Abstract

Family and domestic violence (FDV) has profound effects on adolescents, acting as a key predictor of poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, research on its comprehensive health impacts remains sparse. The study aims to examine the mediating role of health-risk behaviors (HRB) and the moderating role of social support in the relationship between FDV and HRQoL. Data were drawn from the 2022 Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents, involving 4003 adolescents aged 12-19 years in China. Structural Equation Models were employed to investigate the relationship between FDV, HRB, social support, and adolescent HRQoL. Nearly half of the adolescents reported experiencing FDV. FDV was significantly associated with lower HRQoL among adolescents. HRB, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, sleep disorders, and appetite loss, mediated this relationship. Social support moderated the effects of HRB on HRQoL, buffering the negative impact. Gender differences were observed in how specific types of FDV affected HRQoL. These results provide a basis for policymakers to develop comprehensive strategies for reducing HRB and strengthening support systems for adolescents. Additionally, gender-specific interventions are essential for addressing the unique needs of affected populations.

家庭暴力对中国青少年健康相关生活质量的影响：健康风险行为和社会支持的作用

家庭和家庭暴力（FDV）对青少年有着深远的影响，是健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）较差的关键预测因素。然而，对其综合健康影响的研究仍然很少。本研究旨在探讨健康风险行为（HRB）在FDV与HRQoL之间的中介作用和社会支持的调节作用。数据来源于《2022年中国居民心理与行为调查》，涉及4003名12-19岁的中国青少年。采用结构方程模型探讨家庭家庭暴力、HRB、社会支持与青少年HRQoL的关系。近一半的青少年报告经历过家庭暴力。在青少年中，FDV与较低的HRQoL显著相关。HRB，如吸烟、饮酒、睡眠障碍和食欲减退，介导了这种关系。社会支持调节了HRB对HRQoL的影响，缓冲了负面影响。在特定类型的FDV如何影响HRQoL方面观察到性别差异。这些结果为决策者制定减少HRB和加强青少年支持系统的综合战略提供了依据。此外，针对性别的干预措施对于解决受影响人口的独特需求至关重要。
