To ascertain the number of Navy outpatient mental health patients reporting a history of childhood abuse. To explore the relationships among abuse history, parental/step-parental substance abuse, mental illness, and divorce.
Review of 134 clinical data forms completed by patients when first seen.
Twenty-six percent reported at least one type of childhood abuse (physical, sexual, verbal, emotional). Proportionally more females reported any one type of abuse. Assailants were predominantly males, typically fathers or stepfathers. Verbal abuse significantly affected childhood happiness. Parental substance abuse, mental illness, or divorce before age 19 reduced childhood happiness, and abuse further reduced it.
Childhood abuse is commonly reported by Navy mental health patients and may affect their adjustment to military life.
确定报告有童年期虐待史的海军门诊心理健康患者的数量。探讨虐待史、父母/继父母药物滥用、精神疾病和离婚之间的关系。
回顾患者首次就诊时填写的134份临床资料表。
26%的患者报告至少有一种童年期虐待（身体虐待、性虐待、言语虐待、情感虐待）。报告任何一种虐待的女性比例更高。攻击者主要是男性，通常是父亲或继父。言语虐待显著影响童年幸福感。19岁之前父母药物滥用、精神疾病或离婚会降低童年幸福感，而虐待会进一步降低幸福感。
海军心理健康患者普遍报告有童年期虐待经历，这可能会影响他们对军事生活的适应。
