TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Posttraumatic stress disorder in debriefed survivors of a bus accident JO - Psychological reports A1 - Hovens, J. E. A1 - van de Weerd, M. SP - 1075 EP - 1081 VL - 82 IS - 3 N2 - Immediately after a severe bus accident a program in preventing posttraumatic stress disorder was started by the Community Mental Health Centre (RIAGG). Six months after the accident, 17 subjects (42.5%) were investigated with regard to posttraumatic stress disorder. Almost 18% appeared to satisfy the DSM-IV criteria. Another subject was considered to be a borderline case. The correlations among measures of intrusion, avoidance, and hyperarousal suggest that subjects with high scores on hyperarousal are at risk for posttraumatic stress disorder.
