Detailní popis
Traumatic injuries are a common reason for seeking care in an Emergency Department. Beyond the physical effects of an injury, patients may also experience considerable emotional stress. They may worry about pain, how serious the injury is, whether surgery will be necessary, how long recovery will take, possible long-term consequences, and how the injury may affect their family, children, work, or financial situation.
In patients who are medically stable, especially those with less immediately life-threatening injuries, this emotional burden is not always assessed in a structured way. However, these patients are often able to complete a short questionnaire about their concerns and stress. Understanding their experiences may help healthcare professionals improve communication, provide clearer information, and offer better support during emergency care.
The aim of this study is to measure acute stress in trauma patients and identify the concerns that matter most to them shortly after injury. For patients who are admitted to the hospital, the study will also examine how stress levels and the main sources of concern change during the first 24 hours after admission.

Individual Sources of Stress at T0
Časové okno: At day 1, after initial Emergency Department assessment.
|
Severity of specific stressors, including pain, concerns about injury severity, possible surgery, anesthesia, treatment uncertainty, permanent consequences, family, children, work, and financial concerns, each rated on a 0-10 numerical scale.

Difference in Overall Stress Between Triage Categories 3, 4, and 5
Časové okno: At day 1.
|
Description: Comparison of overall acute stress scores among trauma patients classified as triage category 3, 4, or 5.
|
At day 1.

|
Association Between Pain Intensity and Overall Stress
Časové okno: At day 1.
|
Description: Association between self-reported pain intensity and overall acute stress level, both measured on numerical rating scales from 0 to 10.
|
At day 1.
|
|
Overall Stress Score According to Injury Type and Anatomical Location
Časové okno: At day 1.
|
Overall stress will be assessed using a patient-reported 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no stress and 10 indicates the highest imaginable level of stress. Overall stress scores will be compared according to the type of traumatic injury and the anatomical location of the injury. Injury type and anatomical location will be determined from the clinical assessment and medical documentation at presentation to the Emergency Department and categorized for analysis. Higher scores indicate a higher level of overall stress. |

Change in Dominant Sources of Stress Assessed by the Study-Specific Acute Trauma Stress Questionnaire From T0 to T1
Časové okno: From day 1 to approximately 24 hours after admission.
|
Change in the most important patient-reported sources of stress between the initial assessment and approximately 24 hours after admission.
|
From day 1 to approximately 24 hours after admission.

Časové okno: At day 1 and, for hospitalized participants, approximately 24 hours after admission.
|
Correlation between the patient's overall stress level and the patient's perceived level of information and understanding regarding the current treatment plan. Overall stress will be assessed using a patient-reported Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no stress and 10 indicates the highest imaginable level of stress. The perceived level of information and understanding of the treatment plan will be assessed using a patient-reported Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates feeling not informed/not understanding the treatment plan at all and 10 indicates feeling fully informed and having |
