An analysis of experiences of psychosocial recovery from road trauma

Harms, Louise Kay Unknown Date (has links) (PDF)
Understandings of the longer-term experiences of recovery from road trauma are limited. Many studies to date have examined the psychological and psychiatric consequences of road accidents in the short term, but few have moved to a focus on the psychosocial and subjective aspects of recovery, and the longer-term challenges of this process.

No. of bitstreams: 1 ArquivoTotalAnaPaula.pdf: 4539714 bytes, checksum: e81023113c80e20aab9cc31359a349d7 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-08-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Traffic accidents represent, in Brazil, a serious economic and especially social, relevant for magnitude of the mortality and number of people suffering from sequelae arising, thus becoming a serious public health problem. This research aimed to develop a model to support decision making based on fuzzy logic, supported by analyzes spatial and spatio-temporal (Scan method) to categorize neighborhoods according to priority intervention for prevention and control of traffic accidents that produce victims. Secondary data were georeferenced and recorded by Mobile Emergency Care Service in João Pessoa, Paraíba, in the years 2010 and 2011. Throughout study period, João Pessoa was 10,070 traffic accidents with victims. Of this total, 17.8% had breath ethanol and 0.8% died at the scene. The majority of victims were male (74.5%), belonging to the age group 20-29 years (37.7%). The accidents occurred mainly on Sundays (19.2%), Saturdays (18.7%) and on Fridays (14.4%) as well as in the months of December (10%), October (9.8% ) and May (8.9%). Most of the vehicles involved was composed by motorcycles (68.1%) and cars (36.5%). The nature of accident, collision was more frequent (46.2%), followed by fall motorcycle (30.7%) and pedestrian injuries (11.1%). In analysis of the relative risk and spatial distribution of these events, it was found that neighborhoods with high relative risk and formed significant spatial clusters concentrated in the north, northwest and northeast of the municipality. We identified 15 clusters space-time, which concentrated mainly in the northern, northeastern and coastal strip of the municipality. It was observed that neighborhoods reported by Mobile Emergency Care Service were categorized as priority by model, Valentina and Mandacaru were categorized as with tendency to priority, and Mangabeira was categorized as non-priority. The proposed decision model showed good agreement when compared with Mobile Emergency Care Service, thus satisfying the identification and classification of neighborhoods as a priority, with tendency to priority, with tendency to non-priority and non-priority. The results may be of relevance to both Mobile Emergency Care Service as to other public officials linked to road traffic, traffic education and care for victims produced by road traffic in João Pessoa. / Os acidentes de trânsito representam, no Brasil, um grave problema econômico e principalmente social, relevante pela magnitude da mortalidade e do número de pessoas portadoras de sequelas decorrentes, tornando-se assim um grave problema de saúde pública. Este trabalho objetivou elaborar um modelo de apoio à tomada de decisão baseado em lógica fuzzy, apoiado pelas análises espacial e espaço-temporal (método Scan), para categorizar os bairros de acordo com o grau de prioridade de intervenção para a prevenção e combate dos acidentes de trânsito que produzam vítimas. Foram utilizados dados secundários georreferenciados e registrados pelo Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência na cidade de João Pessoa, Paraíba, nos anos 2010 e 2011. Ao longo do período de estudo, João Pessoa apresentou 10.070 ocorrências de AT com vítimas. Deste total, 17,8% apresentaram hálito etílico e 0,8% morreram no local do acidente. A maioria das vítimas foi do sexo masculino (74,5%), pertencente à faixa etária de 20 a 29 anos (37,7%). Os acidentes ocorreram principalmente aos domingos (19,2%), aos sábados (18,7%) e às sextas-feiras (14,4%), bem como nos meses de dezembro (10%), outubro (9,8%) e maio (8,9%). A maioria dos veículos envolvidos foi composta por motocicletas (68,1%) e carros (36,5%). Quanto à natureza do acidente, a colisão foi mais frequente (46,2%), seguida por queda de motocicleta (30,7%) e atropelamento (11,1%). Na análise do risco relativo e da distribuição espacial destes eventos, verificou-se que os bairros com alto risco relativo e que formaram conglomerados espaciais significativos concentraram-se nas regiões norte, noroeste e nordeste do município. Foram identificados 15 conglomerados espaço-temporais, que se concentraram principalmente nas regiões norte, nordeste e faixa litorânea do município. Observou-se que os bairros relatados pelo SAMU/JP foram categorizados pelo modelo como prioritários, Mandacaru e Valentina, os quais foram categorizados como com tendência a prioritários, e Mangabeira, categorizado como não prioritário. O modelo de decisão proposto apresentou boa concordância quando comparado com o SAMU/JP, sendo assim satisfatório na identificação e classificação dos bairros como prioritários, com tendência a prioritários, com tendência a não prioritários e não prioritários. Os resultados desta pesquisa podem ser de relevância tanto para o SAMU/JP quanto para outros órgãos gestores públicos ligados ao trânsito, educação para o trânsito e atendimento às vítimas produzidas pelo trânsito no município de João Pessoa-PB.

Analýza příčin chybového jednání řidičů vedoucího ke vzniku dopravní nehody. / Analysis of the causes of faulty conduct of drivers leading to the accident.

ŠVARC, Petr January 2011 (has links)
This thesis is concentrated on the research of recent state of the czech highways. The main aim of this work is to find out the reason of mistaken behaviour of the drivers in traffic. During analyzing further details I concerned myself on four basic factors: the influence of the environment, the influence of the car, what the man does while he is driving and the influence of the man himself on his operating. This work also includes the research of the driver as an individua together with external environment which affects him during the journey. The analysis of the influence of each factor was marked out as a field research on the way with the driver whereas were emphasised his transgressions, his sanity and the influence of the environment on himself. Especially monitoring which leaded to the observation of activities of the man in following aspects: respecting the speed limit, the traffic signs and other highway codes, mental condition of the driver in critical situations. Also the influence of the environment on the man was an important point in this work. Were chosen three segments which negatively affects the man ? the driver and there were proposed solutions to reduce them. The influence of the driver himself was characterized in following part. The analytic part summarizes obtained information from measuring and from the observation which are specified in the experimental part. In final part of this work are emphased any recommendations for fractional parts of the traffic which should lead to the improvement of the system thereby to the improvement of the recent state of this issue.

Rua da Passagem: acidentes de trânsito como espaços de (re)produção e práticas de masculinidades

Silva, Alessandra Dartora da January 2014 (has links)
Esta tese busca mapear e analisar elementos e tecer redes de significados relacionados à produção de corpos, masculinidades e suas relações em exercício no espaço do trânsito para conhecer o(s) modo(s) como os homens habitam esse espaço. Para isso, corpo(s) e gênero(s) são instrumentos condição para a constituição de relações entre homens, veículos, vias e o espaço do trânsito em suas coexistências. Interessa-me não somente analisar como se constroem as posições de sujeito e suas relações, tanto com outros sujeitos quanto com as regras desse espaço, mas também como elas incidem no acidente de trânsito. Os acidentes de trânsito são uma condição um tanto paradoxal em que exercícios de masculinidade aproximam homens e serviços de saúde. Esta tese tem como questões norteadoras: que construções corporais são produzidas nas e pelas relações entre corpo, gênero, masculinidade, veículos, seus deslocamentos e suas coexistências e ao mesmo tempo são produtoras dessas relações? Como as relações entre masculinidade e o espaço do trânsito incidem sobre o acidente de trânsito e o produzem? Para construir respostas ao longo dos capítulos, trabalhei com informações do Estado, notícias relacionadas ao trânsito e aos acidentes de trânsito, bem como com campanhas publicitárias de automóveis, articuladas aos dados sobre atendimentos realizados por causa de acidentes de trânsito no HPS e aos tipos de acidentes, para o que foram utilizadas as informações do banco de dados do HPS. Também foram realizadas entrevistas com homens internados no HPS cujo motivo tenha sido o envolvimento em acidentes de trânsito. Tudo isso foi somado à minha experiência como sujeito – condutora de veículo no espaço do trânsito, em deslocamentos urbanos e em rodovias, e pesquisadora desse espaço. Este trabalho cria um espaço singular para problematizar algumas questões relacionadas aos acidentes de trânsito e à (re)produção e exercício de masculinidades no espaço do trânsito e corrobora a tese de que os diferentes modos como os homens são produzidos e fazem uso dos seus corpos e veículos no espaço do trânsito constituem arranjos de masculinidade que configuram uma racionalidade biomecânica para a ocorrência do acidente de trânsito. / This thesis is an attempt to map and analyze elements and weave networks of meanings related to the production of bodies, masculinities and their relationships in the traffic environment in order to know the way(s) that men have inhabited that space. Body(ies) and gender(s) are tools for the constitution of relationships among men, vehicles, pathways and the traffic environment in their coexistence. I am not only interested in analyzing how positions of subject and relationships with other subjects and rules in that environment have been constructed, but also how they have operated on the traffic accident. Traffic accidents are a quite paradoxical situation in which the exercise of masculinity approximates men to health care services. The guiding issues of this thesis are the following: which body constructions have been produced in and by relationships among body, gender, masculinity, vehicles, their displacements and their coexistences, and produced such relationships at the same time? How have the relationships between masculinity and the traffic environment operated on the traffic accident and produced it? To find answers, along the chapters, I worked with State information, news about traffic and traffic accidents, as well as car advertising campaigns, articulated with data about health assistance provided by HPS due to traffic accidents and types of accidents by using information from the HPS database. I also performed interviews with men hospitalized because of traffic accidents. All that was added to my experience as a subject – a driver in the traffic environment, both in urban streets and roads, and a researcher of that space. This study has generated a singular space to problematize some issues concerning traffic accidents and the (re)production and exercise of masculinities in the traffic environment. Furthermore, it corroborates the thesis that the different ways men have been produced as well as the ways they have used their bodies and vehicles in the traffic environment constitute masculinity arrangements that shape a biomechanical rationality for the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Investice do dopravně bezpečnostního opatření ve vybrané aglomeraci / Investments in traffic safety measures in the selected agglomeration

KÁLALOVÁ, Iva January 2018 (has links)
Thesis is focused on investments in traffic safety measures in the selected agglomeration České Budějovice. Includes a theoretical background focused on the introduction to the issues of transport and its negative externalities, in particular traffic accidents. The objective of this work is to assess the specific investment in traffic safety measures on the basis of data on traffic accidents in correlation with the amount of economic losses according to the type of consequences of accidents. The result is an assessment of the identified losses for the individual years and the subsequent appreciation of the investment. A partial aim of the work is the design of specific traffic safety measures, based on the needs of your chosen conurbations, including an assessment of options of investment in these measures. Through the calculation of the values of the indicators relative to accidents at selected intersections, was created to draft a specific traffic safety measures for the intersection, which showed the greatest deficiencies in terms of safety.

Os veículos pesados e a segurança no projeto das curvas horizontais de rodovias e vias de trânsito rápido. / Heavy vehicles and safety in horizontal curves highway design.

Sergio Ejzenberg 19 June 2009 (has links)
As curvas horizontais das rodovias notoriamente colecionam acidentes de trânsito, nos quais geralmente os automóveis derrapam e escapam pela tangente, enquanto que os veículos pesados costumam tombar lateralmente. Os critérios consagrados de projeto geométrico das curvas, consideradas planas, ignoram a propensão dos veículos pesados ao tombamento lateral, confiando apenas nas forças de atrito lateral e na superelevação transversal da via para a manutenção do veículo em trajetória segura. O presente trabalho pretende desenvolver modelo de projeto que forneça margens de segurança tanto contra o escorregamento e o tombamento lateral de veículos pesados (semi-reboques) em curvas horizontais com greide descendente. O modelo proposto no presente estudo é sensível a fatores de segurança intrínsecos e extrínsecos aos veículos, incluindo características geométricas longitudinais e transversais da pista, e a variação da trajetória do veículo dentro da curva. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que os critérios de projeto atuais não garantem a segurança de semi-reboques em curvas descendentes de raio mínimo, principalmente nas curvas de menor velocidade. O critério desenvolvido permite o estabelecimento de margens de segurança para a regulamentação de velocidade em curvas horizontais descendentes já existentes, bem como possibilita a determinação da velocidade de projeto segura para curvas descendentes em novas vias. / The grade effect on highway horizontal curves is notorious for traffic accidents because automobiles tend to skid and leave the road whereas commercial loaded vehicles tend to roll over. The standard criteria for the geometric design of these curves, which are considered flat, ignore the heavy vehicles propensity for rollover by relying solely on the forces of lateral friction and on the road superelevation in order to keep the vehicle in a safe trajectory. The current study has been set out in order to develop a model that will yield margins of safety to prevent skidding and rollover of heavy vehicles (semi-trailers) on horizontal descending highway curves. The model proposed in the present study is sensitive to safety variables both intrinsic and extrinsic to the vehicles, including longitudinal and transversal characteristics of the road, and vehicles trajectory variations at horizontal curves. The results of the study show that the currently adopted safety guidelines do not guarantee the safety of such articulated vehicles on grade curves with minimum radii, mostly at lower speeds curves. As a result, the proposed criteria allows the establishment of margins of safety that can be applied to regulatory speed signs on existing horizontal descending curves, and for the setting of safe design speeds for descending curves on new highways.
