The study had a mixed-methods design that provided quantitative and qualitative data on injuries, mental well-being, and experiences. Results from descriptive statistics and qualitative thematic analysis were interpreted and integrated in a mixed-methods analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1049023X16001485_abs3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the survivors, 11 passengers (20%) sustained moderate to severe injuries, and the remaining 45 (80%) had minor or no physical injuries. Two-thirds of the survivors screened for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) risk were assessed, during the period of one to three months after the bus crash, as not being at-risk, and the remaining one-third were at-risk. The thematic analysis resulted in themes covering the consequences and varying aspects that affected the survivors\u2019 recoveries. The integrated findings are in the form of four \u201ccore cases\u201d of survivors who represent a combination of characteristics: injury severity, mental well-being, social context, and other aspects hindering and facilitating recovery. Core case Avery represents a survivor who had minor or no injuries and who demonstrated a successful mental recovery. Core case Blair represents a survivor with moderate to severe injuries who experienced a successful mental recovery. Core case Casey represents a survivor who sustained minor injuries or no injuries in the crash but who was at-risk of developing PTSD. Core case Daryl represents a survivor who was at-risk of developing PTSD and who also sustained moderate to severe injuries in the crash.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1049023X16001485_abs4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present study provides a multi-faceted understanding of mass-casualty incident (MCI) survivors (ie, having minor injuries does not always correspond to minimal risk for PTSD and moderate to severe injuries do not always correspond to increased risk for PTSD). Injury mitigation measures (eg, safer roadside material and anti-lacerative windows) would reduce the consequences of bus crashes. A well-educated rescue team and a compassionate and competent social environment will facilitate recovery.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:mixed-citation id=\"S1049023X16001485_ref1\" publication-type=\"journal\"><jats:name name-style=\"western\"><jats:surname>Doohan<\/jats:surname><jats:given-names>I<\/jats:given-names><\/jats:name>,<jats:name name-style=\"western\"><jats:surname>Bj\u00f6rnstig<\/jats:surname><jats:given-names>U<\/jats:given-names><\/jats:name>,<jats:name name-style=\"western\"><jats:surname>\u00d6stlund<\/jats:surname><jats:given-names>U<\/jats:given-names><\/jats:name>,<jats:name name-style=\"western\"><jats:surname>Saveman<\/jats:surname><jats:given-names>BI<\/jats:given-names><\/jats:name>.<jats:article-title>Exploring injury panorama, consequences, and recovery among bus crash survivors: a mixed-methods research study<\/jats:article-title>.<jats:source>Prehosp Disaster Med<\/jats:source>.<jats:year>2017<\/jats:year>;<jats:volume>32<\/jats:volume>(<jats:issue>2<\/jats:issue>):<jats:fpage>165<\/jats:fpage>\u2013<jats:lpage>174<\/jats:lpage>.<\/jats:mixed-citation><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1049023x16001485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,30]],"date-time":"2017-01-30T09:45:16Z","timestamp":1485769516000},"page":"165-174","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Exploring Injury Panorama, Consequences, and Recovery among Bus Crash Survivors: A Mixed-Methods Research Study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9387-3174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabelle","family":"Doohan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6827-6116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulf","family":"Bj\u00f6rnstig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulrika","family":"\u00d6stlund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3716-6445","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Britt-Inger","family":"Saveman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-publhealth-032013-182440"},{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9280.2006.01682.x"},{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/emj.2010.096321"},{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/9781444316490"},{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2011.01.015"},{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13017-016-0064-7"},{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref2","first-page":"253","volume-title":"Disaster Medicine: Comprehensive Principles and Practices","author":"Bj\u00f6rnstig","year":"2010"},{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref35","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0119732"},{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpp.12021"},{"key":"S1049023X16001485_ref31","unstructured":"Traffic Analysis.
