Abstract

Children aged 6 to 11 who have been injured in a traffic accident were observed over a one year period, in parallel with a control group of children. More than one-third of the injured children had been hospitalized (for periods ranging anywhere between 1 and 47 days). One year later, one injured child out of ten was still suffering from pain, and/or still being treated for injuries resulting from the accident. Many other factors were linked to the initial overall level of severity of the injuries, contrary to that of pain, such as the rate and duration of hospitalization, the duration of care provided, the number of medical consultations, and absenteeism from school. Children who had been injured in a road traffic accident were found to be more anxious and nervous, in general, as well as having a high prevalence of sleeping disorders in comparison to the children in the control group.
