N2 - As the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among children discharged from pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) continues to rise, corresponding research efforts have also increased. This scoping review aimed to review the PTSD prevalence, influencing factors, and tools used for PTSD measurements in children discharged from the PICU. This review employed the five-stage framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. The data sources included PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, ScienceDirect, Springer, Scopus, CNKI, and WANFANG. Studies in English or Chinese published up to September 2023 were eligible for inclusion. The search yielded a total of 3536 results, with 31 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. The included studies reported that the prevalence of PTSD ranged from a minimum of 13% to a maximum of 84.6%. Risk factors for PTSD included medical interventions, child-related factors, and family environment. A total of 17 assessment tools for PTSD in PICU patients were reported. Given the significance of PTSD in this pediatric population, further attention, research, and intervention are warranted to help alleviate the burden of PTSD.
