Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effects of key factors such as cognitive flexibility, social support, and physiological stress on the occurrence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adult trauma patients treated in the emergency department. The main question it aims to answer is: Among emergency department patients who have experienced major trauma, can factors such as early post-trauma cognitive flexibility, level of social support, inflammatory markers, and trauma severity predict the development of PTSD within 6 months? Participants will complete a series of online questionnaires and clinical assessments at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the traumatic event.
