The rate of lifetime exposure to physical and/or sexual abuse among homeless women is very high, and the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse is greater in this population than in the general population. The relationship between abuse and mental illness in homeless women is incompletely understood. Using multivariable logistic regression, the present study examines this relationship in a retrospective study of women seeking treatment at a psychiatric clinic for the homeless in Jacksonville, Florida. The results of this study indicate a strong association between abuse history and anxiety disorders, especially posttraumatic stress disorder.
无家可归女性一生中遭受身体虐待和/或性虐待的比例非常高，而且该人群中抑郁症、焦虑症和药物滥用的患病率高于普通人群。无家可归女性中虐待与精神疾病之间的关系尚未完全明确。本研究采用多变量逻辑回归分析，在一项针对佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔一家无家可归者精神病诊所寻求治疗的女性的回顾性研究中，对这种关系进行了探究。该研究结果表明，虐待史与焦虑症之间存在密切关联，尤其是创伤后应激障碍。
