[Prevention of psychological disorders after a road accident]

[Article in French]
Florian Nicolas et al. Rev Infirm. 2018 Feb.

Abstract

A psychological intervention programme, set up within a trauma centre, revealed common factors contributing to the emotional upheaval felt by road accident victims. These factors are linked to the event itself, its medical management, the quality of family support and the patient's history. Early psychotherapy, the awareness of the nursing teams and the involvement of the families are the key elements ensuring coherent and effective prevention.
