本研究探讨了儿童虐待，暴露于母亲的家庭暴力，创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）心理学之间的相互关系，在一个多种族的样本111名成年女性居民的家庭暴力（DV）庇护所。参与者完成了结构化的采访，DV和他们以前的暴力暴露，以及事件规模的影响，修订。正如假设的那样，暴露于母亲DV和儿童期的身体和性虐待之间有很高的共同发生率，并且终生暴力暴露的频率预测了PTSD的发病率。一系列的多重回归表明了一种更复杂的关系模式，其中特定形式的先前暴力暴露预测了不同的PTSD症状维度。目睹母亲DV的历史预测入侵症状，和儿童期性虐待的历史预测过度觉醒症状。种族与暴力暴露水平或PTSD症状无关。临床意义的研究结果进行了讨论。
This study examines the interrelationships between childhood abuse, exposure to maternal domestic violence, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology in a multiethnic sample of 111 adult female residents of a domestic violence (DV) shelter. Participants completed structured interviews about the DV and their prior violence exposure, as well as the Impact of Event Scale-Revised. As hypothesized, there was high co-occurrence between exposure to maternal DV and childhood physical and sexual abuse, and the frequency of lifetime violence exposure predicted PTSD symptomatology. A series of multiple regressions indicated a more complex pattern of relationships, in which specific forms of prior violence exposure predicted different PTSD symptom dimensions. A history of witnessing maternal DV predicted intrusion symptoms, and a history of childhood sexual abuse predicted hyperarousal symptoms. Ethnicity was not related to levels of violence exposure or to PTSD symptoms. Clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
