Research summary
The risk of mood disorders associated with trauma is well documented and high rates of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are reported within injury populations (Van der Vlegal et al., 2022). Research has shown however that not all those who experience trauma will develop a mood-related disorder (Galatzer-Levy (2018). To date, few studies have attempted to explore risk and resilience factors for Post traumatic stress (PTS) outcomes within a traumatic injury population. The aim of this study is to apply a social identity framework known as the Social Identity Model of Traumatic Identity Change (SIMTIC) to explore divergent responses to traumatic injury to support identification of patients at risk of PTS outcomes.
