The presented study aims to investigate psychological factors in people who are suffered from occupational accidents and injuries. The method of the review is post-event or casual-comparative method, which is performed through available sampling from Ilam province (two groups of 25 injured and 25 non-injured people that have been matched). Mississippi structured inventory, Beck depression inventory, perceived social support questionnaire, Kobasa hardiness inventory, and risk perception inventory are used for data collection. Independent t-test was used to compare means, which was significant at 95% confidence level. But this difference was not significant in Mississippi questionnaire. Also, significance level in correlations was less than 0.05 indicating a correlation between them. Depression was seen in sample group but there were no symptoms of PTSD. The correlation studies also have shown the important role of perceived social support of individuals from family and others in development of this disorder, and that this factor has shown a good relation with hardiness (especially in challenge sub-scale) and risk perception.
