abstract="OBJECTIVE : Examine differences in maternal and paternal coping and distress following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and orthopedic injuries (OI).    METHOD : Concurrent cohort/prospective design with five assessments between 1 and an average of 7 years after injury of children aged 3-6 years hospitalized for TBI (n = 87) or OI (n = 119). Mixed models analyses were used to examine hypotheses. <br><br>RESULTS : Overall, fathers reported greater depression and general distress than mothers 18 months after injury, but not at long-term follow-up. Active and acceptance coping were unrelated to parental sex, injury factors, or time since injury. A group × rater × time interaction was noted for Denial coping. Following severe TBI, fathers reported greater denial at 18 months, whereas mothers reported greater denial at the long-term follow-up. Denial coping did not differ between mothers and fathers following OI and moderate TBI.  CONCLUSIONS : Parental response to early TBI is complex and may warrant clinical intervention even years after injury.<br><br>© The Author 2016.
