Abstract: Poor expectations of recovery, posttraumatic stress symptoms and passive coping emerged as the most consistent prognostic factors of chronic neck pain and/or disability after a whiplash injury. Anxiety, travel anxiety, depression, personality, precollision distress, general psychological distress, and avoidance behavior were not associated with chronic whiplash problems.

“…Psychology services were accessed by 1% of claimants during an acute post-injury period, and 13% of females and 10% of males during a chronic post-injury period. To our knowledge, no previous data are available about referral rates of individuals with WAD to psychologists despite evidence that one-quarter of individuals with chronic WAD have a co-morbid mental health disorder/distress [50], acute stress symptoms are prognostic for poor recovery [51], and over 40% of chronic post-injury pharmaceutical claimants from the same data cohort received an antidepressant [18]. Current clinical WAD management guidelines recommend assessing for post-traumatic stress symptoms where appropriate and onward referral to mental health specialists if required [8].…”
