The study investigates the correlation of childhood traumatic experiences on parent-adolescent relations and delinquent behaviors, in adolescents that admitted to our Hospital, which serves to a low socioeconomic region, in Ankara.
Material and methods:
Adolescents (n:1007, range: 14-18 years old) were asked to fill a booklet including three sections: "Childhood trauma questionnaire" (CTQ), "Parent-adolescent relationship ınventory" (PARI) and "Illegal behavior scale" (IBS).
Results:
Median age was 16 years (62.3% girls), all the adolescents had low income. A history of physical abuse was reported in 25%, sexual abuse was reported in 3.5%. A positive correlation between CTQ and PARI (p=0.001, r=0.444); CTQ and DBS (p=0.001, r=0.400); PARI and IBS (p=0.001, r=0.831) were determined.
Conclusions:
In correlation to childhood traumatic experiences, adolescents who were abused had defective parental relationships and have increased tendency to delinquent behaviors. While adolescents who are describing their own family environment, indicating that there is no peace and love, there is a greater risk of traumatic experiences, negative relationships with parents and delinquent behavior.
