In einer längsschnittlichen Untersuchung wurden 64 Patienten der unfallchirurgischen Abteilung einer Universitätsklinik 10 Tage und 3 Monate nach einem Verkehrsunfall untersucht. Erhoben wurden die posttraumatische Belastungssymptomatik und Gedankenkontrollstrategien. Zum ersten Untersuchungszeitpunkt (10 Tage) zeigt sich eine der Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTB) äquivalente Belastungssymptomatik bei 14,1% und nach 3 Monaten eine PTB-Prävalenz von 39,1%. Es zeigen sich Zusammenhänge zwischen einigen Gedankenkontrollstrategien und PTB-Symptomatik nach 10 Tagen und, in schwächerer Ausprägung auch nach 3 Monaten. Im Ergebnis einer explorativen Auswertung zeigt sich, daß insbesondere die Strategien «Ablenkung» und «Sorgen» eine relevante Rolle im Zusammenhang mit der PTB-Symptomatik spielen. / In a longitudinal survey 64 inpatients of an emergency clinic were examined 1 week as well as 3 months after a motor vehicle accident. Posttraumatic stress symptoms and strategies of thought control were assessed. Ten days after the accident, a posttraumatic stress symptomatology is observable in 14.1% of patients, 3 months after the accident the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is 39.1%. Strategies of thought control are correlated with posttraumatic symptomatology 10 days after the accident and after 3 months. The result of an explorative data analysis shows an important role of the control strategies ’distraction’ and ’worry’ in correlation with posttraumatic stress symptoms. / Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

A significant proportion of automobile collisions with cyclists occur because automobile drivers do not see the cyclists until too late to prevent an accident. In the United States, despite years of flawed utilization of traffic safety technology and procedures and waning interest in the increase in traffic fatalities, cyclists remain very vulnerable, with little improvement in safety on the road, and they are dying preventable deaths. For example, even though Americans drove less in 2020 during the Pandemic, fatalities of cyclists on the road in the United States increased five percent to 891 in that year [1]. Why is it worth studying the subject of decreasing cycle crashes with automobiles to decrease the mortality and disability of cyclists in the United States? I believe it is more than a casual attitude toward cycle safety on the driver's part but a general attitudinal malaise to traffic safety on the part of the American public. The United States had 38,680 fatalities on the road in 2020, up from 7.2% of fatalities in 2019 [2]. By contrast, the European Commission reported that 18,800 people were killed on the road, a decrease of 17% from 2019, making Europe the safest region in the world in traffic safety [3]. There has been almost no awareness of this on the part of the public, nor has there been a public outcry in the United States. The only way that cyclists can increase their chances of surviving on the road is to proactively take action to make themselves more visible to motorists because, according to Laurie Beck, an epidemiologist from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 'Nationwide, you're more than twice as likely to die while riding a bike than riding a car, per trip,' in the United States [4].

Muchas de las actividades que realiza diariamente una persona, están expuestas a diferentes factores de riesgos negativos. Lamentablemente, varios de estos logran concretarse causando grandes pérdidas. Estos hechos amenazan a una persona en su integridad, su vida, su interés y su propiedad. Es por ello, que se deben buscar los medios que mermen el origen de estos eventos o al menos que ayuden a que no sea una gran carga para quien lo padezca. A este mecanismo hoy en día se le llama seguro, el cual es brindado por varias empresas de nuestro país. Con el tiempo estas organizaciones se han convertido en un medio que garantiza la reparación de un siniestro en su totalidad o en gran parte. Es por ello, que cada vez más personas van adquiriendo estos servicios. Dentro de este contexto, las compañías de seguros locales ofrecen distintos tipos de productos y servicios. El seguro vehicular es uno de estos y son los más solicitados porque el índice de siniestralidad en la capital frente a robos, choques y daños materiales en el sector automotriz han ido incrementándose en los últimos años (APESEG, 2019). Por esta razón, la atención de los siniestros se vuelve cada vez más complicada de controlar ya que la comunicación e información compartida entre una central de siniestro vehicular, el procurador y el asegurado se vuelve inexacta y poco confiable debido a la misma naturaleza del servicio y la premura de su atención. El presente estudio aborda las tecnologías y herramientas actuales que se usan en los procesos operativos de la atención de un siniestro vehicular en una empresa que brinda servicios para compañías de seguros. Se empieza mostrando el modelo tradicional de operación de una central de siniestros y su interacción con el procurador y asegurado, luego se presentan las tecnologías y modelos más actuales para que dicha atención sea más oportuna y eficaz, en otras palabras, una mejora en los procesos. Las tendencias van hacia el uso de herramientas de software basadas en plataformas móviles de uso extensivo y su integración con los otros sistemas, el cual es un soporte tecnológico ideal para los servicios que ofrecen las compañías de seguros. / Many of the activities that a person performs daily are exposed to different negative risk factors. Unfortunately, several of them fail to materialize causing great losses. These events threaten a person's integrity, his life, his interest, and his property. For this reason, means should be sought to reduce the origin of these events or at least help prevent them from being a big problem for those who suffer from it. Nowadays this mechanism is called insurance, which is provided by several companies in our country. Over time, these organizations have become a way of guaranteeing the repair of a loss in whole or in part. That is why more and more people are acquiring these services. The local insurance companies offer different types of products and services. Auto insurance is one of them and they are the most requested because the accident rate in the capital due to theft, collisions and material damage has been increasing in recent years (APESEG, 2019). For this reason, request of claims becomes increasingly complicated to control due to the communication and information shared between a vehicle emergency center, the vehicle attorney and the insured becomes inaccurate and unreliable due to the very nature of the service and the urgency of its attention. This study studies the current technologies and tools that are used in the operational processes of the attention of a vehicular accident in a company that provides services for insurance companies. It begins by showing the traditional operating model of a vehicle emergency center and its interaction with the vehicle attorney and the insured. Then the most current technologies and models are presented to make a customer service more effective, in other words, an improvement in processes. The trends are directed to the use of software tools based on widely used mobile platforms and their integration with other systems, which constitutes an ideal technological support for the services offered by insurance companies. / Tesis
