    基督教聖經之智慧書導讀 : Although some children may demonstrate resilience following an injury and medical treatment, many children, approximately 30%, experience Pediatric Medical Traumatic Stress (PMTS). PMTS is a cluster of physiological and psychological responses that emerge in children and their families as a result of pain, injury, serious illness, medical procedures, and invasive and/or frightening treatment processes, associated with many adverse outcomes. There is an established relationship between parent PMTS and child PMTS, but explanations for this relationship are inconclusive. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the moderating influence of family functioning on the relationship between parent and child PMTS. This study is a secondary analysis of the data from two selected studies from the Prospective studies of Acute Child Trauma and Recovery (PACT/R) Data Archive. A linear regression test was conducted, and consistent with the literature, this linear regression test demonstrated that parent PMTS significantly predicted child PMTS. However, results demonstrated that family functioning did not significantly moderate the relationship between parent and child PMTS. The non-significant findings are most likely due to methodological limitations of the study. However, this study supports that therapeutic interventions should, at the very least, incorporate parents, in order to reduce PMTS symptoms and the potential transmission of PMTS to children. Some interventions already exist and there is a potential for growth in this clinical area of PMTS.
