Abstract

Objectives: The purpose is to examine the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), protective factors, and select maladaptive coping behaviors in postsecondary students. Participants: Undergraduate students attending Dalhousie University. Methods: An online anonymous survey was conducted. Zero order one-tailed correlations were computed to measure relationships between ACEs, levels of maladaptive coping behaviors and protective factors. A structural equation mediation model examined direct and indirect pathways between measures. Results: 42.5% of respondents (n = 327) reported ≥3ACEs. Higher ACEs were associated with higher expression of maladaptive coping behaviors. Respondents with high ACEs and low levels of protective factors reported lower levels of hope and forgiveness and higher levels of stress and rumination. Conclusion: Higher levels of protective factors were associated with lower levels of maladaptive coping behaviors in students with high ACEs.

大学生的童年不良经历、适应不良的应对行为和保护因素：一项横断面研究。

研究目的目的：研究中学后学生的童年不良经历（ACE）、保护性因素和某些适应不良的应对行为之间的关系。参与者：达尔豪斯大学的本科生。调查方法进行在线匿名调查。计算了零阶单尾相关性，以衡量 ACE、适应不良应对行为水平和保护因素之间的关系。一个结构方程中介模型检验了各项措施之间的直接和间接途径。结果显示42.5%的受访者（n = 327）报告了≥3项ACE。较高的 ACE 与较高的适应不良应对行为表现相关。ACE较高且保护因素水平较低的受访者报告的希望和宽恕水平较低，压力和反刍水平较高。结论保护性因素水平较高与 ACE 高的学生的适应不良行为水平较低有关。
