Abstract: (27 Views)
Background: Traumatic stress leading to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is significant psychological burden, particularly for individuals involved in car accidents. These incidents frequently result in severe emotional distress, affecting victims worldwide and often leading to long-term psychological consequences. This study aims to examine the predisposing factors of PTSD and post-traumatic growth (PTG) in individuals who have experienced car accidents.
Methods: Using a causal-comparative approach, 100 participants (92 males and 8 females) from Shahid Rajaie Hospital in Shiraz were selected. They completed assessments on self-control, self-compassion, integrative self-knowledge, and defense mechanisms. Additionally, PTSD and PTG questionnaires were administered one month post-accident. The collected data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).
Results: Results indicate that self-compassion, mature defense mechanisms, and neurotic defense mechanisms significantly impact how individuals respond to trauma and stressful events.
Conclusion: Understanding these psychological factors can contribute to more effective interventions aimed at reducing PTSD symptoms and fostering post-traumatic growth in accident survivors. Moreover, by identifying the roles of individual differences in coping, this research may assist clinicians and mental health professionals in tailoring treatment approaches that are more responsive to each survivor’s psychological profile and their recovery needs.
