2. Abstract
Accident prevention and Safety Promotion is important for safe community. If all have to
leave happy life, than Safe community should be established. Professionalization of
Industrial Social Work role is immense in such situation.
To critically study POST-TRAUMA PSYCHOSOCIAL BURDEN DUE TO
OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS & INJURY OF DISABLED WORKERS at workplace and
issues of Social Welfare. The intervention was done at 3 stages: (a) knowing how they
felt immediate after the incidence (post-responses), (b) after few days of hospitalization
(in hospital), and (c) presently after the incidence, i.e. after long span of time and before
joining back to work.
A population of more than 60 employees (Major Disabled Victims) from five industries
involving all the MDI was the focus group. MDI, major disabling injury, cause much after
math difficulties & lead to lot of adjustmental problems for the worker(s) at work place,
and family living, thus, MDI was of crucial in studying. It was also felt the need for
Professionalization of Industrial Social Work: An Arena to practice, and how it has to be
undertaken.
The results with corresponding value showed a high level of significant relation between
accident, resultant injury and post- trauma psychosocial burden undergone. Infact, there
was high level of significant co-relation between injury, burden and difficulties undergone,
especially for those families with lack of better economic standing. Psychological
disturbance was experienced much during hospitalization & at home, with high symptoms
of irritability, depression, nightmare, worry and anxiety provoking behaviors. Infact, on
sociological area, there was lot of disturbance in family social relation, daily activity, high
level of helplessness & more dependency.
Since, accident, injury & after-math burden faced is always damaging to the person
(victim), family members and dear ones, there is a greater need for proper psychosocial
rehabilitation program, than financial payments. The pains experienced are more than
any payments done to heal the suffering and cant be substituted by any monetary
support. The role of a separate person, especially, a person from the background of
Rehabilitation is looked for. And, PISW…. Professionalisation of Industrial Social
Work role is immense & timely in such situation, because by virtue of training in
psychosocial area by PISW, psychosocial welfare of affected ones & their families can be
taken care off to greater extent. The research strongly supports the importance of
Psychosocial help rather than financial help in building a healthy winning workplace, thus,
creating an organization to work with. The paper places high standards on the role that
PISW would be rendering for greater Social Welfare of the disabled victim. If the situation
is similar at other Asian- Pacific countries, then the present paper will be of great help for
discussion and finding concrete solutions.
3. A movement in this direction throughout ASIA will be an apt step by all SOCIAL
WORKERS in joining hands and relieving the sufferings of the disabled working class and
Post trauma Management.
