The purpose of the secondary analysis was to determine agreement of parents and children to the interpersonal violence (IPV) items on the Keep Your Children/Yourself Safe and Secure (KySS) survey to assess mental health concerns.
A comparative, descriptive design was used to determine the level of agreement between parent/child dyads on the 15 attitude/knowledge and worry items related to IPV (n = 563 dyads).
Single mother/son and 10- to 12-year-olds had less agreement than other dyad combinations and child age groups. Six of the 10 knowledge/attitude items had significant differences, including multigenerational occurrence of sexual abuse, the effect of harsh parenting, witnessing domestic violence, and incidence of physical abuse. The least agreement was on sexual abuse, incidence of physical abuse, and outcome of strict parenting (p < .001). Parents had greater worry about the parent-child relationship than did the children (p < .001).
Parents and clinicians may not realize how different their understanding of IPV is from that of children. Identifying items of least agreement can inform parents and clinicians in targeting violence education and prevention.
本次二次分析旨在确定父母和子女对“保持儿童/自身安全”(KySS)调查中与人际暴力(IPV)相关的项目的认同度,以评估心理健康问题。
采用对比描述性设计,以确定 15 个与 IPV 相关的态度/知识和担忧项目的父母/子女对子的认同度(n = 563 对子)。
单亲母亲/儿子和 10 至 12 岁的孩子比其他对子组合和儿童年龄组的认同度低。10 个知识/态度项目中有 6 个存在显著差异,包括性虐待的代际发生、严厉养育的影响、目睹家庭暴力以及身体虐待的发生率。父母对亲子关系的担忧程度大于子女(p <.001)。
父母和临床医生可能没有意识到他们对 IPV 的理解与孩子的理解有多么不同。确定认同度最低的项目可以为父母和临床医生提供信息,以便针对暴力教育和预防进行目标定位。
