“…The Parent Domain reflects parent's feelings of wellness and mental health, attachment, competence, and perceived ability to fulfill their parental roles. The role of parental competencies and coping strategies with their child's illness in determining their mental health has been previously demonstrated in the CHD population and other pediatric populations in the context of post-hospitalization traumatic stress (Farley et al, 2007;Franck et al, 2015;Stokes et al, 2020). Only late PTSD was predicted by the parenting stress Child Domain, which includes mainly a child's temperament and behavioral aspects, and parental expectations from the child.…”

“…Several studies reported that different factors relating to the severity of the surgery, complications within the surgery, or severity of the child’s illness can contribute to the development of traumatic stress. For example, studies reported that more invasive procedures, 24,30 complications such as the requirement for mechanical ventilation, 16,31 or the severity of the child’s condition 29 were all associated with higher PTSD. These findings related to both children and parents.…”

BackgroundChildren undergoing surgery, and their parents, are at risk of developing post-traumatic stress reactions. We systematically reviewed the literature to understand the prevalence of this issue, as well as potential risk factors.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, using PubMed, PsycInfo, Web of Science and Google Scholar, with searches conducted in February 2021. Papers were included if they measured post-traumatic stress in children and/or parents following paediatric surgery, and were excluded if they did not use a validated measure of post-traumatic stress. Data was extracted from published reports.FindingsOur search yielded a total of 1,672 papers, of which 16 of met our inclusion criteria. In meta-analysis, pooled studies of children estimated an overall prevalence of 16% meeting criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder post-surgery (N= 187, 95% CI : 5-31%, I2 = 80%). After pooling studies of parents, overall prevalence was estimated at 23% (N= 1444, 95% CI 16-31%, I2 = 91%). Risk factors reported within studies included length of stay, level of social support and parental mental health.InterpretationThere is consistent evidence of traumatic stress following surgery in childhood which warrants further investigation. Those delivering surgical care to children would benefit from a raised awareness of the potential for post-traumatic stress in their patients and their families, including offering screening and support.FundingWe did not seek or receive any funding for this study.
