Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the differences between children exposed to interparental violence (EIPV) and non-EIPV children aged 8-12, in a) Emotional awareness (EA), b) Protective factors of resilience (external and internal) c) Externalizing/internalizing symptoms, somatic complaints and moods.

Method: A descriptive design study was conducted with a total of 115 participants (60 boys and 55 girls) from three Child and Adolescent Mental Health Centers in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, Spain. Student's t-test was used to compare the EIPV and non-EIPV groups, and logistic regression models were employed to identify the most relevant factors associated with EIPV.

Results: EIPV children exhibited significantly lower scores in differentiating emotions (DIE) and analyzing one's own emotions (ANE) compared to non-EIPV children. Additionally, EIPV children demonstrated more social skills problems, lower loneliness/social anxiety, lower resilience, mainly in empathy and internal protective factors, autonomy, and reduced self-esteem. They also reported higher levels of externalizing and internalizing symptoms, somatic complaints, and negative mood states such as fear, sadness, and anger. The variables that explained group membership in EIPV were DIE, ANE, and total externalizing symptoms.

Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into the role of EA, symptoms, and protective factors in EIPV children in a clinical sample. Lower EA, fewer protective factors, and higher levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms in EIPV children when compared to their non-EIPV counterparts. Including a structures evaluation of EA and Protective Factors in the EIPV child population would improve diagnostic accuracy of trauma and the design of specific psychotherapies interventions aimed at reducing symptoms and promoting mental well-being in children aged 8 to 12 exposed to IPV.

父母间暴力:儿童情感意识、保护因素和症状特征的比较分析。
目的:分析8-12岁父母间暴力儿童与非父母间暴力儿童在以下方面的差异:a)情绪意识(EA); b)弹性保护因素(外部和内部);c)外化/内化症状、躯体抱怨和情绪。方法:采用描述性设计研究,对来自西班牙巴塞罗那市区三家儿童和青少年心理健康中心的115名参与者(60名男孩和55名女孩)进行研究。采用学生t检验比较EIPV组和非EIPV组,并采用logistic回归模型确定与EIPV相关的最相关因素。结果:EIPV儿童在情绪区分(DIE)和自我情绪分析(ANE)方面的得分明显低于非EIPV儿童。此外,EIPV儿童表现出更多的社交技能问题,更低的孤独感/社交焦虑,更低的弹性,主要表现在共情和内部保护因素,自主性和自尊降低。他们还报告了更高水平的外化和内化症状、躯体抱怨和负面情绪状态,如恐惧、悲伤和愤怒。解释EIPV群体成员关系的变量是DIE、ANE和总外化症状。结论:本研究在临床样本中为EA、症状和保护因素在EIPV儿童中的作用提供了有价值的见解。与非EIPV儿童相比,EIPV儿童的EA较低,保护因素较少,内化和外化症状水平较高。包括对创伤后精神损伤儿童群体中EA和保护因素的结构评估,将提高创伤诊断的准确性,并提高旨在减少8至12岁暴露于创伤后精神损伤儿童的症状和促进心理健康的具体心理治疗干预的设计。
