Objectives: To evaluate and find out psychological characteristics of traffic accident(TA) patients who were diagnosed as sprain of C-spine and L-spine, and suffering from psychological disorder.
Methods: 35 patients wrote out Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI). We divided them into four groups according to the type of TA - car to car and car to person, posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) and sex. We sent medical records and MMPI reports to Dept. of Oriental Neuropsychiatry Medicine and asked who were PTSD patients.
Results: 1-3/3-1 profile was found by total mean of T score of each MMPI scale in all patients. 1-3 profile was found in car to car and non-PTSD group. 3-1 profile was found in car to person and PTSD group. The difference was not valid by the type of TA, PTSD and sex(p<.05) except for the clinical scale of hysteria.
Conclusions: The results indicate that MMPI characteristics of TA patients were generally 1-3/3-1 profile and patients who showed 3-1 profile must be treated more carefully because they were underlying PTSD patients.
