چکیده:
Objective: The present study examines the mental health status of professional and non-professional drivers. Method: To this end, 453 drivers who were involved in accidents resulting in injury or death were investigated using convenience sampling at roadside stations during the first 24 hours after the accident. Each driver completed the SCL-90-R test and a demographic questionnaire. The research data were analyzed using descriptive statistical indices, the X2 statistical test, and the independent t-test. Findings: The findings of the research show that no significant difference was observed between the group of professional drivers and non-professional drivers in the SCL-90-R test scores. The average scores for paranoid, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, and depression dimensions in both groups were higher than other dimensions. Additionally, there was a significant correlation between history of medication use and accident history. Mental health and history of medication use are effective in increasing the number of driving accidents.
