“…Even though minor injuries comprise approximately 75% of all road transport injuries, poor physical and mental health outcomes in this group have received little attention . Among participants with minor injuries, there are individuals at high risk of substantial poor recovery and on‐going disability . Hence, permanent or temporary disabilities arising from minor injuries pose an on‐going problem for the compensation and health‐care system .…”

ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to understand the recovery phenomena and to explore participants' perspectives on the biopsychosocial facilitators and barriers affecting their recovery after a minor transport injury.MethodsA qualitative method was used involving semi‐structured interviews with 23 participants who sustained a minor transport injury. Interviews and analysis were guided by the biopsychosocial model (BPS) of health. The outcomes were themes capturing biopsychosocial barriers to, and personal experiences of, recovery using a previously defined framework.ResultsThe themes indicate that recovery is a multifaceted phenomenon affected by comorbidities such as chronic pain, depression and anxiety. A range of subsequent complexities such as the inability to self‐care and undertaking daily domestic duties, and incapacity to participate in recreational activities were major barriers to recovery. These barriers were found to be an on‐going source of frustration, dissatisfaction and a perceived cause of depressive symptomatology in many participants. Most participants reported mixed feelings of the care received. Other common issues raised included a lack of understanding of the assessment time, regular follow‐up, guidance and on‐going support.ConclusionThis study revealed that recovery after a minor transport‐related injury was a challenging, complex, demanding and a long‐term process for the individuals in this study. Findings from this limited cohort suggested that, for participants to return to their pre‐accident health status, a more coordinated approach to information and care delivery may be required.

“…It must be pointed out, however, that knowledge concerning prevalence rates of PDs in general trauma populations is scarce, although it is known that extreme expression of some personality traits as such is related to risk behavior [50,51]. In one study, an increased prevalence of PDs in a traffic-related trauma population was identified [52]. Participants meeting criteria for a PD diagnosis reported lower scores than those without a PD diagnosis in only one aspect of burn-specific health, the BSHS-B domain skin involvement.…”

This study identified an above normal prevalence of PDs among individuals afflicted by burn and these individuals reported poor burn-specific health-related quality of life. The identification of difficulties with compliance and endurance regarding daily skin care may cause negative consequences for optimal rehabilitation and underscore the importance of offering more tailored interventions in rehabilitation. Inflexible behavioral patterns related to the PD diagnosis imply the need for communication strategies by the rehabilitation team, which include flexibility, creativity, and diplomacy. There is a need for further research focusing on identifying the factors that facilitate the individual's own ability to take action and have control.

“…The participants studied in the frame of this thesis originate from four different cohorts (Figure 8). Cohort (135 individuals) is derived from a larger material, which has been the source of several published studies [42,[103][104][105]. The original RCT [103] consisted of patients with various musculoskeletal injuries secondary to MVA who were admitted to the emergency department.…”

Personality Disorders are Not Associated With Nonrecovery in Patients With Traffic-Related Minor Musculoskeletal Injuries

Abstract: PDs are common among patients with minor traffic-related musculoskeletal injuries. Our study does not support the view that PDs are associated with nonrecovery. The patient's mental health status at the time of the crash seems to be more important for nonrecovery than a PD.
