This article reports findings from a cross-sectional study exploring relationships between trauma exposure, childhood traumatic stress, and family functioning. Data were collected from a sample of 100 mostly African American, 6- to 9-year-old children and their caregivers who were living in low-income, urban neighborhoods and analyzed using hierarchical multiple regressions. The children experienced high levels of exposure and traumatic stress symptoms. Trauma exposure was correlated with reexperiencing, avoidance, and arousal and also with externalizing behavior problems. Reexperiencing and avoidance symptoms were related to lower ratings of the value of family routines reported by caregivers. Higher ratings of family structure, including both organization and support, were related to fewer internalizing and externalizing behavior problems.
本文报告了一项横断面研究的结果,该研究探讨了创伤暴露、儿童期创伤应激与家庭功能之间的关系。数据收集自100名主要为非裔美国的6至9岁儿童及其照顾者,他们生活在低收入城市社区,并使用分层多元回归进行分析。这些儿童经历了高水平的暴露和创伤应激症状。创伤暴露与重现、回避和唤醒相关,也与外化行为问题相关。重现和回避症状与照顾者报告的家庭日常价值评分较低有关。家庭结构的较高评分,包括组织和支持,与较少的内化和外化行为问题有关。
