patients who are the victims of physical trauma may also develop immediate and delayed emotional problems. Psychological interventions because of altered body image, acute stress reaction and post-traumatic disturbances are well documented and also the management of these complications is an extension of trauma care. The preinjury psychopathology of traumatic victims are not well described; however, we studied the preinjury psychopathology of 73 patients in acute hand injury, analyzed their correlation between acute hand injury, socio-environmental factor, characteristics of personality and occupational affinity in this population. We obtained the following results:
1.The incidence of acute hand injury increase in the unskilled population attached to their short employment period, insufficient knowledge of prevention and poor working environment.
2.There is no correlation between acute hand injury and decrease of occupational affinity.
3.There is no evidence of much accidental rate because of personality disorder in this population.
4.In order to decrease the accidental rate in the acute hand injury, the sufficient preventive education and industrial environment must be developed.
