Child laborers are often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development. Child laborers are one of the most vulnerable groups in domestic violence. Domestic violence severely affects the physical and mental health, and consequently affects substance dependence and resilience to suicide of these children. Accordingly, it is essential to examine domestic violence, substance dependence, and suicidal ideation in working children.
the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between exposure to domestic violence and substance dependence and suicide resilience on the other among child laborers in Iran.
This study employed cross-sectional research. 600 child laborers were selected via convenience and snow ball sampling from one rehabilitation and welfare center and three charity organization societies in the west of Iran, from January to August 2022. They completed questionnaires. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22 and with using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and ANOVA, independent t-test and the multiple linear regression model with a backward strategy.
Findings showed that exposure to domestic violence has a strong and direct correlation with substance dependence (r = 0.94, p < 0.001) and strong and indirect correlation with suicide resilience (r =- 0.91, p < 0.001). Also substance dependence has a strong and direct correlation with suicide resilience (r = -0.87, p < 0.001) in child laborers. Variables of substance dependence, suicide resilience, gender, guardian's disease status, living status and age can predict 76.51% of the variance in domestic violence in these children.
Child laborers experience a lot of domestic violence, which severely affects their suicide resilience and substance dependence in them. Therefore, there is an urgent need for systematic support programs with content (teaching self-care behaviors, stress management, avoiding tense and violent environments) in order to support of these children and reduce domestic violence against them and subsequently reduce substance improve abuse resilience to suicide in these children.
童工通常被定义为剥夺儿童童年、潜力和尊严，且对身心发展有害的工作。童工是家庭暴力中最脆弱的群体之一。家庭暴力严重影响儿童的身心健康，进而影响他们对物质的依赖和自杀的韧性。因此，有必要研究童工所遭受的家庭暴力、物质依赖和自杀意念。
本研究旨在探讨伊朗童工中遭受家庭暴力与物质依赖和自杀韧性之间的关系。
本研究采用横断面研究。2022 年 1 月至 8 月，采用便利抽样和雪球抽样，从伊朗西部的一个康复和福利中心以及三个慈善组织中选取了 600 名童工，完成了问卷调查。采用 SPSS 软件版本 22 进行数据分析，采用描述性统计（频率、百分比、均值和标准差）、方差分析、独立 t 检验和向后策略的多元线性回归模型。
研究结果表明，遭受家庭暴力与物质依赖呈强正相关（r=0.94，p<0.001），与自杀韧性呈强负相关（r=-0.91，p<0.001）。此外，物质依赖与自杀韧性呈强正相关（r=-0.87，p<0.001）。在这些儿童中，物质依赖、自杀韧性、性别、监护人的疾病状况、生活状况和年龄等变量可以预测 76.51%的家庭暴力方差。
童工经历了大量的家庭暴力，这严重影响了他们的自杀韧性和物质依赖。因此，迫切需要制定系统的支持计划，内容包括（教授自我护理行为、压力管理、避免紧张和暴力环境），以支持这些儿童，减少对他们的家庭暴力，进而减少物质滥用，提高他们的自杀韧性。
