Stress in Trauma Patients in Triage Categories 3-5

3 września 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Gabriela Katharina Pomper

Assessment of Acute Stress and Main Sources of Concern Among Trauma Patients in Triage Categories 3-5 in the Emergency Department: A Prospective Observational Study

The aim of this study is to better understand what causes patients the most concern immediately after an injury. We would like to find out how stressed patients are and whether the main causes of stress are pain, fear regarding the severity of the injury, the possibility of surgery, uncertainty about treatment, concerns about family, children, work, finances, or something else.

Szczegółowy opis

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.

Badana populacja

The study population consists of adult patients aged 18 years or older presenting to the Emergency Department with an acute traumatic injury and classified as triage category 3, 4, or 5. Eligible participants must be clinically stable after the initial medical assessment, able to understand the study information and questionnaires, and capable of providing written informed consent. Patients who require hospitalization will additionally complete a follow-up questionnaire approximately 24 hours after admission.

Association Between Pain Intensity and Overall Stress
Ramy czasowe: 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
Ramy czasowe: 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.
At day 1.
Change in Overall Stress Score Assessed by the Study-Specific Acute Trauma Stress Questionnaire From T0 to T1
Ramy czasowe: From day 1 to approximately 24 hours after admission.
Change in overall stress level between the initial Emergency Department assessment and approximately 24 hours after hospital admission among hospitalized participants.

Change in Dominant Sources of Stress Assessed by the Study-Specific Acute Trauma Stress Questionnaire From T0 to T1
Ramy czasowe: From day 1 to approximately 24 hours after admission.

From day 1 to approximately 24 hours after admission.
Correlation Between Overall Stress Score and Patient-Reported Information and Understanding Score
Ramy czasowe: 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

Opis planu IPD

ndividual participant data (IPD) will not be shared publicly because the study involves sensitive patient-reported psychological and clinical information collected in the acute trauma setting. Although the dataset will be pseudonymized, the relatively small study population and detailed clinical variables may still carry a potential risk of participant re-identification. Therefore, IPD will be restricted to the study investigators and will not be made publicly available.
