Violence is a global health problem. Women in particular are likely to be targets of violent behavior. This study investigated the reactions of female victims to an individual act of interpersonal violence. A sample of 68 assaulted women registered as injured parties in 2 police districts were assessed for symptoms of acute stress disorder (ASD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at 3 weeks and after 4 months. Risk factors for developing psychological distress in the long-term were explored. High rates of ASD symptoms and distress measured with Post Traumatic Symptom Scale (PTSS-10), Impact of Event Scale (IES), and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-20) were reported by the women in the acute phase. Four months post-assault, the high rates of stress reactions measured with PTSS-10, IES, and GHQ-20 were significantly reduced, but not for all the women. Dissatisfaction with one's previous life, previous mental health problems, post-assault life events and earlier abuse were risk factors for 4 months post-assault stress reactions.
暴力是一个全球性的健康问题。女性尤其容易成为暴力行为的目标。本研究调查了女性受害者对人际暴力个别行为的反应。对在两个警区登记为受害方的68名受攻击女性样本，在3周和4个月后评估急性应激障碍（ASD）和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的症状。探讨了长期出现心理困扰的风险因素。这些女性在急性期报告了创伤后症状量表（PTSS - 10）、事件影响量表（IES）和一般健康问卷（GHQ - 20）所测量的高ASD症状率和困扰程度。攻击发生四个月后，PTSS - 10、IES和GHQ - 20所测量的高应激反应率显著降低，但并非所有女性都是如此。对过去生活的不满、既往心理健康问题、攻击后生活事件和早期虐待是攻击后4个月应激反应的风险因素。
