Abstract

The association between child maltreatment (CM) and quality of life (QoL) has been widely examined in the past decade. In this study, we estimated the association between CM and QoL using a systematic review and meta-analysis. Articles were searched up to May 15, 2024, in both English databases (Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO & PsycArticles, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Scopus) and Chinese databases (CNKI, Weipu, and Wanfang). The meta-analysis was performed by a random-effects model, using 43 studies comprising 130,884 participants. This study demonstrated that general CM had an adverse impact on QoL and its sub-dimensions, including physical, mental, psychosocial, and environmental QoL. Further analysis showed that the subtypes of CM also had negative impacts on the dimensions of QoL, except for mental QoL. Emotional maltreatment had stronger negative associations with QoL than other subtypes of CM, while neglect received relatively less attention. In addition, the association between CM and QoL was moderated by region, gender ratio, and measurement methods. The findings of this study suggest that CM is negatively associated with QoL. Future studies need to investigate the impact of neglect on QoL and develop tailored programs to improve the QoL of people who have suffered from CM.

儿童虐待与生活质量的关系：系统回顾与元分析。

在过去的十年中，儿童虐待（CM）与生活质量（QoL）之间的关系得到了广泛的研究。在本研究中，我们使用系统回顾和荟萃分析来估计CM与生活质量之间的关联。文章检索截止到2024年5月15日，检索对象包括英文数据库（Web of Science、EMBASE、CINAHL、PsycINFO & PsycArticles、MEDLINE、Cochrane Library、PubMed、Scopus）和中文数据库（CNKI、唯普、万方）。荟萃分析采用随机效应模型，使用43项研究，包括130,884名参与者。本研究表明，普通管理对生活质量及其子维度（包括身体、心理、社会心理和环境生活质量）有不利影响。进一步分析发现，除心理生活质量外，CM各亚型对生活质量各维度均有负向影响。情绪虐待与生活质量的负相关强于其他CM亚型，而忽视与生活质量的负相关相对较少。此外，CM与生活质量之间的关联受地区、性别比例和测量方法的调节。本研究结果提示CM与生活质量呈负相关。未来的研究需要调查忽视对生活质量的影响，并制定量身定制的方案来改善患有CM的人的生活质量。
