This paper explores the current family situation and psychological stress of fathers who experienced trauma and different kinds of youth welfare services including out-of-home placement during their childhood. The main group consisted of n = 119 fathers and was compared to a group of n = 36 fathers whose families never received services from the child and youth welfare authority. In the main group, a high correlation was found between trauma and current psychological stress, albeit the out-of-home care intervention or intensive home-support by child and youth welfare services during childhood. The higher stress level in the main group of fathers in contrast to the comparison group effects their current family situation, especially concerning the contact between fathers and their children. Fathers with higher stress levels were less likely to be in contact with their children. Acting on the assumption that fathers are important for their children, the results implicate a heightened focus on earlier trauma-informed interventions in families with difficulties and out-of-home care settings, to reduce stress levels and prevent intergenerational transmission of problematic family experiences. Current child and youth welfare services, in particular out-of-home placements, should take these trauma-informed approaches and therapy into account.
本文探讨了童年时期经历过创伤以及接受过包括家庭外安置在内的各类青少年福利服务的父亲们当前的家庭状况和心理压力。主要研究群体由119名父亲组成，并与一组36名父亲的群体进行了比较，后者的家庭从未接受过儿童和青少年福利机构的服务。在主要研究群体中，尽管童年时期接受过家庭外照料干预或儿童和青少年福利服务提供的强化家庭支持，但创伤与当前心理压力之间仍存在高度相关性。与对照组相比，主要研究群体中父亲们较高的压力水平影响了他们当前的家庭状况，尤其是在父亲与子女的联系方面。压力水平较高的父亲与子女接触的可能性较小。基于父亲对子女很重要这一假设，研究结果表明，应更加关注对有困难家庭和家庭外照料环境的早期创伤知情干预，以降低压力水平并防止有问题的家庭经历代际传递。当前的儿童和青少年福利服务，尤其是家庭外安置，应考虑采用这些创伤知情方法和疗法。
