摘要

背景有青少年寄宿照料（RYC）背景的青少年往往遭受过各种形式的虐待，影响了他们的教育、就业、健康、死亡率和生活质量。本研究旨在调查：（1）自我报告的儿童遭受虐待的性别特异性发生率和年龄时序；（2）这些虐待形式的发生率在儿童福利局首次将儿童安置在家庭外之前一年和之后一年是否存在差异。这项研究是挪威全国范围内对157名有RYC背景的成年人（107名女性）的健康和福利情况进行的为期10年的跟踪调查。方法以在线问卷的形式实施虐待和受虐年表，并比较平均得分和虐待形式的百分比。结果 157 名参与者中有 154 人（98%）报告至少遭受过一种形式的虐待。女性报告遭受性虐待的比例高于男性（53% 对 22%，P < .001）。没有发现其他性别差异。大多数参与者（63%）报告称，安置后虐待率有所下降，37%的参与者报告称虐待率保持稳定或有所上升。尽管家庭外照料提供了保护，但仍需要进一步发展和改进旨在降低再次受害风险的措施。

Child maltreatment in young adults with residential youth care background: Prevalence and post-placement trends

Background

Young adults with residential youth care (RYC) background have often endured various forms of child maltreatment, impacting education, employment, health, mortality, and quality of life. There is limited research on the onset and duration of exposure to maltreatment before placement, as well as the prevalence of maltreatment occurring after children have been placed into out-of-home care.

Objective

This study aims to investigate: (1) The sex-specific prevalence and age chronology of self-reported exposure to child maltreatment, and (2) whether the rate of these maltreatment forms differ between the year before and after first out-of-home placement by the Child Welfare Service.

Participants and setting

This study is a part of VINGO, a Norwegian nation-wide 10-year follow-up examining the health and welfare of 157 (107 females) adults with RYC background.

Methods

The Maltreatment and Abuse Chronology of Exposure Scale was administered as an online questionnaire, and mean scores and percentages of maltreatment forms were compared. Differences between groups were examined using t-tests and Pearson's Chi-Squared test.

Results

Most participants, 154 of 157 (98 %), reported at least one form of child maltreatment. Females reported higher rates of sexual abuse than males (53 % vs. 22 %, p < .001). No other sex differences were found. A majority of participants (63 %) reported decreased maltreatment rates post-placement, while 37 % had stable or increasing rates.

Conclusions

Young adults with RYC background report high child maltreatment rates. Although out-of-home care provides protection, further development and improvement of initiatives aimed at reducing the risk of revictimization is likely needed.

期刊介绍： Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
