This paper examines the relationship between the relevant parameters of traffic safety and the most important parameter of economic development, gross domestic product. In particular, the paper estimates the effects of the model of the rate of motorization and road traffic mortality in relation to the number of inhabitants and the number of motor vehicles, which are further used for the projection of mortality and the number of motor vehicles by 2030.

Introduction3880 fracture patients are admitted in the Emergency Department of Saiful Anwar General Hospital from January to August 2009. It signifies to the second place of the cause of patients' admission. Most cases are motorcyclist victims from road traffic accident. Driving license is encouraged by the government to reduce the number of road traffic accident victims.MethodsThis study utilizes observational with cross sectional study and purposive sampling to correlate the relationship between status of motorcycle driving license ownership and the obedience of traffic law, the relationship between the patterns of motorcycle driving license ownership and the obedience of traffic law, and the relationship between the obedience towards traffic law and the gradation of open fractures among motorcyclist victims in accordance with Sardjito Scoring system.ResultsMost patients have no driving license. And those who has driving license, mostly have never undergone driving license test. Patients with open fractures of cruris come with severe Sardjito scoring system, open fractures of antebrachii with moderate Sardjito scoring system, and open fractures of femur with moderate Sardjito scoring system.DiscussionIt is strongly related between the ownership of driving license and road traffic accidents. The most road traffic accidents cases of are open fractures of cruris, open fractures of antebrachii, and open fractures of femur respectively. High obedience and strict use of personal protective equipment (safety helmet, glove, and jacket) would be effective in mitigating road traffic accident injuries.

Abstract The main current intervention for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adult primary care is individual trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT). Group TF-CBT for PTSD has been advocated in order to improve access and cost. Barriers to the development of group TF-CBT include the need for a large number of sessions and therapist input in order to manage high levels of affect, possible dissociation and secondary traumatisation. This case study was prompted via our community engagement project when local women who had been involved in a single road traffic accident requested group therapy. The aim was to develop a NICE guideline-compliant brief 8-session group TF-CBT intervention that circumvented the above-mentioned barriers and is described in detail. In order to improve access, the group was delivered in the community. Standard and PTSD-specific measures were administered pre-therapy and post-therapy. Eight clients were offered treatment: two dropped out and six completed treatment. At the end of treatment, 3/6 clients attained reliable improvement in their PTSD symptoms. Two of these three clients also reached recovery. This change was maintained at 3-month follow-up where 4/6 clients attained reliable improvement, with three maintaining recovery. The remaining two clients showed minimal change in their PTSD symptoms. Overall, clients reported high-level satisfaction with the treatment protocol. This case study demonstrates a potentially clinically effective and cost-effective group TF-CBT intervention for non-complex single-incident PTSD. Key learning aims It is hoped that the reader of this case study will increase their understanding of the following: (1) Use of a brief group TF-CBT protocol to treat homogeneous single incident trauma in adults. (2) Adaptations to overcome barriers to group TF-CBT in adults. (3) Implementation of individualised reliving based on written-narrative rather than spoken-narrative. (4) Focus on the processes of PTSD, whilst using content as a theme to contextualise the symptoms. (5) Emphasis on the use of homework in order to enhance group affect-modulation and individual learning.
