    Initial posttraumatic stress responses following motor vehicle accidents (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Posttraumatic stress was assessed in 114 motor vehicle accident (MVA) victims within 2 weeks of hospital admission. Approximately one third of patients reported high levels of posttraumatic stress and anxiety. Intrusion symptoms were best predicted by fear of the MVA and absence of head injury. Avoidance symptoms were best predicted by fear of the accident and recent stressful events. Findings indicate that intrusion and avoidance responses to trauma are mediated by different patterns of injury-related and response-related factors.

    Posttraumatic stress reactions in volunteer firefighters (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of traumatic stress 9 (1996), S. 51-62

    Topics: Psychology
    Notes: Abstract Volunteer firefighters in NSW were surveyed for experiences of posttraumatic stress. Firefighters were asked to describe their experiences of stress and indices were obtained of psychological disturbance. Findings indicated that most firefighters felt that their safety had been threatened. One-quarter of firefighters indicated that they experienced significant levels of posttraumatic stress, although many respondents attributed their stress to personal events. Posttraumatic stress was associated with multiple and recent critical incidents. Findings are discussed in terms of etiological factors of posttraumatic stress and the need for appropriate intervention.

    Posttraumatic stress disorder, flashbacks, and pseudomemories in closed head injury (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of traumatic stress 9 (1996), S. 621-629 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-6598
    Keywords: posttraumatic stress ; motor vehicle accidents ; traumatic brain injury ; flashbacks ; pseudomemories
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Psychology
    Notes: Abstract Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is rarely diagnosed in patients with significant head injury. This paper reviews two patients who were amnesic for events surrounding their motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) but developed delayed-onset PTSD. Symptoms included vivid images of the MVAs that were based on information learnt following the trauma. These cases indicate that amnesic head injured patients can suffer pseudomemories that are phenomenologically similar to flashbacks observed in PTSD. Implications for understanding the nature of flashbacks are discussed.

    The role of the clinical psychologist on a burn unit in a general teaching hospital (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings 3 (1996), S. 41-55 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-3572
    Keywords: health psychology ; burns ; coping ; medical procedures ; posttraumatic stress

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract This paper reviews the core skills that a clinical psychologist brings to a burn unit and suggests a model for optimal psychological management of burn patients, families, and staff. Recovery from a burn injury involves three stages that comprise (a) acute treatment of severe medical complications, (b) adjustment to hospitalization, and (c) long-term rehabilitation. Each stage contains numerous issues that the clinical psychologist should monitor and manage. Assessment of patients at risk, early intervention, and specialist management are highlighted as critical components of effective psychological management of burn injury in a multidisciplinary team context.
