Der Artikel wurde von Dr. Ulrich Schnyder zur Verfügung gestellt, veröffentlicht in "Am J Psychiatry 160:11, November 2003: Results: Multiple regression analysis explained 30 % of the variance in the number of days of leave taken that were attributable to the accident. Factors contributing to the predictive model were injury severity, type of accident and, most significantly, the patients´subjective self-assessment of accident severity and of their abilities to cope with the accident and its jobrelated consequences. Patients who perceived the severity of their accidents as relatively low and judged their coping abilities low and judged their coping abilities as high took a mean 121 days of leave compared to 287 days of leave taken by those who perceived the trauma as relatively servere and were less optimistic regarding their coping abilities. A two-factor analysis of variance showed that patient perceptions of accident severity and their appraisal of their coping abilities made independent contributions to the predicted amount of leave taken.
