This study investigates the cumulative impact of sexual abuse in childhood and adult interpersonal violence in the past year on depressive symptoms in a nonclinical sample of 265 primarily African American (74%) women. The frequency of depressive symptoms, measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), was highest for women who experienced both forms of victimization. Women who reported greater stress over life's daily hassles reported more depressive symptoms. Women with higher levels of family support and a sense of personal mastery reported fewer depressive symptoms. The final model explained 42% of the variance in CES-D scores. Implications for practitioners are discussed.
本研究调查了童年期性虐待和过去一年成人期人际暴力对265名主要为非裔美国女性（74%）的非临床样本中抑郁症状的累积影响。通过流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）测量的抑郁症状频率，在经历了两种形式受害的女性中最高。报告在日常生活琐事上压力更大的女性，报告的抑郁症状更多。家庭支持水平较高且有个人掌控感的女性，报告的抑郁症状较少。最终模型解释了CES-D得分中42%的方差。文中讨论了对从业者的启示。
