Adolescents in the juvenile justice system are known to suffer from various psychological disorders. Less is known about how childhood psychological trauma is related to psychological disorders among delinquent adolescents in Malaysia. This study investigated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and depressive and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Of 327 adolescents 96% were exposed to at least one childhood victimization. Significant differences were found for all types of victimization (i.e. maltreatment, sexual abuse, severe assault, neglect, and family victimization) between delinquent and non-delinquent adolescents. Females were more likely to be involved in family victimization, while males were more likely to experience severe assault and crime victimization. Delinquent adolescents reported depressive and PTSD symptoms significantly more than non-delinquent adolescents. The prevalence of PTSD and depressive symptoms among delinquents was 20.8 and 52.7% respectively. Highly victimized delinquent adolescents and/or those victimized in family-related events were at significantly higher risk to develop psychiatric symptoms.
众所周知，青少年司法系统中的青少年患有各种心理障碍。关于童年心理创伤与马来西亚违法青少年心理障碍之间的关系，人们了解较少。本研究调查了童年虐待与抑郁及创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状之间的关系。在327名青少年中，96%至少经历过一次童年受害事件。在违法青少年和非违法青少年之间，所有类型的受害事件（即虐待、性虐待、严重攻击、忽视和家庭受害）都存在显著差异。女性更有可能遭受家庭受害，而男性更有可能经历严重攻击和犯罪受害。违法青少年报告的抑郁和PTSD症状明显多于非违法青少年。违法青少年中PTSD和抑郁症状的患病率分别为20.8%和52.7%。受高度侵害的违法青少年和/或那些在与家庭相关的事件中受害的青少年出现精神症状的风险显著更高。
