Improvement of the Diagnosis and Medico-legal Management of Psychological Trauma in Patients Involved in the Terrorist Attack in Nice on the 14th July 2016

Psychological trauma is a major public health concern that affects numerous patients who have experienced traumatic events.

The objective of our research was to improve the diagnosis and management of persons experiencing such events.

We will seek to determine factors brought into play in the construction of psychological trauma and the best way to identify them so as to implement the optimal management of patients and ensure recognition of this condition.

In addition, in the context of our activity as expert witnesses, we will study the methods used to assess and quantify psychological trauma.

In this respect, a medical appointment will be made by a nurse of the Forensic Medicine Department of Dijon CHU. During this consultation, a self-report questionnaire will be completed by the patient alone to evaluate the level of acute stress followed by a psychiatric consultation and completion of the IES-R questionnaire with the doctor to identify symptoms of psychological trauma.
