Psychotherapy for train drivers after railway suicide

Association of Subway Driver's Depressive Symptoms and Experience of Work-Related Problems

“…In Denmark, the necessity of preparation and treatment for such a situation has been recognized and measures to cope with it have been instituted politically. The measures for it include 1) psychotherapy (crisis intervention) within 24 hr of the suicide attempt, 2) preparation for psychological crisis reactions in young drivers during their training and introduction of psychotherapy after the experience of railway suicide, 3) introduction to crisis intervention and psychological first aid for instructors and other staff who are called out in connection with suicide events, and 4) information campaigns inside and outside the company concerning railway suicides [21]. When these measures that were taken in Denmark also happen for the Korean subway drivers and the drivers fully recognize that they are not personally responsible for an accident resulting in death or injury, the effect of such an event on depressive symptoms can be reduced.…”

“…Järnvägssjälvmord drabbar samhället på flera sätt, offret som brottats med självmordstankar som till slut leder till handling, anhöriga och/eller andra personer i offrets närhet, likaså utgör självmord ett betydande problem för järnvägssektorn med stora förseningar som påverkar både resenärer, operatörer och spårförvaltare. Händelserna innebär också ett framstående arbetsmiljöproblem för lokförare och andra berörda yrkesgrupper i samband med olyckan (Briem et al, 2007;Cothereau et al, 2004;Limosin et al, 2006;Tang, 1994;Theorell et al, 1994).…”

Railway and Metro Suicides

“…It is estimated that in the United States the average train driver will be involved in three fatal incidents (suicides and accidents) during a 25-year career with the railways (Napper, 1998). In Denmark it is estimated that there is a 1 in 8 chance that any one driver in the urban railway will be involved in a suicide or a suicide attempt (Tang, 1994). Train drivers are at great risk of psychological trauma when they are involved in an incident where another is killed or seriously injured (Abbott et al, 2003).…”
