摘要
In this article, we report the prevalence of traumatic events (TEs), lifetime and 12-month posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among 148 women experiencing homelessness in 3 midsized cities in the United States (Omaha, NE, Pittsburgh, PA, and Portland, OR). The women ranged in age from 19 to 54 years with an average age of 38.89 years (SD = 10.18). The sample was 42.6% White/European American. We investigated the mediation of distal TEs (i.e., childhood maltreatment) by more proximal TEs associated with being homeless (i.e., homelessness-related stressors) for meeting diagnostic criteria for 12-month PTSD. Results indicated that 42.6% of the women met criteria for lifetime PTSD and 39.7% met criteria for past-year PTSD. The number of TEs reported ranged from 0 to 16 in order of prevalence with a median of 6 TEs. The correlations between childhood maltreatment and 12-month PTSD ranged from .16 to .20 and the correlations between homelessness-related stressors and 12-month PTSD ranged from .21 to .30. The mediation analysis was consistent with the association between childhood maltreatment and past-year PTSD being fully mediated by homelessness-related trauma. Resumen TEPT entre mujeres sin hogar En este articulo reportamos la prevalencia de eventos traumaticos (ETs) y del Trastorno por estres postraumatico (TEPT) a lo largo de la vida y en los ultimos 12 meses en 148 mujeres con falta de vivienda en 3 ciudades de tamano intermedio en los Estados Unidos (Omaha, NE, Pittsburg, PA y Portland, OR). Las mujeres oscilaron entre los 19 y los 54 anos de edad, con un promedio de 38,89 anos (SD = 10.18). La muestra fue en un 42.6% americanas blancas/europeas. Investigamos la mediacion entre eventos traumaticos distales (por ejemplo: maltrato infantil) para eventos traumaticos mas proximos asociados con falta de vivienda (por ej. Estresores asociados a no tener un hogar) para el cumplimiento de los criterios diagnosticos de TEPT durante los ultimos 12 meses. Los resultados indicaron que el 42.6% de las mujeres cumplio los criterios para TEPT a lo largo de la vida y el 39.7% los cumplio para TEPT en el ultimo ano. El numero de eventos traumaticos reportados vario de 0 a 16 en orden de prevalencia con una mediana de 6 eventos. Las correlaciones entre maltrato infantil y TEPT en los ultimos 12 meses variaron de .16 a .20 y las correlaciones entre los estresores relacionados con falta de vivienda y TEPT en los ultimos 12 meses variaron de .21 a .30. El analisis de mediacion fue consistente con la asociacion entre maltrato en la infancia y TEPT en el ultimo ano, siendo mediado completamente por el trauma asociado a la falta de vivienda.
