Die aktuelle weltpolitische Lage führt dazu, dass immer mehr potentiell traumatisierte Kinder der Unterstützung von Fachleuten – auch in der psychologischen Grundversorgung - bedürfen. Traumata können bei Kindern aber auch durch Hospitalisationen und damit verbundene medizinische Eingriffe, Un...fälle o.ä. ausgeloest werden, wie im Folgenden beschrieben wird.
Die Diagnose von Traumafolgestörungen bei Kindern ist durch die Tatsache erschwert, dass sie eine Reihe unspezifischer und altersabhängiger Symptome zeigen, die auch bei anderen Störungen auftreten, was unter Umständen zu Fehldiagnosen (ADHS) führen kann.
Aus diesem Grund hat die vorliegende Arbeit zum Ziel, Fachpersonen eine Zusammenstellung grundlegender Informationen zur Entstehung und Diagnostik von Traumafolgestörungen sowie einen Überblick über gängige Diagnoseinstrumente zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Afin de mesurer le niveau et les tendances des indicateurs relatifs à la situation des enfants et des femmes, l'UNICEF a élaboré, depuis les années 1990, le programme mondial des enquêtes MICS. Ce programme international permet une comparabilité des indicateurs entre les différents pays. Cett...e enquête dénommé MICS Urbaine Dakar fait suite aux MICS1 et MICS2 réalisées respectivement en 1996 et 2000. Les résultats présentés dans ce rapport constituent à la fois une évaluation des progrès réalisés dans le respect des engagements convenus au niveau international par l’Etat du Sénégal, et une situation de référence pour le suivi des Objectifs de Développement Durable à l’horizon 2030.
