Summary

This study tested a short 10-question screening tool called DEPITAC to help nurses identify post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in people hospitalized after a road accident. About 274 participants completed the questionnaire within two weeks of their accident. The goal was to see if this simple tool could catch PTSD early, so patients can get the right mental health support sooner.
