The Child Accident Repeater

A Review

Jerry G. Jones

Department of Pediatrics, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, 4301 West Markham Street, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201

The child accident repeater is defined as one who has at least three accidents that come to medical attention within a year. The accident situation has features in common with those of the child who has a single accident through simple "bad luck", but other factors predispose him to repeated injury. In the child who has a susceptible personality, a tendency for accident repetition may be due to a breakdown in adjustment to a stressful environment. Prevention of repeat accidents should involve the usual measures considered appropriate for all children as well as an attempt to provide treatment of significant maladjustment and modification of a stressful environment.
