这项研究调查了2004年东南亚海啸灾难后父母和孩子的创伤后应激反应之间的联系。319名6-18岁挪威儿童和青少年的父母报告了儿童遭受海啸的情况和儿童的直接主观反应。采用儿童应激障碍量表测量海啸后6-8个月儿童的创伤后应激反应，修订的事件影响量表测量父母的创伤后应激障碍。结果表明，父母的创伤后应激反应显着预测PTSD反应，在他们的孩子。最强的协会被发现为父母的侵入性反应和过度觉醒。与低暴露水平的儿童相比，高暴露水平的儿童似乎更容易受到父母的困扰。这项研究表明，父母的痛苦可以忍受和恶化灾难对儿童的影响。在评估创伤相关后果和儿童治疗工作中，临床医生需要将重点扩大到包括他们的父母和家庭。
This study examined the association between parents' and children's posttraumatic stress reactions after the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia in 2004. Parents of 319 Norwegian children and adolescents aged 6-18 years reported on children's exposure to the tsunami and children's immediate subjective responses. The Child Stress Disorder Checklist was used to measure children's posttraumatic stress reactions 6-8 months after the tsunami, and the Impact of Event Scale Revised measured parental PTSD. Results indicated that parents' posttraumatic stress reactions significantly predicted PTSD reactions in their children. The strongest association was found for parental intrusive reactions and hyperarousal. Highly exposed children seemed to be more vulnerable to parental distress compared to children with lower levels of exposure. The study demonstrates that parental distress can endure and worsen the impact of a disaster in children. In assessments of trauma-related consequences and in therapeutic work with children clinicians need to expand the focus to include their parents and family.
