There is growing literature on the psychologic impact on parents and families of having a child on the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), but less is known about the child's experience. In this article the relevant literature is explored and illustrated with examples from the author's research. Recurring themes are the persistence of distress in a significant minority of children and the association between parental anxiety and child's psychologic symptoms. The evidence on the extent of children's factual and delusional memories relating to PICU is also examined. Finally, the implications of the current state of knowledge for future research and for clinical work are discussed.
关于孩子入住儿科重症监护病房(PICU)对父母和家庭产生的心理影响,相关文献越来越多,但对于孩子自身的经历却知之甚少。在本文中,作者将探讨相关文献,并结合自身研究中的实例进行说明。反复出现的主题包括相当一部分儿童长期存在痛苦情绪,以及父母焦虑与孩子心理症状之间的关联。同时,本文还将审视关于孩子对PICU的事实性记忆和妄想性记忆程度的证据。最后,将讨论当前的知识现状对未来研究和临床工作的启示。
