Emotional abuse and neglect is an under-recognized, but is a common form of child abuse. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for emotional abuse in adolescents.
A cross-sectional survey on emotional abuse was conducted by anonymous self-administered questionnaire in 865 adolescents randomly sampled from three junior schools in Harbin City. A total of 844 valid questionnaires were received. Risk factors were studied by multivariate non-conditional regression analysis.
Over the past year, 47.3% of the 844 respondents suffered from emotional abuse. Monovariate regression analysis indicated that emotional abuse was related to 19 factors, including children's health status, parental marital status, parental educational levels, family rearing patterns, family atmosphere and so on. Multivariate regression analysis showed poor children's health status (OR=1.877, P=0.001), bad parental marital status (OR=1.768, P=0.004), and unjustifiable family rearing patterns [over-interference (OR=3.004, P=0.006) and assentation (OR=5.430, P=0.032)] were risk factors for the occurrence of emotional abuse. The harmonious family atmosphere and the harmonious relations between children and their parents were protective factors for emotional abuse.
The prevalence of emotional abuse is high in adolescents. Poor children's health status, bad parental marital status and unjustifiable family rearing patterns are risk factors for the occurrence of emotional abuse.
情感虐待与忽视是一种未得到充分认识但常见的虐待儿童形式。本研究旨在调查青少年情感虐待的危险因素。
采用匿名自填式问卷对哈尔滨市三所初中随机抽取的865名青少年进行情感虐待横断面调查。共收到有效问卷844份。通过多因素非条件回归分析研究危险因素。
在过去一年中，844名受访者中有47.3%遭受过情感虐待。单因素回归分析表明，情感虐待与19个因素有关，包括儿童健康状况、父母婚姻状况、父母教育程度、家庭养育方式、家庭氛围等。多因素回归分析显示，儿童健康状况差（比值比=1.877，P=0.001）、父母婚姻状况不佳（比值比=1.768，P=0.004）以及不合理的家庭养育方式[过度干涉（比值比=3.004，P=0.006）和溺爱（比值比=5.430，P=0.032）]是情感虐待发生的危险因素。和谐的家庭氛围以及儿童与父母之间的和谐关系是情感虐待的保护因素。
青少年情感虐待的发生率较高。儿童健康状况差、父母婚姻状况不佳以及不合理的家庭养育方式是情感虐待发生的危险因素。
