“…In the Michaels et al study (Michaels, Michaels, Moon, Smith, Zimmerman, Taheri, & Peterson, 1999, N=100) the independent association between PD and PTSD was again low; after controlling for a few control variables PD explained 8.2% of PTSD in violence and burn victims. Van Loey et al (2003) examined a large sample (N=254) of burn victims and found that PD and other predictors together explained 42% of the variance in IES-scores.…”

The independent predictive value of peritraumatic dissociation for PTSD symptomatology after type I trauma: a systematic review of prospective studies van der Velden, P G; Wittmann, L van der Velden, P G; Wittmann, L (2008). The independent predictive value of peritraumatic dissociation for PTSD symptomatology after type I trauma: a systematic review of prospective studies. The independent predictive value of peritraumatic dissociation for PTSD symptomatology after type I trauma: a systematic review of prospective studies AbstractWe conducted a systematic review of prospective studies examining the independent predictive value of peritraumatic dissociation (PD) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology following single traumatic events. Insight into the independent predictive value may help to identify victims at risk for PTSD symptomatology. For this purpose a literature search was carried out using the online databases PsycINFO, Medline/Pubmed, and PILOTS. Studies were included if they were published in peer-reviewed journals (before 2007), focused on more or less single traumatic events (Type I trauma), assessed PD within 1 month, had follow-ups 3 months or later, and which controlled for mental health problems at the time PD was assessed. The majority of the 17 identified studies showed no or only weak indications of an independent predictive value of PD for PTSD symptomatology following type I traumas. Only 3 of the 6 studies with positive results reported a strong independent predictive value of PD. Although bivariately associated with PTSD symptomatology, there is no general consensus across prospective Type I trauma studies that PD qualifies as an important independent predictor of PTSD symptomatology.

“…Children's emotional recovery has the potential to affect the course of their physical recovery. Studies of injured adults have documented the impact of emotional factors on physical recovery and functional outcome (Michaels et al, 1998(Michaels et al, , 1999Richmond, Kauder, & Schwab, 1998). Similar prospective studies of children following EMS involvement are needed to specifically address the association between physical and emotional recovery for children and adolescents, but some aspects of this connection are already well established.…”

Abstract. Objective: To address the mental health needs of children involved in emergency medical services (EMS). Methods: A multidisciplinary consensus conference convened to identify mental health needs of children and their families related to pediatric medical emergencies, to examine the impact of psychological aspects of emergencies on recovery and satisfaction with care, and to delineate research questions related to mental health aspects of medical emergencies involving children. Results: The consensus group found that psychological and behavioral factors affect physical as well as emotional recovery after medical emergencies. Children's reactions are critically affected by age and developmental level, characteristics of the emergency medical event, and parent reactions. As frontline health care providers, EMS staff members are in a pivotal position to recognize and effectively manage the mental health needs of patients and their families. Conclusions: Ecological changes in emergency departments, such as linkages to mental health follow-up services, training of EMS providers and mental health professionals, and focused research that provides an empirical basis for practice, are necessary components for improving current standards of health care.

“…One explanation for these discrepancies is that the inclusion of mental health variables in the current analyses potentially obscures precise characterizations of the associations between TBI and CMI and functional health measures. Previous studies have suggested that mental health factors in general, and PTSD in particular, might be a mediator of such relationships [13,15,[46][47]. However, post hoc zero-order correlation analyses also fail to show any relationships between TBI/CMI and functional health (with one exception being a small association between TBI severity and the Role Limitations: Emotional subscale).…”
