Incidence (i.e. new patients with symptoms) of ASD and PTSD and anxiety at one year after treatment for physical trauma
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Type-I-trauma (single traumatic event) can cause severe symptoms of PTSD. ASD has hardly been studied in trauma patients. Therefore, we perform an observational prospective cohort study to examine the natural course of ASD symptoms (aim 1) and the effects of these symptoms on the development of PTSD and patients¡¯ psychological distress (i.e., anxiety and depressive symptoms) and QOL across time (aim 2) as well as examining whether we can identify a subgroup of patients in whom ASD symptoms remain or increase. This provides valuable insight in the need for a psychological intervention (aim 3) to prevent PTSD. All patients who have been in the shock room of the Elisabeth-TweeSteden hospital and Erasmus Medical Centre during the inclusion period will be asked to participate as soon as they are lucid. The procedure is that when patients agree to participate and sign an informed consent, they will complete a questionnaire assessing ASD symptoms and some socio-demographic questions. The inclusion period will be about 15 months. Participants will complete questionnaires assessing ASD and PTSD symptoms, psychological distress, personality and trait anxiety, coping, and QOL at inclusion and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after inclusion. Socio-demographic and clinical information will be abstracted from the patients¡¯ medical records. The medical ethical committee Brabant (METC Brabant) approved the study.

Doel van het onderzoek
The aim is to examine the natural course of Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) symptoms (aim 1) and the effects of these symptoms on the development of Port-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and patients¡¯ psychological distress (i.e., anxiety and depressive symptoms) and Quality of Life (QOL) across time (aim 2) as well as examining whether we can identify a subgroup of patients in whom ASD symptoms remain or increase. This provides valuable insight in the need for a psychological intervention (aim 3) to prevent PTSD.
