Traumatic experiences and sleep disturbances are both common in children and adolescents. Because of the reciprocal relationship between sleep complaints and trauma, a mental health evaluation should include not only an assessment of posttraumatic stress disorder and other trauma symptoms but also a specific evaluation of sleep-related complaints. Similarly, if a history of both trauma and sleep complaints is identified, an effective trauma-informed intervention, whether psychological, psychopharmacologic, or a combination of the two, should directly address sleep issues.
创伤经历和睡眠障碍在儿童和青少年中都很常见。由于睡眠问题和创伤之间存在相互关系,心理健康评估不仅应包括对创伤后应激障碍和其他创伤症状的评估,还应包括对与睡眠相关的投诉进行具体评估。同样,如果同时存在创伤和睡眠问题的病史,有效的创伤知情干预措施,无论是心理、精神药理学还是两者的结合,都应直接解决睡眠问题。
