Therefore, it is important to investigate whether nursing via telephone follow\u2010up after discharge could affect health\u2010related quality of life among injured road users.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Design.\u2002<\/jats:bold> A randomised controlled study.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Between April 2003\u2013April 2005, car occupants, cyclists and pedestrians, aged 18\u201370\u2003years, all injured in the traffic environment, were randomly assigned to an intervention (<jats:italic>n\u2003<\/jats:italic>=<jats:italic>\u2003<\/jats:italic>288) or control group (<jats:italic>n\u2003<\/jats:italic>=<jats:italic>\u2003<\/jats:italic>280). All patients were initially managed by one emergency department with the intervention group being followed up by nurse led telephone follow\u2010up three weeks after discharge, while the control group did not receive any telephone follow\u2010up. Data were collected from a mail survey using the non\u2010disease\u2010specific health\u2010related quality of life instrument EQ5D, at baseline and after six months.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.\u2002<\/jats:bold> In general, the intervention group rated significantly higher health\u2010related quality of life than the control group. This difference was most pronounced in the group of those provided with advice as part of telephone follow\u2010up and significantly for the general health status. Car occupants gained most advantage from the nursing telephone follow\u2010up, with significantly lower problems in the dimensions of pain\/discomfort and usual activities.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Nursing intervention via telephone follow\u2010up was effective at increasing the health\u2010related quality of life of injured road users. Early identification of the concerns of the injured and specific advice provided by the intervening nurse seems to be of greatest weight. Thus, more research is needed regarding the usefulness of early support and the advantage of this from a health economic perspective.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Relevance to clinical practice.\u2002<\/jats:bold> There is a need for changes in attitudes and working routines to identify individuals with low health\u2010related quality of life and to give more extensive support from this point of view.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2702.2008.02436.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,13]],"date-time":"2008-10-13T11:13:08Z","timestamp":1223896388000},"page":"108-116","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Injured road users\u2019 health\u2010related quality of life after telephone intervention: a randomised controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Carin","family":"Franz\u00e9n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Brulin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Stenlund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulf","family":"Bj\u00f6rnstig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","volume-title":"Advanced Trauma Life Support Program","author":"American College of Surgeons","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-1383(97)00083-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2004.09.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","volume-title":"The Abbreviated Injury Scale 1990 Revision.
