Adverse childhood events have been shown to impact individuals through adulthood, particularly the impact on relationships. This study aimed to examine intergenerational trauma exposure among a sample of parents living in a semi-urban Salvadoran community and the relationship between child trauma exposure with maternal perceived discrimination, internal strengths and external support. Survey data was collected from 49 mothers residing in El Salvador. Bivariate analyses and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between children’s exposure to adverse childhood events and parents’ exposure to adverse childhood events, while controlling for discrimination. The results of the regression analysis indicate that the maternal number of adverse childhood events and experience of discrimination as an adult explained 52.9% of the variance ( R 2 = 0.59, F(6, 43) = 10.18, p < .0001). The number of adverse childhood events was significantly predicted by maternal number of adverse events ( B = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.17–0.48, p < .0001) and experience of discrimination as adults ( B = 5.79, 95% CI = 3.51–8.07, p < .0001). Results suggest that parent exposure to adverse childhood events and parent experience with discrimination are related to the exposure to adverse childhood events of their children. Further research in this area is warranted to better understand the experiences of parents who have been exposed to childhood trauma and the day-to-day parenting challenges. Greater understanding of the impact of childhood trauma also encourages service providers to explore intergenerational interventions.

萨尔瓦多家庭中的代际创伤：一项探索性研究

已证明童年不良事件会影响个人直至成年，尤其是对人际关系的影响。本研究旨在调查居住在半城市萨尔瓦多社区的父母样本中的代际创伤暴露，以及儿童创伤暴露与母亲感知的歧视、内部优势和外部支持之间的关系。调查数据来自居住在萨尔瓦多的 49 位母亲。双变量分析和多元线性回归分析用于检查儿童暴露于不良童年事件与父母暴露于不良童年事件之间的关系，同时控制歧视。回归分析的结果表明，母亲童年不良事件的数量和作为成年人的歧视经历解释了 52。9% 的方差 (R 2 = 0.59, F(6, 43) = 10.18, p < .0001)。不良事件的母亲数量（B = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.17–0.48, p < .0001）和成年后的歧视经历（B = 5.79, 95% CI = 3.51–）显着预测了儿童期不良事件的数量8.07，p < .0001）。结果表明，父母接触不良童年事件和父母遭受歧视的经历与他们孩子接触不良童年事件有关。需要在该领域进行进一步研究，以更好地了解遭受童年创伤的父母的经历和日常养育挑战。对童年创伤影响的更多了解也鼓励服务提供者探索代际干预措施。不良事件的母亲数量（B = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.17–0.48, p < .0001）和成年后的歧视经历（B = 5.79, 95% CI = 3.51–）显着预测了儿童期不良事件的数量8.07，p < .0001）。结果表明，父母接触不良童年事件和父母遭受歧视的经历与他们孩子接触不良童年事件有关。需要在该领域进行进一步研究，以更好地了解遭受童年创伤的父母的经历和日常养育挑战。对童年创伤影响的更多了解也鼓励服务提供者探索代际干预措施。不良事件的母亲数量（B = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.17–0.48, p < .0001）和成年后的歧视经历（B = 5.79, 95% CI = 3.51–）显着预测了儿童期不良事件的数量8.07，p < .0001）。结果表明，父母接触不良童年事件和父母遭受歧视的经历与他们孩子接触不良童年事件有关。需要在该领域进行进一步研究，以更好地了解遭受童年创伤的父母的经历和日常养育挑战。对童年创伤影响的更多了解也鼓励服务提供者探索代际干预措施。17–0.48, p < .0001) 和成年后的歧视经历 (B = 5.79, 95% CI = 3.51–8.07, p < .0001)。结果表明，父母接触不良童年事件和父母遭受歧视的经历与他们孩子接触不良童年事件有关。需要在该领域进行进一步研究，以更好地了解遭受童年创伤的父母的经历和日常养育挑战。对童年创伤影响的更多了解也鼓励服务提供者探索代际干预措施。17–0.48, p < .0001) 和成年后的歧视经历 (B = 5.79, 95% CI = 3.51–8.07, p < .0001)。结果表明，父母接触不良童年事件和父母遭受歧视的经历与他们孩子接触不良童年事件有关。需要在该领域进行进一步研究，以更好地了解遭受童年创伤的父母的经历和日常养育挑战。对童年创伤影响的更多了解也鼓励服务提供者探索代际干预措施。结果表明，父母接触不良童年事件和父母遭受歧视的经历与他们孩子接触不良童年事件有关。需要在该领域进行进一步研究，以更好地了解遭受童年创伤的父母的经历和日常养育挑战。对童年创伤影响的更多了解也鼓励服务提供者探索代际干预措施。结果表明，父母接触不良童年事件和父母遭受歧视的经历与他们孩子接触不良童年事件有关。需要在该领域进行进一步研究，以更好地了解遭受童年创伤的父母的经历和日常养育挑战。对童年创伤影响的更多了解也鼓励服务提供者探索代际干预措施。
