摘要

本研究目的在探討婚姻暴力中受虐婦女的創傷後反應，以及人口學特性與創傷後反應的相關性。研究設計為橫斷式調查法，以結構式問卷收集資料，使用立意取樣方式於高雄縣市選取127位受虐婦女為研究對象，有效樣本為109人，問卷訪談完成率為85.8%。研究結果顯示：創傷後反應以「我對這件事有強烈受的覺」出現頻率最高；「我感覺這件事好像沒有發生過」出現頻率最低，侵入性反應標準化平均值(3.12)高於逃避性反應(1.84)。在人口學資料中呈現，子女數愈多，受虐婦的逃避性反應愈少。創傷後反應總得分以高分組(得分?19)佔最多(93.6%)，由此顯出台灣受虐婦女因為婚姻暴力所受到的創傷後反應之嚴重性。我們希望藉此研究促使健康照護提供者對此議題的關注，並能早期辦識受虐婦女的創傷後反應，以作為擬定治療與輔導計畫之參考。

The objectives of this study were to explore the post-traumatic responses of abused women to marital violence and to examine the correlation between these responses and demographics. This study aimed to raise awareness of post-traumatic responses in abused women among health care providers, who are supposed to pay more attention to this problem. A cross-sectional survey-interview with structured questionnaires was used. Subjects were recruited from the Kaohsiung area. Of the 127 women who participated in this study, 109 (85.8%) completed the questionnaires. The most frequent post-traumatic response was: ”I had a strong feeling toward this thing.” The least frequent response was: ”1 felt it seemed that this thing had never happened or it was not true.” The standardized mean score of the intrusion II subscale (3.12) was higher than that of the avoidance subscale (1.84). The more children an abused Woman had, the fewer avoidance responses she exhibited. Of the abused women, 93.6% had a high post-traumatic response score (219). The results indicate that marital violence leads to post-traumatic responses in abused women in Taiwan. The results can help health care providers to identify post-traumatic responses of abused women at an early stage and can also provide information for planning further treatment strategies for abused women.
