Summary

Experiencing an accident and staying in the hospital can be scary and traumatic for children. The goal of this project is to develop an online resource to help children and their parents develop effective coping skills to manage their stress. Children ages 8-17 who exhibit signs of posttraumatic stress will view 8 online modules and attend weekly videoconferencing sessions with a therapist. Parents will have 4 modules to assist them in supporting their child after the injury.

Detailed description

The overarching goal of this project is to provide a research and treatment resource for the management of psychological distress in children who have been hospitalized for a physical trauma. The investigators will pilot an innovative, brief e-health approach to treatment of PTSS designed to be delivered through the trauma system. The investigators will create interactive web-based psychoeducational modules that are developmentally tailored for school age children (8 to 17 years) for use with synchronous e-health therapy sessions with a trained therapist. Companion modules for parents will help parents to understand and respond to their child's PTSS. The investigators will perform a single-arm pilot trial of a brief e-health approach to treatment of PTSS (i.e., Recovery after Stress Toolkit; ReSeT). ( delete with usual care.)
