. Then, the mental disorders of the participants were evaluated by a 71-question, short form of the multidimensional Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). The evaluated disorders are the HS or hypochondria, D or depression, HY or hysteria, Pd or social mental deviation, Pa or paranoia, Pt or mental weakness, Sc or schizophrenia, and Ma or hypomania. The tests used for data analysis include descriptive tests and Chi square.
Man-Whitney U test showed that status of mental disorders, as revealed by the MMPI questionnaire, had a significant difference between the two groups with and without history of driving accidents ( < 0.001). The results showed that mental disorders of depression, hysteria, social mental deviation, paranoia, schizophrenia, and hypomania in individuals with history of driving accidents led to meaningful differences from individuals without history of driving accidents ( < 0.048).
The results of the current study showed that generally, individuals with history of driving accidents had significantly more mental disorders than people without history of driving accidents.
对现有文献的回顾表明心理健康在预防交通事故中的重要性。因此，本研究旨在确定与卡车司机事故史相关的上述精神障碍。
这项横断面研究在伊朗的两组卡车司机（有事故史和无事故史）中进行。56名有事故史的人和410名无事故史的人参与了本研究。首先，通过问卷调查收集参与者的人口统计学信息，包括年龄、教育水平、吸烟情况和药物成瘾情况。然后，使用明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）简版的71个问题对参与者的精神障碍进行评估。评估的障碍包括Hs或疑病症、D或抑郁症、Hy或癔症、Pd或社会心理偏差、Pa或偏执狂、Pt或精神衰弱、Sc或精神分裂症以及Ma或轻躁狂症。用于数据分析的测试包括描述性测试和卡方检验。
曼-惠特尼U检验表明，MMPI问卷所揭示的精神障碍状况在有驾驶事故史和无驾驶事故史的两组之间存在显著差异（<0.001）。结果表明，有驾驶事故史的个体在抑郁症、癔症、社会心理偏差、偏执狂、精神分裂症和轻躁狂症方面的精神障碍与无驾驶事故史的个体存在显著差异（<0.048）。
本研究结果表明，总体而言，有驾驶事故史的个体比无驾驶事故史的个体患有更多的精神障碍。
