Abstract

Background: Researchers are increasingly interested in understanding potentially traumatic experiences in children's lives, such as witnessing community violence (WCV) and the recent death of a close family member or friend. These experiences can be distressing and have adverse effects on children's psychological and behavioural adjustment, including externalising behaviours and internalising symptoms.Methodology: This paper reports the results of an exploratory study aimed to address knowledge gaps, particularly among children aged 5-9 years (n = 1 283), by examining the associations between WCV, recent death, and child behavioural outcomes. Additionally, the study explores the potential moderating roles of peer support and family functioning.Findings: The results indicate significant associations between WCV, recent death, and child behaviours.Conclusion: The findings underscore the important need for future research to examine the impact of WCV and recent death on children ages 5-9 years.

探讨目睹社区暴力和最近死亡对儿童行为结果的影响。
背景:研究人员对了解儿童生活中潜在的创伤经历越来越感兴趣,例如目睹社区暴力(WCV)和最近亲密家庭成员或朋友的死亡。这些经历可能令人痛苦,并对儿童的心理和行为调整产生不利影响,包括外化行为和内化症状。方法:本文报告了一项探索性研究的结果,该研究旨在通过检查WCV、近期死亡和儿童行为结局之间的关系,解决知识差距,特别是5-9岁儿童(n = 1 283)的知识差距。此外,本研究还探讨了同伴支持和家庭功能的潜在调节作用。研究结果表明,WCV、近期死亡和儿童行为之间存在显著关联。结论:研究结果强调了未来研究WCV和近期死亡对5-9岁儿童的影响的重要性。
