“…clinic sample (N= 52), we previously found (Perrin, Meiser-Stedman, & Smith, 2005) that the RIES-C had good criterion validity against a diagnosis of PTSD derived from structured clinical interview, classifying 83% of children correctly.…”

A prospective longitudinal follow-up study (n=59) of child and adolescent survivors of physical assaults and motor vehicle accidents assessed whether cognitive processes predicted posttraumatic stress symptomatology (PTSS) at 6 months post-trauma in this age group. In particular, the study assessed whether maladaptive post-traumatic appraisals mediated the relationship between initial and later post-traumatic stress. Self-report measures of PTSS, maladaptive appraisals and other cognitive processes, as well as structured interviews assessing for Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), were completed at 2-4 weeks and 6 months post-trauma. PTSS and PTSD at 6 months were associated with maladaptive appraisals and other cognitive processes, but not demographic or objective trauma severity variables. Only maladaptive appraisals were found to associate with PTSS/PTSD after partialling out initial symptoms/diagnosis, and to mediate between initial and later PTSS. On this basis it was argued that maladaptive appraisals are involved in the development and maintenance of PTSS over time, while other cognitive processes (e.g. subjective threat, memory processes) may only have an effect in the acute phase. The implications of this study for the treatment of PTSS in youth are discussed.

Objective: Certain thought control strategies for managing the intrusive symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are thought to play a key role in its onset and maintenance. Whereas measures exist for the empirical assessment of such thought control strategies in adults, relatively few studies have explored how children and adolescents manage posttraumatic intrusive phenomena. Methods: In a prospective longitudinal study of 10-16-year-olds with PTSD, who were survivors of road traffic collisions and assaults, a variety of thought control strategies were assessed in the acute phase. These included strategies thought to be protective (reappraisal, social support) as well as maladaptive (distraction, punishment, worry). Ruminative responses to the trauma were assessed at the follow-up assessment. Results: Posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) at each assessment were associated with the use of punishment and reappraisal, whereas social support and rumination were associated with PTSS symptoms at follow-up. Distraction was unrelated to PTSS at any time point. Rumination accounted for variance in PTSS symptoms at follow-up, even when accounting for baseline PTSS, and was found to mediate the relationships between reappraisal and punishment at baseline and PTSS at the follow-up assessment. Conclusions: The present study found no evidence to support advocating any particular thought control strategy for managing the intrusive symptoms of PTSD in youth in the acute posttrauma phase, and raised concerns over the use of reappraisal coping strategies. The study underscores the importance of ruminative responses in the onset and maintenance of PTSD in traumaexposed youth.

“…The scale has a cutoff score of 30 and was associated with traumatic exposure, depression, and anxiety. [25][26][27] The 27-item Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) is commonly used for measuring severity of childhood depression. 28 Each item has three categories (e.g., "I have fun in many things", "I have fun in some things", "Nothing is fun at all") to match with respondents' experience in the past 2 weeks.…”

A devastating earthquake occurred on May 12, 2008 in Sichuan, China. This study investigated the prevalence and factors in association with psychological problems among secondary school students living in Chengdu (90 km away from the disaster epicenter) in June 2008. In a cross-sectional survey, 3,324 secondary students self-administered a structured questionnaire in classroom setting. Validated scales were used in this study. Among all respondents, 22.3% reported post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); 22.6% were probable depression cases; 10
