关于目睹和遭受家庭暴力（DV）的儿童在精神病理学方面是否有类似的结果存在差异。这项工作探讨了不同类型的家庭暴力暴露与儿童精神病理学和功能障碍之间的关系。使用诊断访谈和其他精神病理学和功能障碍工具对 144 名年龄在 4 岁至 17 岁之间且接触过 DV 的西班牙儿童进行了评估。根据暴露程度，参与者被分为三组：目击者（n = 72）、涉案者（n = 52）和受害者（n = 20）。根据母亲的自我报告和母子综合信息，无论暴露程度如何，家庭暴力对精神病理学和功能障碍的影响均相同。儿童的自我报告呈现出线性趋势，即作为受害者比作为目击者呈现出更多的精神病理学。本研究中测得的家庭暴力暴露的不同影响取决于提供信息的人，这强调了从遭受家庭暴力的儿童那里获取信息的重要性。
There are discrepancies about whether children who witness and suffer domestic violence (DV) have similar outcomes in terms of psychopathology. This work examines the relationship between different types of exposure to DV and child psychopathology and functional impairment. One hundred and forty-four Spanish children aged from 4 to 17 years and exposed to DV were evaluated using a diagnostic interview and other instruments of psychopathology and functional impairment. The participants were classified in three groups according to the degree of exposure: witness (n = 72), involved (n = 52), and victim (n = 20). According to mothers' self-reports and mother-child combined information, DV equally affects psychopathology and functional impairment regardless of the degree of the exposure. Children's self-reports showed a linear trend to present greater psychopathology as a victim than as a witness. The differential effect of exposure to DV measured in this study depended on the informant, which underlines the importance of obtaining information from the children exposed to violence at home.
