Abstract

College students have high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms as well as high rates of sexual assault. What is less clear, however, is whether different sexual assault types (e.g. coercive, physically forced, and incapacitation) are associated with greater PTSD symptoms. Moreover, understanding early familial and mental health histories of college students is important for explaining PTSD symptoms. As such, we use a social stress framework to examine the relationships between early familial risk (i.e. child abuse, perceived maternal rejection), borderline personality (BP) symptoms, and three sexual assault types with PTSD symptoms among college students. A total of 783 undergraduate students (65.4% female) completed paper and pencil surveys in fall 2019 and spring 2020 at a large public university. Results revealed that females were more likely to experience child sexual abuse and all three forms of sexual assault, while males experienced higher rates of child physical abuse. OLS regression results showed positive associations between child sexual abuse, perceived maternal rejection, BP symptoms and all three types of sexual assault with PTSD symptoms. Females also experienced more PTSD symptoms compared to males. Findings have implications for targeted interventions to improve mental health outcomes.

大学生创伤后应激障碍症状:大学生的创伤后应激障碍症状:与家族风险、边缘型人格和性侵犯的联系。
大学生创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状的发生率很高,性侵犯的发生率也很高。然而,目前尚不清楚的是,不同的性侵犯类型(如胁迫性侵犯、身体强迫性侵犯和丧失行为能力性侵犯)是否与更严重的创伤后应激障碍症状有关。此外,了解大学生的早期家庭史和心理健康史对于解释创伤后应激障碍症状也很重要。因此,我们采用社会压力框架来研究大学生早期家庭风险(即虐待儿童、感知到的母亲排斥)、边缘型人格(BP)症状和三种性侵犯类型与创伤后应激障碍症状之间的关系。在一所大型公立大学,共有 783 名本科生(65.4% 为女生)在 2019 年秋季和 2020 年春季完成了纸笔问卷调查。结果显示,女性更有可能遭受儿童性虐待和所有三种形式的性侵犯,而男性遭受儿童身体虐待的比例更高。OLS回归结果显示,儿童性虐待、感知到的母亲排斥、BP症状和所有三种类型的性侵犯与创伤后应激障碍症状之间存在正相关。与男性相比,女性也经历了更多的创伤后应激障碍症状。研究结果对采取有针对性的干预措施以改善心理健康结果具有重要意义。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders.
