目的：本研究探讨了儿童期性虐待和身体虐待在成年人从一般population.Method的患病率和心理后遗症：一个国家的抽样服务产生了一个地理分层，随机抽样的1,442名受试者从美国。向受试者邮寄了一份问卷，其中包括创伤事件调查（TES）[创伤事件调查，未发表的心理测试，Harbor-UCLA医学中心，洛杉矶]和创伤症状量表（TSI）[创伤症状量表专业手册，心理评估资源，敖德萨，佛罗里达州]。在所有潜在受试者中，935人（64.8%）返回了基本完成的调查。结果：66名男性和152名女性（分别为14.2%和32.3%）报告童年经历符合性虐待标准，103名男性和92名女性（分别为22.2%和19.5%）符合身体虐待标准。有21%的受试者曾遭受过一种类型的虐待，而且这两种类型都与后来的成年受害有关。在控制了人口统计学、成人人际暴力史和其他儿童虐待后，儿童期性虐待与TSI的所有10个量表相关，身体虐待与除性问题外的所有TSI量表相关。性虐待比身体虐待或成人人际伤害预测更多的症状变异。身体和性虐待经历的各个方面都可以预测TSI评分。然而，施虐者的性行为，无论是单独的和与受害者的性互动，是不相关的附加TSI patiatology.Conclusions：儿童期的性虐待和身体虐待是相对常见的在一般人群中，并与各种各样的心理症状。即使在控制了相关背景变量之后，这些关系仍然存在。(C)2003 Elsevier Ltd.保留所有权利。
Objective: This study examined the prevalence and psychological sequelae of childhood sexual and physical abuse in adults from the general population.Method: A national sampling service generated a geographically stratified, random sample of 1,442 subjects from the United States. Subjects were mailed a questionnaire that included the Traumatic Events Survey (TES) [Traumatic Events Survey, Unpublished Psychological Test, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles] and the Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI) [Trauma Symptom Inventory Professional Manual, Psychological Assessment Resources, Odessa, FL]. Of all potential subjects, 935 (64.8%) returned substantially completed surveys.Results: Sixty-six men and 152 women(14.2% and 32.3%, respectively) reported childhood experiences that satisfied criteria for sexual abuse, and 103 males and 92 females (22.2% and 19.5%, respectively) met criteria for physical abuse. Twenty-one percent of subjects with one type of abuse also had experienced the other type, and both types were associated with subsequent adult victimization. After controlling for demographics, adult history of interpersonal violence, and other child abuse, childhood sexual abuse was associated with all 10 scales of the TSI, and physical abuse was related to all TSI scales except those tapping sexual issues. Sexual abuse predicted more symptom variance than did physical abuse or adult interpersonal victimization. Various aspects of both physical and sexual abuse experiences were predictive of TSI scores. Abuser sex, however, both alone and in interaction with victim sex, was not associated with additional TSI symptomatology.Conclusions: Childhood sexual and physical abuse is relatively common in the general population, and is associated with a wide variety of psychological symptoms. These relationships remain even after controlling for relevant background variables. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
