Railway accidents are considered potentially traumatic events and one of the consequences is the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). There are few studies that focus on the association between train accidents and the development of PTSD on train drivers. Method: In total, 216 male train drivers with a mean age of 44.85 (SD = 5.70), completed the Portuguese versions of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), the List of Life Events - Clinician Administered (CAPS), the PTSD Checklist Civilian Version (PCL-C) and the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire (PDEQ). Results: A prevalence of PTSD symptoms in train drivers (8.3%) was revealed, as well as the existence of a significant correlation between PTSD and the main variables: Depression (r = .70, p < .001), Life Events (r = .25, p < .001) and Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences (r = .63, p < .001), and also that variables BDI-II (ß = .51, t = 9.60, p < .001) and PDEQ (ß = .34, t = 6.24, p < .001) have a significant impact at the PCL-C (R² = .58). Conclusion: According to the results obtained and taking into account that 8.3% of train drivers present symptoms of PTSD, we consider important the existence of a reparative and preventive psychological support after the railway accident, in order to minimize the psychological impact on train drivers. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi o de verificar se existe uma correlação entre a PTSD, Depressão, Eventos de Vida e Experiências de Dissociação Peri-traumática, e qual o efeito dessas variáveis na PSPT. Os acidentes ferroviários são considerados eventos potencialmente traumáticos e uma das consequências é o desenvolvimento de Perturbação de Stress Pós-Traumático (PTSD). Há poucos estudos que focam a associação entre acidentes de comboio e o desenvolvimento de PTSD em maquinistas. Método: No total, 216 maquinistas do sexo masculino com média de idade de 44,85 (DP = 5,70) completaram as versões em português do Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), a Lista de Eventos de Vida - Administração Clinica (CAPS), o PTSD Checklist Civilian Version (PCL-C) e o Questionário de Experiências Dissociativas Peri-traumáticas (PDEQ). Resultados: A prevalência de sintomas de PSPT em maquinistas (8,3%) foi revelada, bem como a existência de uma correlação significativa entre PSPT e as principais variáveis: Depressão (r = .70, p < .001), Eventos de Vida (r = .25, p < .001) e Experiências Dissociativas Peri-traumáticas (r = .63, p < .001), e também aquelas variáveis BDI-II (ß = .51, t = 9,60, p < .001) e PDEQ (ß = .34, t = 6.24, p < .001) têm um impacto significativo no PCL-C (R2 = .58). Conclusão: De acordo com os resultados obtidos e tendo em conta que 8.3% dos maquinistas apresentam sintomas de PTSD, consideramos importante a existência de um suporte psicológico reparador e preventivo após o acidente ferroviário, a fim de minimizar o impacto psicológico nos maquinistas. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Psychology, Community & Health is the property of Psychology, Community & Health and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
