DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Scientific knowledge about the effects of trauma on children, including domestic violence, has grown significantly in the last few years. However, there are some areas that have not been well described yet, including the effect of uxoricide on children. Uxoricide, the killing of one spouse by the other is, unfortunately, an all too common occurrence. In a family with minor children the effect can be devastating, for in a single act, the children lose both parents - one has died and the other is either a fugitive, in prison or has committed suicide. Some studies have begun to document the immediate effect of this kind of trauma on children, but the long-term consequences have not been investigated. In order to develop ways to help these most vulnerable children, research needs to be conducted on what they face growing up. This retrospective, exploratory study will use qualitative methods to describe the experiences of children from the time of the traumatic killing until adulthood. The sample will consist of 90 men and women, who when they were children lived through the killing of one of their parents by the other. The participants will be asked to give a narrative account of their experiences as children including those circumstances, people, ideas, or attitudes that helped or hindered them.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于创伤对儿童的影响，包括家庭暴力的科学知识，在过去几年中显着增长。然而，还有一些领域尚未得到很好的描述，包括杀妻子对儿童的影响。不幸的是，杀妻，即配偶一方杀害另一方，是一种太常见的现象。在一个有未成年子女的家庭中，这种影响可能是毁灭性的，因为在一个单一的行为中，孩子们失去了双亲-一个已经死亡，另一个要么是逃犯，要么是在监狱里，要么是自杀。一些研究已经开始记录这种创伤对儿童的直接影响，但长期后果尚未调查。为了找到帮助这些最弱势儿童的方法，需要对他们在成长过程中面临的问题进行研究。这项回顾性的探索性研究将使用定性方法来描述儿童从创伤性杀戮到成年的经历。样本将由90名男性和女性组成，他们在童年时经历了父母一方被另一方杀害的经历。参与者将被要求叙述他们作为孩子的经历，包括那些帮助或阻碍他们的环境，人，想法或态度。
