Clinical Trial Summary

This research aims to study the occurrence of post-traumatic stress, anxiety or depression in the parents of a child who has been hospitalized in intensive care unit following a severe trauma.


Description:

With nearly 25% of trauma deaths, trauma is one of the leading causes of death in the world for children aged 5 to 14 years. In children under 4, it is responsible for 6% of deaths.

Severe trauma is defined by an Abbreviated Injury Scale > 3 score in at least one anatomical region.

In case of multiple traumas, the Injury Severity Score is used to define severe polytrauma if it is > 15.

Cranial trauma is the most common lesion found in polytraumatized children and is present in 80% of cases.

Serious head trauma is defined as the existence of a cranial trauma in a patient whose Glasgow score is less than or equal to 8.

Severe trauma is a source of high mortality and severe disability in surviving children. Due to the context of sudden onset, a prolonged length of hospitalization in intensive care, as well as the occurrence of often severe sequelae, the severe trauma causes a real upheaval for the child's relatives.

In adults, the occurrence of post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression is relatively well described in patients and relatives of patients who have been hospitalized in intensive care unit. However, there is currently no pediatric study focusing on this subject, apart from neonatology where the traumatological context remains exceptional.

This research aims to study the occurrence of post-traumatic stress, anxiety or depression in the parents of a child who has been hospitalized in intensive care unit following a severe trauma.
