The aim of the study was to document perceived social support in a sample of German war-raped women in World War II. Furthermore the impact of this potential resource on today's posttraumatic symptoms should be pointed out.
27 women (M = 80.3 years, SD = 3.1 years) answered each a semi-structured interview and several questionnaires.
Perceived social support shows clearly lower values than in the comparative samples. The measured degree of the variable in the present sample bears negative relationship to the actual posttraumatic symptoms of the women.
In World War II sexually traumatized women could profit only few from the examined resource. The found negative relationship between perceived social support and posttraumatic symptoms shows additionally the potentially long-lasting impact of these form of coping on psychological health in trauma victims.
本研究旨在记录二战期间德国遭战争强奸女性样本中的感知社会支持情况。此外,还应指出这种潜在资源对当今创伤后症状的影响。
27名女性(平均年龄M = 80.3岁,标准差SD = 3.1岁)分别接受了半结构化访谈并填写了几份问卷。
感知社会支持的值明显低于对照样本。本样本中该变量的测量程度与女性实际的创伤后症状呈负相关。
在二战中遭受性创伤的女性从所研究的资源中获益甚少。感知社会支持与创伤后症状之间的负相关关系还表明了这种应对方式对创伤受害者心理健康可能产生的长期影响。
