Consistent with previous research, perceived injustice was associated with greater depression and post-traumatic stress symptoms. The results support previous findings that anger inhibition mediates between perceived injustice and depression, and provides novel findings regarding mediation of post-traumatic stress symptoms. Results provide preliminary evidence for the role of perceived injustice in SCI and potential mechanisms by which it may exert its effects.

“…Scores on the IEQ range from 0 to 48, with higher scores indicating higher perceptions of injustice. The IEQ has demonstrated good psychometric properties in studies of musculoskeletal injury (e.g., Scott, Trost, Milioto, et al, 2013;Sullivan et al, 2008) and has been validated for use in traumatized samples (Trost et al, 2015;Trost, Monden, Buelow, Boals, & Scott, 2016). The Cronbach's alpha values for internal reliability in the current sample were .91 at baseline, .94 at 3-month postinjury follow-up, and .96 at 6-month postinjury follow-up.…”

Previous research has consistently found that traumas of an interpersonal nature are associated with elevated levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). In the current study, we examined whether feelings of injustice related to sustained physical trauma mediate the association between the interpersonal nature of a traumatic injury and two outcomes: PTSS and depressive symptoms. The sample consisted of 176 patients admitted to a Level 1 trauma center for traumatic injuries. Participants completed measures of PTSS, depressive symptoms, and injury‐related injustice perception at baseline and again at 3‐ and 6‐month postinjury follow‐ups. The results revealed that, compared to noninterpersonal injuries, interpersonal injuries were related to significantly higher levels of perceived injustice, PTSS, and depressive symptoms at all three assessment points, except for PTSS at baseline, ds = 0.47–1.23. These associations remained significant after accounting for injury severity. It is important to note that higher levels of perceived injustice 3‐month postinjury follow‐up mediated the association between the interpersonal nature of the trauma and higher levels of PTSS and depressive symptoms at 6 months postinjury. Our results suggest injustice may be an important factor that helps explain why interpersonal traumas are associated with poorer mental health outcomes than noninterpersonal traumas. Additionally, the current study provides some of the first prospective analyses of injustice perception and trauma outcomes.
