Post-traumatic Stress Disorder is an emerging pathology in modern society with an approximate prevalence of 8%. It generates a great cost in health teams, as well as a great effort on their part, as well as deleterious repercussions for the life of the individual who suffers it and his family. From the moment a disease is diagnosed, motivating admission to a pediatric intensive care unit, both the patient and their relatives or primary caregivers are involved in a process or situation during which they may suffer significant emotional disturbances. The environment of an intensive care unit potentially affects patients psychologically in a negative way. Undergone experiences can continue even several months after hospital discharge, constituting risk factors for the development of a post-traumatic stress disorder, which would justify a follow-up with the aim of detecting them early. It is appropriate that the treatment of these patients be multidisciplinary, taking into account both the physical needs related to the disease as well as the psychological ones. The psycho-emotional consequences also generate important costs to the health system, which is why early prevention favors all areas of the system.
