Title

POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER: A NEGLECTED HEALTH CONCERN AMONG COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVERS

Pages

  185-194

Abstract

 Background: POST-TRAUMATIC stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that may develop following a trauma. IRANian commercial motor vehicle drivers experience many road TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS during their working life; this may increase the probability for developing PTSD, which in turn may lead to increased human errors as well as decreased work efficiency.Objective: To examine the PREVALENCE of PTSD and its associated factors among a group of IRANian commercial motor vehicle drivers.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 424 drivers who referred to participate in an annually training program were selected using a simple random sampling technique. They were requested to complete the Persian version of PCL-C and a data collection sheet about their OCCUPATIONAL and demographic features.Results: 385 (90.8%) of 424 studied drivers completed the study. 265 (68.8%) of the drivers had first-grade driving license. The mean±SD on-the-job daily driving was 10.2±2.8 h. 74 of 385 (19.2%; 95% CI: 15.3%–23.2%) met the PTSD criteria. Higher age and job experience as a professional driver, and having past history or past familial history of psychiatric disorders, were independent predictors of developing PTSD. The disease was more prevalent among drivers with first-grade driving license.Conclusion: The PREVALENCE of PTSD among IRANian commercial motor vehicle drivers is higher than the figures reported elsewhere. Measures to diagnose of such drivers and to ensure optimum follow-up of victims before return to professional driving should be considered.
