The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between child sexual abuse (CSA) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in female inmates in China. A total of 471 participants were assessed for CSA, personality traits, coping strategies, and frequency of lifetime PTSD. Results demonstrated that CSA and negative coping were predictive factors for lifetime PTSD among female inmates after personality traits were controlled. The findings suggest that CSA is one potential factor contributing to lifetime PTSD among female inmates. The importance of screening for CSA among female inmates was highly emphasized. Early intervention and prevention programmes based on coping skills may be useful to forestall the development of chronic PTSD in female inmates.
该研究的目的是评估中国女性囚犯中儿童性虐待(CSA)与创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)之间的关系。共有471名参与者接受了关于儿童性虐待、人格特质、应对策略以及终身创伤后应激障碍发生频率的评估。结果表明,在控制人格特质后,儿童性虐待和消极应对是女性囚犯终身患创伤后应激障碍的预测因素。研究结果表明,儿童性虐待是导致女性囚犯终身患创伤后应激障碍的一个潜在因素。该研究高度强调了在女性囚犯中筛查儿童性虐待的重要性。基于应对技能的早期干预和预防方案可能有助于预防女性囚犯慢性创伤后应激障碍的发展。
