This longitudinal study was designed to investigate whether or not social connectedness predicts psychological well‐being over time. Structural equation modeling used examine the temporal relations between these constructs assessed yearly for 3 years a sample of 1,774 10‐ 15‐year‐olds (at Time 1). Results indicated that global (i.e., combined across domains family, school, peers, and neighborhood) predicted well‐being, but no reciprocal relation found. However, were revealed by analyses...
Abstract Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in a range of social impairments, however longitudinal recovery is not well characterized, and clinicians are poorly equipped to identify children at risk for persisting difficulties. Using prospective design, this study aimed evaluate the contribution non‐injury related resilience factors outcome problems from 12‐ 24‐months post‐TBI. 78 with TBI (injury age: 5.0–15.0 years) 40 age gender‐matched typically developing (TD) underwent...
Emotion perception (EP) forms an integral part of social communication and is critical to attain developmentally appropriate goals. This skill, which emerges relatively early in development, driven by increasing connectivity among regions a distributed sociocognitive neural network may be vulnerable disruption from early-childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present study aimed evaluate the very-long-term effect childhood TBI on EP, as well examine contribution injury-...
Children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are at risk for social impairment, but research has yet to document the trajectory of these skills post-injury and factors that may predict problems. This study addressed gaps in knowledge, reporting on findings from a prospective, longitudinal follow-up investigated outcomes explored contributing two years post-injury. The sample included 113 children, 74 TBI 39 typically developing (TD) controls. participants were recruited presentation hospital....
Abstract Childhood and adolescence are critical periods for maturation of neurobiological processes that underlie complex social emotional behavior including Theory Mind (ToM). While structural correlates ToM well described in adults, less is known about the anatomical regions subsuming these skills developing brain or impact cerebral insult on acquisition establishment high‐level cognitive skills. This study aimed to examine differential influence age‐at‐insult pathology a sample children...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of childhood disability, and associated with elevated risk for long-term social impairment. Though (pragmatic) communication deficits may be among the most debilitating consequences TBI, few studies have examined very outcomes as children TBI make transition to young adulthood. In addition, extent which reduced function contributes externalizing behaviors in survivors remains poorly understood. The present study aimed evaluate difficulty adult...
Background Deficits in social cognition may be among the most profound and disabling sequelae of paediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI); however, neuroanatomical correlates longitudinal outcomes this domain remain unexplored. This study aimed to characterize cognitive longitudinally after TBI, evaluate use sub-acute diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) predict these outcomes. Methods The sample included 52 children with mild complex-severe TBI who were assessed on theory mind (ToM), pragmatic...
Deficits in theory of mind (ToM) are common after neurological insult acquired the first and second decade life, however contribution large-scale neural networks to ToM deficits children with brain injury is unclear. Using paediatric traumatic (TBI) as a model, this study investigated sub-acute effect on grey-matter volume three large-scale, domain-general (the Default Mode Network, DMN; Central Executive CEN; Salience SN), well two domain-specific implicated social-affective processes...
Previous studies in pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been variable describing the effects of severity on white-matter development. The present study used diffusion tensor imaging to investigate prospective sub-acute and longitudinal relationships between early clinical indicators severity, metrics, neuropsychological outcomes. Pediatric patients with TBI underwent magnetic resonance (MRI) (n = 78, mean [M] 10.56, standard deviation [SD] 2.21 years) at stage after (M 5.55, SD 3.05...
Objectives: To investigate rates of clinically significant externalizing behavior (EB) in young adult survivors pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) and evaluate the contribution pre- postinjury risk resilience factors to EB outcomes 16 years after injury. Setting: Melbourne, Australia. Participants: Fifty-five adults (mean age = 23.85 years; age: 1.0-12 years) admitted an emergency department following TBI between 1993 1997. Design: Longitudinal prospective study with data collected at...
Childhood and adolescence coincide with rapid maturation synaptic reorganization of distributed neural networks that underlie complex cognitive-affective behaviors. These regions, referred to collectively as the 'social brain network' (SBN) are commonly vulnerable disruption from pediatric traumatic injury (TBI); however, mechanisms link morphological changes in SBN behavior problems this population remain unclear. In 98 children adolescents mild severe TBI, we acquired 3D T1-weighted MRIs...
Psychosocial deficits, such as emotional, behavioral and social problems, reflect the most common disabling consequences of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). Their causes recovery likely differ from physical cognitive skills, due to disruption developing networks influence child's environment. Despite increasing recognition post-injury there exists a paucity research regarding incidence impairment, factors predicting risk resilience in domain over time since injury.
Abstract Objective To assess parent psychological distress in families of children with common chronic health conditions (CHC) and to explore relationships between distress, unmet supportive care needs children’s quality life (QoL). Method Cross-sectional study involving parents diagnosed a CHC 0 12 years age who had received treatment within the last 5 years. Eligible completed an online survey, that included Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) assessing 34-item assessment across 6...
Although childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been linked to heightened risk of impaired social skills and behavior, current evidence is weakened by small studies variable methodological quality. To address these weaknesses, this international multi-cohort study involved synthesis data from two large observational cohort complicated mild-severe child TBI in Australia North America. Both adopted a unified approach collection coding procedures, providing the opportunity merge datasets...
Our study addressed aims (1) to test the hypothesis that moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in pediatric patients is associated with widespread white matter (WM) disruption, (2) age and sex affect WM organization after injury, (3) examine associations between neurobehavioral outcomes.
Despite a well-documented association between childhood traumatic brain injury and elevated risk for internalizing externalizing behavior problems, the mechanisms through which family functioning contributes to individual variation in these behavioral outcomes remains poorly understood. This prospective cohort study aimed assess respective contribution of child emotion regulation (ER) post-injury problems at 1-year follow-up, with specific focus on evaluating role emotional dysregulation...
An extensive library of symptom inventories has been developed over time to measure clinical symptoms traumatic brain injury (TBI), but this variety led several long-standing issues. Most notably, results drawn from different settings and studies are not comparable. This creates a fundamental problem in TBI diagnostics outcome prediction, namely that it is possible equate distinct tools inventories. Here, we present an approach using semantic textual similarity (STS) link scores across...
