对患有严重精神疾病的人的暴力问题很少受到注意,尽管一些研究表明,这一人群中受害的发生率非常高。本文描述了一项调查的结果,在过去一年的身体和性侵犯的患病率和相关性之间的大样本的妇女和男子与SMI从住院和门诊设置在4个州。结果证实了初步调查结果的高流行率的受害在这一人群中(性虐待更普遍的妇女和身体虐待更普遍的男子),并表明存在一系列的相关最近的受害,包括人口因素和生活环境,童年虐待的历史,精神疾病的严重程度和药物滥用。这些发现的研究和临床意义进行了讨论。
The Problem of violence against individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) has received relatively little notice, despite several studies suggesting an exceptionally high prevalence of victimization in this population. This paper describes the results of an investigation of the prevalence and correlates of past year physical and sexual assault among a large sample of women and men with SMI drawn from inpatient and outpatient settings across 4 states. Results confirmed preliminary findings of a high prevalence of victimization in this population (with sexual abuse more prevalent for women and physical abuse more prevalent for men), and indicated the existence of a range of correlates of recent victimization, including demographic factors and living circumstances, history of childhood abuse, and psychiatric illness severity and substance abuse. The research and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
