This study examined the contribution of pretrauma psychosocial factors (child emotional functioning, family resources, family functioning, and social support) and environmental factors (mother's posttraumatic stress symptoms [PTSSs], medical team support [MTS]) to PTSSs of injured or seriously ill children within a pediatric rehabilitation setting. It was hypothesized that psychosocial variables would be strongly associated with child's PTSS; that mother's PTSS and MTS would mediate the association between psychosocial factors and child's PTSS; that mother's report on child's PTSS would mediate the association between mother's PTSS and child's PTSS.
