CTDA 1022: Posttraumatic Stress in Children Age 7 to 17 Seen in Hospital for Acute Injury, Australia, 2004-2006

The broad aims of this overall project were to examine predictors of children's adjustment, mainly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), after a single-incident injury. The overarching hypothesis was that a combination of physiological/biological, cognitive, and parental anxiety factors would predict children's later adjustment. The dataset in this collection comes from the combination of two broad projects that recruited from the same hospitals, with the first (smaller) project being built upon by the second project (which contained additional measures and an additional follow-up). Children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 and their families (n=135) were recruited for the study after presentation to either of two major metropolitan Australian hospitals following a single-incident injury. Children's heart rate was recorded at hospital triage. Children and parents completed risk screening measures within 4 weeks of injury. Measures for cognitive appraisals, social support, traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms were assessed at 3 months and 6 months post-injury.

本项目的总体目标是探究儿童在单一事件性伤害后调整适应的预测因素，主要关注创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。总体假设认为，生理/生物学、认知和父母焦虑因素的结合将预示儿童后续的调整适应。本集合中的数据集来源于两个大规模项目的结合，这两个项目均从同一批医院招募受试者，其中第一个（较小的）项目被第二个项目（包含额外的测量和额外的随访）所扩展。在单一事件性伤害后，7至17岁的儿童及其家庭（n=135）在澳大利亚两大主要城市医院就诊后被招募进入本研究。在医院的初步诊断阶段记录了儿童的心率。受伤后4周内，儿童和家长完成了风险评估测量。在受伤后3个月和6个月时，对认知评估、社会支持、创伤应激、抑郁和焦虑症状进行了评估。
