UNASSIGNED: To test this hypothesis, we investigated the associations between parental separation, childhood trauma (CTQ) and personality (NEO-FFI) in a sample of N = 119 patients diagnosed with depression and N = 119 age and sex matched healthy controls.
UNASSIGNED: While parental separation was associated with elevated scores of childhood trauma, there was no association between parental separation and Neuroticism. Furthermore, in a logistic regression analysis, Neuroticism and childhood trauma were found to be significant predictors for depression diagnosis (yes/no), but not parental separation (yes/no).
UNASSIGNED: Parental separation might be associated with depression only indirectly via childhood trauma. Childhood trauma or Neuroticism seem more directly related to the development of depression. However, it is worthwhile to install prevention programs helping parents and children to cope with parental separation in order to minimize the impact of separation and associated stressors.
■为了检验这一假设,我们调查了父母分离之间的关联,儿童创伤(CTQ)和人格(NEO-FFI)在N=119例诊断为抑郁症的患者和N=119年龄和性别匹配的健康对照的样本中。
虽然父母分居与童年创伤评分升高有关,父母分离和神经质之间没有关联。此外,在逻辑回归分析中,神经质和儿童创伤被发现是抑郁症诊断的重要预测因素(是/否),但不是父母分离(是/否)。
■父母分离可能仅通过童年创伤间接与抑郁症有关。童年创伤或神经质似乎与抑郁症的发展更直接相关。然而,值得安装预防计划,帮助父母和孩子应对父母分离,以最大程度地减少分离和相关压力源的影响。
