“…Aside from improved training, consequent early screening and prevention and psychoeducation should be applied routinely. Sharing information about the medical condition with children (Ben-Ari et al, 2019b), disclosure about expected pain, and enabling the child to decide and to choose (Ahrens-Eipper & Nelius, 2017) show ways to reduce posttraumatic distress. Coping strategies such as distraction and relaxation should be supported (Forgey & Bursch, 2013).…”

The purpose of the present review was to systematically review, synthesize and quantify prevalence rates of subclinical and clinical psychological symptoms in children and adolescents who have undergone surgery. Systematic literature searches were conducted twofold in April 8, 2020 and March 7, 2021 in PsycInfo and PubMed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Manuscripts were screened against eligibility criteria and were included if they investigated psychological symptoms in children or adolescents (age between 1 to 21 years at the time of study) who were hospitalized for pediatric surgery. Means and standard deviations weighted by sample size were calculated. Eleven articles met inclusion criteria. The review revealed that a small but substantial number of children and adolescents are at an elevated risk for postoperative psychological symptoms and disorders. Up to 13% had symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of a posttraumatic stress disorder, 6% to 8% exhibited elevated symptoms of depression or anxiety, and about 25% showed internalizing and externalizing symptoms. This review provides preliminary evidence that children and adolescents experience significant psychological distress and posttraumatic stress symptoms after pediatric surgery. Apart from better training of clinicians, prevention, early psychological screening and psychosocial care in surgical wards of hospitals are recommended. Well-designed studies of high methodological quality are necessary to replicate existing findings and provide a broader base of evidence.

Die Nichtbeachtung traumabezogenen Erlebens im Rahmen einer Erkrankung verschlechtert den Heilungsprozess und die Prognose bis hin zur Mortalität. Ein multimodales, körperbezogenes therapeutisches Vorgehen greift die Erschütterungen im Bezug zum Körper und die strukturellen Veränderungen im Selbsterleben auf. Eine familienbezogene Perspektive ist notwendig, da Angehörige teilweise höhere Belastungswerte aufweisen. So wird posttraumatisches Wachstum möglich.
