Although there is a rich body of literature on trauma and health, limited research has investigated the variables of gender, trauma symptoms, physical health, mental health, and daily stress together in a community sample. Considering the deleterious effects of trauma on health, our overarching inquiry was whether trauma symptoms can predict overall mental and physical health with attention to gender and daily stress as potential moderators. Participants ( = 103; 50.5% women) completed self-report measures of trauma symptoms, mental health, physical health, and daily stress, along with demographic information. Trauma symptoms predicted 25.2% of the variance in general health symptoms. Gender significantly added to the variance accounted for, but daily stress was not significant in the model. Trauma symptoms predicted 37.1% of the variance in mental health symptoms. Daily stress significantly added to the model, but gender did not. Results are interpreted through the integration of family stress theory and feminist frameworks, adding to the literature by further illuminating the relationships between gender, daily stress, health symptoms, and trauma in a community sample.
尽管有大量关于创伤与健康的文献，但在社区样本中，将性别、创伤症状、身体健康、心理健康和日常压力等变量综合起来进行研究的却很有限。考虑到创伤对健康的有害影响，我们的总体研究问题是，创伤症状能否在将性别和日常压力作为潜在调节因素的情况下，预测整体的身心健康。参与者（(n = 103)；50.5%为女性）完成了关于创伤症状、心理健康、身体健康和日常压力的自我报告测量，以及人口统计学信息。创伤症状预测了一般健康症状中25.2%的变异。性别显著增加了模型中解释的变异，但日常压力在模型中不显著。创伤症状预测了心理健康症状中37.1%的变异。日常压力显著增加了模型的解释力，但性别没有。通过整合家庭压力理论和女性主义框架来解释结果，通过进一步阐明社区样本中性别、日常压力、健康症状和创伤之间的关系，为文献增添了内容。
