1972年布法罗溪大坝倒塌事故中179名2至15岁儿童的精神病学报告在灾难发生2年后被评定为创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状。 年龄和性别的影响和影响的水平的曝光和父母的功能进行了检查,根据一个概念模型解决的因素,有助于适应创伤性事件。 结果显示,最年轻年龄组的PTSD症状较少,女孩的症状水平高于男孩。 大约37%的儿童被诊断为“可能”的创伤后应激障碍。 多元回归分析显示,生命威胁、性别、父母精神病理学、易激惹和/或抑郁的家庭气氛都有助于预测儿童的PTSD发病率。
Psychiatric reports of 179 children aged 2 to 15 who were exposed to the Buffalo Creek dam collapse in 1972 were rated for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms 2 years after the disaster. Age and gender effects and the impact of the level of exposure and parental functioning were examined according to a conceptual model addressing factors contributing to adaptation to a traumatic event. Results showed fewer PTSD symptoms in the youngest age group and higher symptom levels for girls than boys. Approximately 37% of the children were given a "probable" diagnosis of PTSD. Multiple regression analysis showed that life threat, gender, parental psychopathology, and an irritable and/or depressed family atmosphere all contributed to the prediction of PTSD symptomatology in the children.
