Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT：
Objectives: To study the PTSD symptoms in young children 1-5 years of age during 921 Earthquake and their relation to earthquake exposure(EE) experience. The study also explored the behavioral emotional problems of these children three years later and their relation with EE experience, PTSD symptoms , parental mental health, and family stressors.
Method: EE experience and PTSD symptoms of child, CHQ-12 for parent, FACES-III and FILE were completed by parents or main caregivers of 712 children who were 1-5 years of age during 921 Earthquake.
Result: 1. Valid sample is 712 used in analysis. 17.1% of them had at least 1 EE experience.
2. 62 (8.7%) fulfilled PTSD criteria for young children (Sherringa et al., 1995). Among PTSD symptoms, new Fears/Aggression, Reexperiencing and Arousal are more common, while Numbing is rarely observed.
3. Temperament of Child（Cluster A,C）and EE experience are significantly associated with PTSD symptoms 3 months after the quakes.
4. CBCL scores are marginally associated with EE experience. CBCL scores are significantly predicted by Temperament of Child（Cluster A,B）, PTSD score, Parental CHQ, and intrafamily strains
.
Conclusions. 1. Earthquake will increase PTSD among young Children. 2. PTSD predicts children’s later emotional behavioral problems.
