长期以来,童年时期遭受暴力和创伤事件与成年后的身心健康状况不佳有关。然而,很少有研究采取步骤了解遭受亲密伴侣暴力与幼儿身体健康问题之间的直接关系。在这项研究中,我们检查了102名暴露于IPV的学龄前儿童的母亲报告的身体健康问题。我们发现,表现出更多创伤应激症状的儿童总体健康问题较少;然而,胃肠道问题和哮喘与心理调节不良有关。我们还发现,学龄前女孩比男孩更容易出现健康问题。对幼儿接触IPV对身体健康的影响的未来研究将受益于对生理过程的具体变化的检查,以得出关于暴力对免疫系统功能和身体健康的影响的结论。
Exposure to violence and traumatic events during childhood has long been associated with poor physical and psychological health during adulthood. Very few studies, however, have taken steps to understand the immediate relationship between exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) and physical health problems in young children. In this study, we examined the mother-reported physical health problems of 102 preschool-age children who have been exposed to IPV. We found that children exhibiting more traumatic stress symptoms displayed fewer total health problems; however, gastrointestinal problems and asthma were related to poor psychological adjustment. We also found that preschool-age girls were more likely to display health problems than boys. Future studies of the physical health consequences of exposure to IPV in young children would benefit from examinations of specific changes in physiological processes to draw conclusions about the effects of violence on immune system functioning and physical health.
