Abstract

This study aimed to explore the association between the experience of polyvictimization in childhood and physical/mental health during early adulthood (between the ages of 18–39). Retrospective cross-sectional data from 406 respondents aged 18–39 were selected from the 2012 Korean General Social Survey. Following standards set in previous studies, polyvictimization is defined in this study as experiencing five or more types of violence. The outcomes of this study included self-rated health, depression, and suicidal ideation. The results indicated that 8.37% (n = 34) of the total respondents were polyvictimized. This study found that all health-related outcomes in adulthood were significantly associated with polyvictimization in childhood, and women who experienced polyvictimization in childhood faced greater the risk of suicidal ideation and depression than men. In conclusion, this study suggests the importance of taking into account the lasting association of childhood polyvictimization with health into adulthood. Practical implications for social work and suggestions for future studies are described.

儿童期多重受害与成年早期身心健康状况的关系
本研究旨在探讨童年多重受害经历与成年早期(18-39岁)身心健康之间的关系。调查对象是2012年韩国综合社会调查中18 ~ 39岁的406人。根据以往研究设定的标准,本研究将多重受害定义为经历五种或更多类型的暴力。这项研究的结果包括自评健康、抑郁和自杀意念。结果表明,8.37% (n = 34)的被调查者为多重受害。该研究发现,成年后所有与健康相关的结果都与童年时期的多重受害显著相关,童年时期经历过多重受害的女性比男性面临更大的自杀意念和抑郁风险。总之,这项研究表明,必须考虑到童年时期的多重受害与成年后健康状况的持久联系。本文描述了对社会工作的实际意义和对未来研究的建议。

期刊介绍: There is a growing recognition that major social trends, such as the process of globalization, rapidly changing demography, increasing psycho-social difficulties in individuals and families, growing economic disparities within and between the nations, and international migration, present important challenges for social policies and social work practices in Asia. It also has become evident that social policy strategies and social work methods must be developed and implemented in the context of Asian region''s own histories, cultures, and unique developmental trajectories in order to respond effectively to those emerging challenges. The Asian Social Work and Policy Review seeks to encourage exchanges of original ideas, rigorous analysis of experiences, innovative practice methods founded on local knowledge and skills of problem solving in the areas of social work and social policy between various countries in Asia.
