Child maltreatment constitutes a notoriously large problem within the healthcare field and is associated with significant biological, psychological, and social consequences across the lifespan. The primary aim of this study was to examine the biopsychosocial outcomes of an adult population who reported a history of child maltreatment. Data from the Midlife Development in the United States 2 Biomarker Project were used. The analytic sample in the present study included 1228 adults. AMOS 23 was used to conduct structural equation modeling and fit two separate models in order to examine the relationships between childhood maltreatment and biopsychosocial variables for both men and women. Childhood maltreatment had a direct association with cortisol levels, subjective well-being, positive life events, depression, and physical symptoms and conditions for both men and women. The present study offers unique contributions toward the examination of biopsychosocial outcomes following maltreatment. Practical implications and future directions are addressed.
儿童虐待是医疗保健领域一个众所周知的大问题，它会对人的一生造成重大的生理、心理和社会后果。本研究的主要目的是调查有儿童虐待史的成年人的生物心理社会结局。本研究的数据来自美国中期生活发展 2 生物标志物项目。本研究的分析样本包括 1228 名成年人。使用 AMOS 23 进行结构方程建模，并分别拟合两个模型，以检验男性和女性的童年虐待与生物心理变量之间的关系。童年虐待与皮质醇水平、主观幸福感、积极生活事件、抑郁以及男性和女性的生理症状和状况均有直接关联。本研究对虐待后生物心理社会结局的研究做出了独特的贡献。讨论了其实用意义和未来方向。
