Objectives: We performed this study to assess psychiatric symptoms of industrial injury patients and to promote the plan of treatment and rehabilitation of industrial injury patients not only in their physical problems but also in their psychiatric problems.
Methods: Psychiatric problems were assessed using BDI, STAI-Ⅰ, STAI-Ⅱ,IES, and SCL-90-R in 134 industrial injury patients and 62 healthy workers. Those were compared between the two groups.
Results: The score of BDI, STAI-Ⅱ,IES and 9 subscales of SCL-90-R were significantly higher in the industrial injury patients than comparison group(p<0.05), The scores of BDI in 63 industrial injury patients(47.01%) were higher than 20. The scores of STAI-Ⅱ, OC, DEP, ANX, HOS were significantly higher in the industrial injury patients treated for more than 6 months than comparison group(p<0.05).
Conclusion: Industrial injury patients had more depression, anxiety, somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, psychoticism and experienced greater posttraumatic distress than comparison group. As a result, early psychiatric assessment and intervention are needed for psychiatric problems due to industrial injury that can be persistent.
