背景。关于道路交通事故对儿童的心理和行为后果知之甚少。该研究旨在确定道路交通事故对儿童及其母亲的影响。方法。对急症室 5-16 岁连续儿童参加者进行的为期 1 年的队列研究。数据提取自医疗记录以及基线、3 个月和 6 个月时的访谈和自我报告。结果。孩子们的身体状况非常好。 15%患有急性应激障碍； 25% 的人在 3 个月内患有创伤后应激障碍，18% 在 6 个月内患有创伤后应激障碍。旅行焦虑很常见。母亲遭受创伤后后果很常见。结论。少数儿童的心理结果较差，并与残疾有关，尤其是在旅行方面。这对家庭造成了重大影响。需要改变临床护理，以预防、识别和治疗令人痛苦和致残的问题。

A 1-year cohort study of consecutive child attenders aged 5-16 years at an Accident and Emergency Department. Data were extracted from medical notes and from interview and self-report at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.Results. The children had an excellent physical outcome. Fifteen per cent suffered acute stress disorder; 25 % suffered post-traumatic stress disorder Lit 3 months and 18 % at 6 months. Travel anxiety was frequent. post-traumatic consequences for mothers were common.Conclusion.
