The aim of the present study is to investigate associations between parental separation/divorce during childhood, and self-reported psychological health, adjusting for social capital, social support, civil status and economic stress in childhood. A cross-sectional public health survey was conducted in the autumn of 2012 in Scania, southern Sweden, with a postal questionnaire with 28,029 participants aged 18-80. Associations between parental separation/divorce during childhood and self-reported psychological health (GHQ12) were investigated using logistic regressions. A 16.1% proportion of all men 22.4% of all women reported poor psychological health. Among men, 20.4% had experienced parental separation during childhood until age 18 years, the corresponding prevalence among women was 22.3%. Parental separation/divorce in childhood was significantly associated with poor self-rated psychological health among men who had experienced parental separation/divorce at ages 0-4, and among women with this experience at ages 0-4, 10-14 and 15-18. These significant associations remained throughout the multiple analyses. The results support the notion that the experience of parental separation/divorce in childhood may influence psychological health in adulthood, particularly if it is experienced in the age interval 0-4 years.
本研究旨在探讨儿童时期父母离异/离婚与自我报告的心理健康之间的关联，同时调整了童年时期的社会资本、社会支持、婚姻状况和经济压力等因素。2012 年秋季，在瑞典南部斯科讷进行了一项横断面公共卫生调查，采用问卷调查的方式，共有 28029 名 18-80 岁的参与者参与。使用逻辑回归分析了儿童时期父母离异/离婚与自我报告的心理健康（GHQ12）之间的关联。所有男性中有 16.1%，所有女性中有 22.4%报告心理健康状况不佳。在男性中，有 20.4%的人在 18 岁之前经历过父母离异，而女性中这一比例为 22.3%。儿童时期的父母离异/离婚与经历过 0-4 岁、0-4 岁、10-14 岁和 15-18 岁父母离异/离婚的男性自我报告的心理健康状况较差显著相关。这些显著的关联在多次分析中仍然存在。研究结果支持了这样一种观点，即儿童时期经历父母离异/离婚可能会影响成年后的心理健康，特别是如果在 0-4 岁的年龄段经历这种情况。
