  • Title: Children's reactions to disaster.
    Author: Coffman S.
    Journal: J Pediatr Nurs; 1998 Dec; 13(6):376-82. PubMed ID: 9879174.
    Abstract:
    Children's reactions to disaster are influenced by their developmental stage, as well as by situational, personal, and family factors. This review describes children's experiences during man-made and natural disasters and uses drawings and narrative to illustrate specific reactions. Mental health outcomes, including post-traumatic stress disorder, are identified, as are approaches to working with children and families after disaster.
