Pediatric Critical Care-Associated Parental Traumatic Stress: Beyond the First Year (PCCM)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, the speaker discusses the long-term effects of pediatric ICU admissions on parents, specifically focusing on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study aimed to evaluate the percentage of parents meeting PTSD diagnosis at two years post-discharge and identify risk factors for long-term PTSD. The study enrolled parents of children aged 0-17 years who had been admitted to the PICU for over 48 hours. Various assessments and questionnaires were used to evaluate parental traumatic stress at different time points. The results showed that 15% of parents met criteria for probable PTSD at 3-9 months post-discharge, and this decreased to 13% at 18-30 months. Risk factors for long-term PTSD included parental concerns during admission, acute stress disorder at discharge, knowledge about the child's illness, and higher functional impairment of the child. The study suggests the need for screening and interventions at different time points to address parental traumatic stress. Further research is needed to develop prediction models and intervention strategies for targeted patient populations.
