Abstract This study examined the prolonged effects of parents’ PTSD and internalizing and externalizing problems on their children’s PTSD and internalizing and externalizing problems. The subjects were 200 pairs of Nepalese parents and children (aged 6–17 years) who had resided in refugee camps for 24 months following the 2015 Nepal earthquakes. PTSD among the parents was measured using the Impact Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) while their behavioral problems were measured using the Adult Self-Report in Nepali (ASR). PTSD among the children was measured using the Parent Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (PROPS) and the Child Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (CROPS) while their behavioral problems were measured using the Nepali version of the Child Behavior Checklist 6-18 (CBCL 6-18). The results showed that approximately half of the parents and children exhibited PTSD symptoms and over half of the parents and children exhibited internalizing problems requiring clinical intervention. Correlation analysis found a relatively strong connection between the parents’ PTSD and behavioral problems and their children’s PTSD and behavioral problems. Finally, the study found that the children’s reported PTSD score increased as the parents’ education level increased, and the parents’ internalizing score decreased. Parental PTSD was a significant variable in explaining children’s internalizing problems. Given the more serious the parents’ PTSD, the higher the children’s internalizing problems score, the results highlight the need for proper intervention for the parent and child survivors of natural disasters such as earthquakes.

2015年尼泊尔地震后创伤后应激障碍和父母及儿童的行为问题

摘要本研究探讨了父母的创伤后应激障碍和内在和外在问题对孩子的创伤后应激障碍和内在和外在问题的长期影响。受试者为200对尼泊尔父母和儿童（6-17岁），他们在2015年尼泊尔地震后在难民营中居住了24个月。父母中的PTSD使用影响事件量表修订版（IES-R）进行了评估，而父母的行为问题则使用了尼泊尔成人自我报告（ASR）进行了评估。使用创伤后症状的父母报告（PROPS）和创伤后症状的孩子报告（CROPS）对儿童中的PTSD进行了测量，而使用尼泊尔语版本的6-18儿童行为清单（CBCL）对他们的行为问题进行了测量。 6-18）。结果显示，大约一半的父母和孩子表现出PTSD症状，超过一半的父母和孩子表现出内在化问题，需要临床干预。相关分析发现，父母的PTSD和行为问题与子女的PTSD和行为问题之间存在相对较强的联系。最后，该研究发现，随着父母的受教育程度的提高，儿童报告的PTSD得分增加，而父母的内化得分降低。父母PTSD是解释孩子内在化问题的重要变量。鉴于父母的PTSD越严重，孩子的内在化问题得分就越高，结果表明需要对自然灾害（例如地震）的父母和幸存者进行适当干预。
