家庭暴力施暴者精神创伤的初步研究

目的 调查家庭暴力施暴者精神创伤的特征,及其与创伤后应激症状的关系.方法 在四川绵阳市某社区确立有严重躯体家庭暴力的男性施暴者50人,选取年龄、受教育程度和家庭结构相匹配的无家庭暴力的男性健康对照组80人.运用创伤性生活事件问卷和访谈相结合的技术评估他们的精神创伤经历;事件影响量表.修订版(IES-R)评估创伤后应激症状.结果 (1)80%的施暴组至少经历3件或以上的多重创伤,高于对照组(46.2%);平均事件数量中位数多于对照组(分别为5.5和3件),均差异有显著性(x2=21.70,P=0.000;Z=3.94,P=0.003).(2)与对照组相比,施暴组经历了更多的创伤类型:亲人的突然死亡(x2=3.74)、目睹家庭暴力(x2=6.24)、被亲密伴侣殴打(x2=10.06)以及儿童期性虐待(x2=4.53～8.45),均差异有显著性(均P<0.05).(3)施暴组IES-R总分和各亚症状分,均高于对照组(均P<0.05),但IES-R总分与创伤数量无关(P>0.05).结论 家庭暴力施暴者有相当普遍的精神创伤经历和突出的创伤后应激症状;对他们进行精神创伤的筛查和相应干预很有必要.
