Young people in out‐of‐home care are substantially more likely to meet criteria for PTSD than their peers, while their early maltreatment exposure may also place them at greater risk of developing the newly proposed complex PTSD. Yet, there remains limited empirical evidence for the mechanisms that might drive either PTSD or complex features in this group, and ongoing debate about the suitability of existing cognitive behavioural models and their related NICE‐recommended treatments. In a prospective study of young people in out‐of‐home care, we sought to identify demographic and cognitive processes that may contribute to the maintenance of both PTSD symptom and complex features.

户外护理年轻人（复杂）创伤后压力的认知预测因素的纵向研究

在家外护理的年轻人比同龄人更有可能满足 PTSD 的标准，而他们早期的虐待暴露也可能使他们面临更大的发展新提出的复杂 PTSD 的风险。然而，对于可能导致该组 PTSD 或复杂特征的机制，以及关于现有认知行为模型及其相关 NICE 推荐治疗的适用性的持续辩论，仍然存在有限的经验证据。在一项针对户外护理的年轻人的前瞻性研究中，我们试图确定可能有助于维持 PTSD 症状和复杂特征的人口统计学和认知过程。
