The path from trait anxiety to post-concussion symptoms and posttraumatic stress symptoms in children with mTBI: the moderating role of alexithymia

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe how alexithymia moderates the relationship between pre-injury trait anxiety and post-concussion symptoms in children with mild traumatic brain injury, including the specific conditions under which this moderation effect becomes statistically significant.

2. Explain the bidirectional relationship between children’s and parents’ posttraumatic stress symptoms following pediatric mild traumatic brain injury, and identify how children’s alexithymia levels influence parental stress responses during the acute recovery phase.
