Abstract
Past physical injuries are associated with increased incidence of general health concerns and poorer health-related well-being. Moreover, injured individuals do not report increased stress perception; however, when stressed, injured individuals are more affected and health-related quality of life is reduced. Promoting well-being in individuals who have suffered a significant injury is, thus, a clinical necessity and a pressing social priority. This study highlights the role of stress perception in the association between physical injury and health, and may assist in providing better multi-disciplinary care for the injured.
