AB  - OBJECTIVE: We examined the rates of and factors associated with the development 
      of acute stress disorder (ASD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after 
      motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). METHOD: Forty hospitalized patients who had 
      orthopedic injuries after MVAs and 26 hospitalized patients who had orthopedic 
      injuries without a MVA were included in the study. One month after the MVA, the 
      General Health Questionnare (GHQ) Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), 
      Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Peritraumatic 
      Dissociative Experiences Questionnare (PDEQ) and sociodemographic data 
      questionnaire were given to all patients. At 3 and 6 months follow-up the 
      Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS), HDRS, GHQ, and a questionnaire 
      concerning medical problems caused by the accident along with economic and legal 
      problems were applied. RESULTS: 20% of the inpatients in the MVA group developed 
      ASD in the 1st month, 30% developed PTSD in the 3rd month and 17% developed PTSD 
      in the 6th month, while in the control group none of the patients developed 
      either ASD or PTSD. The MVA group had higher mean GHQ, HDRS and CAPS scores than 
      the controls at the 1st, 3rd and the 6th months of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Serious 
      and long-term psychiatric problems are seen after MVAs. Early intervention and 
      rehabilitation are needed for the risk groups determined.
