To date no know studies have assessed for cases of post-traumatic stress disorder in children following accidental head injury. The present research seeks to identify the prevalence of PTSD and the variables associated with the development of the disorder, in a sample of 40 head injured children and 40 control subjects with orthopedic injuries. Eighty children ages 5 and older and their parents will be included in the study. Based on information obtained from history, variables such as severity of injury and course of recovery will be taken into consideration. Parents will be administered a diagnostic interview to assess personality and the extent of psychopathology. At a later follow-up appointment, children will be interviewed and assessed with self-report measures of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Multiple regression analysis will be used to examine the influence of subject, family, and injury variables on the development of PTSD, and on increased overall psychological morbidity.

到目前为止，还没有已知的研究评估了儿童意外头部受伤后的创伤后应激障碍病例。 本研究旨在确定PTSD的患病率和与疾病的发展相关的变量，在40名头部受伤的儿童和40名对照组骨科受伤的样本。 80名5岁及以上儿童及其父母将被纳入研究。根据从病史中获得的信息，将考虑损伤严重程度和恢复过程等变量。 父母将进行诊断性面谈，以评估个性和精神病理学的程度。 在随后的随访中，孩子们将接受采访，并通过抑郁，焦虑和创伤后应激障碍的自我报告措施进行评估。 多元回归分析将被用来检查受试者，家庭和伤害变量对创伤后应激障碍的发展，并增加整体心理发病率的影响。
