CTDA 1032: Posttraumatic Stress in Children Age 7 to 15 Hospitalized for Burn or Traffic Injury and Their Parents, Switzerland, 2016-2018

This study enrolled children ages 7 to 15 who received medical care at the hospital after an acute traffic accident or burn injury, and up to two parents/caregivers per child. Within 1 month of injury, and at 3 months, and 6 months post-injury, children and parents were assessed for posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and depression. Parents also completed measures of their own anxiety symptoms and of child behavior and health-related quality of life. The study aimed to achieve a better understanding of dysfunctional trauma-related cognitions considering child and environmental factors in a cross-sectional and a longitudinal design.

本研究招募了7至15岁的儿童，他们在医院接受急性交通事故或烧伤后的医疗救治，每个儿童最多有两名父母或监护人参与。在受伤后1个月内、3个月及6个月时，对儿童及其父母进行了创伤后应激障碍症状（PTSS）和抑郁情绪的评估。此外，父母还完成了自身焦虑症状、儿童行为以及与健康相关的生活质量等方面的测量。该研究旨在通过横断面和纵向设计，探讨在考虑儿童和环境因素的情况下，创伤相关认知功能障碍的更深入了解。
