A total of 104 mothers whose children were receiving a psychological evaluation at a university outpatient clinic completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) as part of their child's evaluation. Of these, 32 (31%) mothers were seeking treatment for children who were victims of intrafamilial sexual abuse, 26 (25%) were requesting help for child victims of extrafamilial sexual abuse, and 46 (44%) were seeking counseling services for nonabused children who were exhibiting a variety of common childhood problems. Although there was no significant group difference for BDI raw scores or BDI score categories (i.e., Normal Functioning, Moderate Depression, Moderate-Severe Depression, Extremely Severe Depression), results revealed that 16 (50%) of the intrafamilial abuse mothers, 18 (69%) of the extrafamilial mothers, and 23 (50%) of the mothers of nonabused children reported experiencing at least a moderate degree of depression. Results are discussed relative to their clinical significance, and recommendations are provided for future research with mothers of sexually abused children.
共有104名母亲在大学门诊为孩子接受心理评估时，作为孩子评估的一部分完成了贝克抑郁量表（BDI）。其中，32名（31%）母亲为遭受家庭内性虐待的孩子寻求治疗，26名（25%）母亲为遭受家庭外性虐待的儿童寻求帮助，46名（44%）母亲为表现出各种常见儿童问题的未受虐待儿童寻求咨询服务。尽管在BDI原始分数或BDI分数类别（即正常功能、中度抑郁、中度至重度抑郁、极重度抑郁）上没有显著的组间差异，但结果显示，家庭内虐待组的16名（50%）母亲、家庭外虐待组的18名（69%）母亲和未受虐待儿童组的23名（50%）母亲报告至少经历了中度抑郁。讨论了结果的临床意义，并为未来对性虐待儿童母亲的研究提供了建议。
