Many women are exposed to partner violence during their lifetime which affects mental health and child development. This study revalidates an intergenerational model connecting partner violence to poor functioning for mothers and children using structural equation techniques.
A longitudinal design collected data on 300 mother-child pairs. Comparisons between the model, tested at study entry and again at 24 months, are reported. Maternal measures included childhood experiences of abuse, partner abuse, chronic pain, and mental health. The Child Behavior Checklist measured child function.
Comparison of both models revealed that maternal chronic pain, maternal mental health, and child witnessing of mother's abuse remain strong predictors of child dysfunction. Maternal social support and self-efficacy are significant predictors of more positive maternal mental health with a conduit effect on child behavior.
Intimate partner violence directly impacts the victim and also has a secondary impact on the children of abuse victims.
许多女性在其一生中遭受伴侣暴力,这会影响心理健康和儿童发育。本研究使用结构方程技术重新验证了一个将伴侣暴力与母亲和儿童功能不良联系起来的代际模型。
采用纵向设计收集了300对母婴的数据。报告了在研究开始时和24个月时对该模型进行测试的比较情况。母亲的测量指标包括童年虐待经历、伴侣虐待、慢性疼痛和心理健康。儿童行为检查表用于测量儿童功能。
两个模型的比较表明,母亲的慢性疼痛、母亲的心理健康以及儿童目睹母亲受虐仍然是儿童功能障碍的有力预测因素。母亲的社会支持和自我效能感是母亲心理健康状况更积极的重要预测因素,并对儿童行为产生传导效应。
亲密伴侣暴力直接影响受害者,也对虐待受害者的子女产生间接影响。
