Background Young children are at particular risk for injury. Ten per cent to twenty‐five develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, no empirically supported preventive interventions exist. Therefore, this study evaluated the efficacy of a standardised targeted intervention PTSD in young injured children. Methods Injured (1–6 years) were enrolled multi‐site parallel‐group superiority prospective randomised controlled trial (RCT) Australia and Switzerland. Screening occurred 6–8...
Abstract The prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in very young children depends on the diagnostic criteria. Thus far, studies have investigated International Classification Diseases (11th rev.; ICD‐11 ) criteria for PTSD only samples older than 6 years age. aim this study was to test agreement between and Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM‐5 who are old younger. Caregivers aged 3–6 foster care Germany ( N = 147) parents 1–4 had attended a hospital...
Although injury severity and parental stress are strong predictors of posttraumatic adjustment in young children after burns, little is known about the interplay these variables. This study aimed at clarifying mediation processes between mother's, father's, child's acute stress. Structural equation modeling was used to examine relationships child Parents 138 burn-injured (ages 1–4 years) completed standardized questionnaires on average 19 days postinjury. Sixteen (11.7%) met Diagnostic...
Accidental injury represents the most common type of traumatic event experienced by children under age 6 years. Around 10-30 % young injured will go on to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other co-morbid conditions. Parents are also at risk PTSD, this is associated with short- long-term consequences for their children's physical psychological recovery. Despite significance problem, date, mental health needs have been neglected. One reason due uncertainty considerable debate...
Flexible self-regulation has been shown to be an adaptive ability. This study adapted and validated the adult Regulation of Emotional Expression (FREE) Scale for use with youth (FREE-Y) in community maltreatment samples. The FREE-Y measures ability flexibly enhance suppress emotion expression across array hypothetical social scenarios. Participants ( N = 654, 8–19 years) were included from three studies. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed a theoretically appropriate higher order...
Females exposed to child sexual abuse (CSA) are at an increased risk of experiencing further victimization in adolescence. Associations between CSA and several forms cyber in-person peer bullying were assessed a prospective, longitudinal study. substantiated matched comparison group (N = 422) followed over two-year period. Bullying experiences both survey qualitative interviews. Qualitative data coded used describe the types (e.g., cyber, physical, verbal), foci threats, physical appearance)...
Although previous research has consistently found considerable rates of acute stress disorder (ASD) in children with accidental injuries, knowledge about determinants ASD remains incomplete. Guilt is a common reaction among after traumatic event and been shown to contribute posttraumatic disorder. However, its relationship never examined. This study assessed the prevalence adolescents following road traffic accidents (RTAs). Moreover, association between peritraumatic guilt was investigated...
Abstract Heterogeneity in the course of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) following a major life trauma such as childhood sexual abuse (CSA) can be attributed to numerous contextual factors, psychosocial risk, and family/peer support. The present study investigates comprehensive set baseline risk protective factors including online behaviors predicting empirically derived PTSS trajectories over time. Females aged 12–16 years ( N = 440); 156 with substantiated CSA; 284 matched comparisons...
Cognitive models of posttraumatic stress disorder highlight cognitions (PTCs) as a crucial mechanism trauma adjustment. So far, only dysfunctional PTCs have been investigated in detail. Research on functional is scarce. This study addresses this gap by developing and validating self-report measure called Functional Posttraumatic Cognitions Questionnaire (FPTCQ) children adolescents.The questionnaire was administered to 114 adolescents aged 7 15 years who had experienced an acute accidental...
This paper evaluates human driver performance in obstacle detection on railway systems by statistically analysing accident data.Given the challenge of obtaining nonaccident data, study estimates frequency tracks examining rates under low visibility conditions (night and curves), where drivers cannot see obstacles time.Using data from a major European operator, finds that can avoid around 28% collisions good conditions, but only about 12% when all are considered.Autonomous trains need to meet...
Abstract Associations of adolescents' smartphone use and well‐being have been contradictory. The present study investigates patterns psychosocial risk / protective factors in US adolescents during COVID‐19 examines their associations with depression symptom trajectories from 5 yearly waves beginning prior to the pandemic. Latent profile analyses revealed three profiles, including a high (18.9% adolescents) characterized by elevated social media use, levels risk, low variables. growth mixture...
Abstract The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL 1.5–5 years) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) subscale by Dehon & Scheeringa (2006) as a screener for PTSD in trauma-exposed young children has yielded inconsistent results so far. Therefore, the aim of this study was to create and examine validity alternative CBCL-PTSD subscales compare them existing based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria 6 years younger. Further, were examined regarding their usefulness screening stress-related functional...
