美国儿科学会不鼓励打屁股，尤其是对婴幼儿。本研究探讨了母亲移民一代与1岁儿童打屁股之间的关系，以及这种关系是否受到家庭暴力（DV）的影响。方法我们利用脆弱家庭和儿童福利研究的1年波数据进行了横断面二次数据分析。我们使用描述性统计来探讨第一代、第二代、第三代或更高代（参照组）母亲的人口统计学差异。在控制协变量的情况下，我们进行了逻辑回归来检验移民一代与打屁股之间的关系。我们使用分层逻辑回归来评估遭受家暴如何影响移民一代与打屁股之间的关系。结果本研究包括370名第一代母亲、165名第二代母亲和1754名参照组母亲。打屁股的流行程度在移民世代之间存在差异（p = 0.004）。与参照组相比，第一代母亲打屁股的几率有统计学意义上的显著降低（调整OR 0.26; CI 0.11-0.64）。与参照组相比，二代母亲打屁股的几率也较低，但这一结果没有达到统计学意义（调整OR 0.60; CI 0.22-1.63）。母亲遭受家庭暴力的报告似乎影响了移民一代和打屁股之间的关系。与参照组母亲相比，第一代移民母亲被打屁股的几率较低，这一关联在第二代移民母亲和经历过家庭暴力的母亲中都有所减弱。未来的工作应该探索导致移民世代之间打屁股差异的潜在因素。
IntroductionThe American Academy of Pediatrics discourages spanking, especially of infants and young toddlers. This study examines the association between maternal immigrant generation and reported spanking of 1-year-old children, and whether this association is impacted by domestic violence (DV).MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional secondary data analysis using 1-year wave data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. We used descriptive statistics to explore demographic differences among first-generation, second-generation, and third-generation or higher (reference group) mothers. We conducted logistic regression to examine the association between immigrant generation and spanking, controlling for covariates. We used stratified logistic regression to evaluate how experiencing DV may impact the association between immigrant generation and spanking.ResultsThe study included 370 first-generation mothers, 165 second-generation mothers, and 1754 reference group mothers. The prevalence of spanking differed across immigrant generations (p = 0.004). First-generation mothers had statistically significant lower odds of spanking compared with the reference group (adjusted OR 0.26; CI 0.11–0.64). Second-generation mothers also had lower odds of spanking compared with the reference group, although this result did not reach statistical significance (adjusted OR 0.60; CI 0.22–1.63). Mothers’ report of experiencing DV appeared to impact the relationship between immigrant generation and spanking.DiscussionFirst-generation immigrant mothers had lower odds of reported spanking compared to reference group mothers, an association which is attenuated for both second-generation immigrant mothers and mothers who have experienced DV. Future work should explore the potential factors that drive variations in spanking between immigrant generations.
