父母的心理健康问题和不良的儿童结果之间的关联是有据可查的。很少有研究调查移民人口中创伤的代际影响。本研究探讨了父母的创伤，养育困难，计划的家庭分离的持续时间，和儿童外化行为的档案数据集的西非自愿和被迫移民在纽约市之间的关系。我们假设，养育困难将调解父母创伤后应激和儿童外化行为之间的关联，这种关联将是更强的父母-子女的二人组，经历了更长的分离过程中迁移。91名父母使用哈佛创伤问卷（HTQ）报告了他们的创伤后应激症状，并使用儿童行为检查表（CBCL Externalizing）的外部化项目报告了一名5至12岁儿童的行为健康状况。一个4项自我报告量表评估了上个月的育儿困难。线性回归分析显示，教养困难部分介导的HTQ和CBCL得分之间的关系。HTQ和CBCL分数之间的关系是不显着的父母与他们的孩子分开一年或更少，但对于那些从未分离或分离超过一年的显着。对于那些分离时间超过一年的人，较高的HTQ评分与较高的CBCL外部化评分最密切相关。研究结果表明，从创伤中恢复的移民儿童有表现出行为症状的风险，并强调了改善移民家庭儿童结局的潜在干预目标。
The association between parental mental health difficulties and poor child outcomes is well documented. Few studies have investigated the intergenerational effects of trauma in immigrant populations. This study examined the relationships among parental trauma, parenting difficulty, duration of planned family separation, and child externalizing behavior in an archival dataset of West African voluntary and forced immigrants in New York City. We hypothesized that parenting difficulty would mediate the association between parental posttraumatic stress and child externalizing behavior and that this association would be stronger for parent-child dyads that had undergone lengthier separations during migration. Ninety-one parents reported on their posttraumatic stress symptoms using the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ) and on the behavioral health of one child between the ages of 5 and 12 years using the externalizing items of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL Externalizing). A 4-item self-report scale assessed difficulty parenting in the last month. Linear regression analyses showed that parenting difficulty partially mediated the relationship between HTQ and CBCL scores. The relationship between HTQ and CBCL scores was not significant for parents separated from their children for one year or less but was significant for those never separated or separated for longer than one year. Higher HTQ scores were most strongly associated with higher CBCL Externalizing scores for those separated longer than one year. Findings suggest that children of immigrants recovering from trauma are at risk of exhibiting behavioral symptoms and highlight a potential intervention target for improving child outcomes in immigrant families.
