The role of appraisals and coping in predicting posttraumatic stress following pediatric injury.

Abstract: Objective Given the millions of children who experience potentially traumatic injuries each year and the need to maximize emotional and physical health outcomes following pediatric injury, the current study examined the individual and collective contributions of the malleable variables of appraisals and coping in predicting PTSS in children following injury. Method This study combined data from three prospective investigations of recovery from pediatric injury (N = 688), in which children ages 8–17 years wer… Show more

“…However, neither global nor trauma-specific appraisals served as a significant predictor of future PTSS when the relationship between appraisals and baseline PTSS was accounted for in the model. This latter finding differs from past research (Bryant, Salmon, Sinclair, & Davidson, 2007; Ehlers, et al, 2003; Marsac, et al, 2016). One possible explanation is that some past studies did not control for the association of PTSS and appraisals at baseline (e.g., Ehlers, et al, 2003).…”

“…Certain types of threat appraisals have been shown to be associated with more PTSS in children (Ehlers, et al, 2003; Marsac, et al, 2016; Meiser-Stedman, Dalgleish, et al, 2009). The current study extends past work by finding that global and trauma- specific appraisals, assessed in the early aftermath of an injury, had unique, independent relationships with PTSS development.…”
