Description:
Background: If disorders that occur immediately after a trauma are not treated, they may
become chronic and turn into severe health problems.
Objectives: This study was conducted with children who had spent time in an intensive care
unit and their parents to examine the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in
both children and parents.
Methods: The research was carried out in the intensive care unit of a children's hospital in
Turkey. Children between the ages of 8-12 who had spent time in the PICU over the period
January 1 - March 1, 2019, who had been discharged from the PICU or transferred into another
unit during this time, and who met the research criteria were included in the study. Between
these dates, the total number of children discharged from intensive care or transferred into
another unit was 166. Of these children, 138 were between the ages of 8-12. During this
period, three children who died, two children whose general condition meant they were unable
to participate in the study, and 23 children for whom parental consent could not be obtained
were excluded from the study. The study was ultimately completed with 110 children. In
addition, the parents of the children in the sample group (98 mothers and 80 fathers) who
were alive, reachable, and who agreed to participate were included in the study.
Results: A total of 110 children, 98 mothers and 80 fathers who agreed to participate in the
study, met the sample selection criteria, and were available throughout were included in the
study.
