The impact of traumatic experiences on mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic has been insufficiently discussed in the German-speaking countries. Against this background, a working group of scientifically and clinically active colleagues was formed on behalf of the German-Speaking Society for Psychotraumatology (DeGPT). The aim of the working group was to summarize central research findings on the incidence of domestic violence and associated psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic in German-speaking countries and to discuss their implications. In addition, associations between pre-existing childhood trauma and psychological distress during the pandemic should be illuminated. The present narrative review was prepared for this purpose.The results of the studies conducted indicate high prevalences of domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic, which, however, predominantly correspond to pre-pandemic prevalences. Adults with current or pre-existing interpersonal traumatic experiences during childhood or adolescence reported increased psychological distress during the pandemic compared with adults without such experiences. A number of risk factors (e.g., female gender, lower frequency of social contacts) increased the risk of psychological distress and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms during the pandemic. According to these findings, people with current or past interpersonal trauma exposure represent a vulnerable group with special support needs during pandemic contexts.
在德语国家，新冠疫情期间创伤经历对心理健康的影响尚未得到充分讨论。在此背景下，代表德语国家心理创伤学会（DeGPT）成立了一个由从事科研和临床工作的同事组成的工作组。该工作组的目的是总结德语国家新冠疫情期间家庭暴力发生率及相关心理困扰的核心研究结果，并讨论其影响。此外，还应阐明疫情期间儿童期既往创伤与心理困扰之间的关联。本叙述性综述正是为此而编写。所开展研究的结果表明，新冠疫情期间家庭暴力的发生率很高，但这主要与疫情前的发生率相当。与没有此类经历的成年人相比，童年或青少年时期有当前或既往人际创伤经历的成年人在疫情期间报告的心理困扰有所增加。一些风险因素（如女性性别、社交接触频率较低）增加了疫情期间心理困扰和创伤后应激障碍症状的风险。根据这些发现，当前或过去经历过人际创伤的人在疫情期间是一个有特殊支持需求的弱势群体。
