Lectures 9-12 Flashcards
In Justin’s lecture about children’s accidental injuries (lecture 9) what are the three child symptom trajectories (or groups of injured kids) and what percentage of the population falls into these 3 trajectory groups?
- Resilient (57%) = best off
- Recovering (33%)
- Chronic (10%)
In Justin’s lecture about children’s accidental injuries (lecture 9) what are the three parent tools subjective distress symptom trajectories (or groups of parents) and what percentage of the population falls into these 3 trajectory groups?
- Stable low (78%) = the healthiest
- High declining (8%)(most dangerous, sits below clinical stress levels but plateaus there)
- Moderate stable (14%)
Kids with resilient trajectories more likely to have parents with resilient trajectories
Parents with resilient trajectories have kids with… Or … Trajectories
Parents with moderate stable have kids with high levels of ongoing … Distress
Resilient or declining
Chronic
If parents or caregivers are also affected by medical traumatic stress, this may adversely affect their parenting in 3 ways:
unresponsive parenting
Overprotective
Re-enacting/endangering/frightening
What is the DSM-V criteria for PTSD for kids (0-6 years old?)
Exposure to traumatic event

Persistent hyperarousal (including irritable and angry behaviour)
Social impairment
Over 4 weeks
Hold outcomes of PTSD in 0-6 year olds
Excessive clinginess
Avoidance of reminders of traumatic event
Temper tantrums
In Justin’s lecture (9) what is involved in the first phase or peri-trauma intervention?
Goal: reduce the potential for experiencing trauma and increase everyone’s sense of safety and control
- increase information and help make sense of experiences
- increase comfort and decrease distress
- address anxiety and coping skills issues early
- increase support and connection to helpful others
Traumatic stress in injured children’s consider DEF (what does this stand for)
Distress
Emotional support
Family
In Justin’s lecture (9) what is involved in the second phase or post-trauma intervention?
Goal: reduce traumatic distress or prevent PTSD
- accurately assess PTSD risk to identify children families who will benefit
- identify and correct inaccurate information predictive of PTSD
- decrease impact (consolidation) of traumatic memories
What does Justin’s intervention (post traumatic injury with children, lecture 9) wish to provide?
Identify children at risk of distress/PTSD via screening
Provide low impact care for low risk
Take account of natural spontaneous remission through re-screening
Provide intervention that includes family
Follow up
What is involved in phase 3 (tertiary)?
Specialist mental health care
Trauma focused CBT especially with parents included
What percentage does a reaction to the traumatic event remain similar in parents to their children?
86% parents and Children in sync or near in sync with Their trajectories
What did Eysenck argue to be the part of the brain that processed reward sensitivity and approach behaviour?
The Mesolimbic dopamine system
What did Eysenck argue to be the part of the brain that processed punishment sensitivity (fear) and avoidance behaviour?
Amygdala, noradrenaline, serotonin
What did Eysenck argue to be the part of the brain that processed anxiety and inhibitory control?
Septo-hippocampal system, OFC, serotonin
