儿童期性虐待受害者的记忆功能对照研究

Relationship between Memory Function and Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms among the Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse in Female Inmates

目的探讨儿童期性虐待(CSA)受害者的记忆损害情况,及其与创伤后应激症状的关系。方法对女性服刑人员CSA受害组(简称CSA组)21例,对照组21例进行韦氏记忆(WMS)测验,并分析它们与创伤后应激症状(IES-R)的关系。结果CSA组记忆商数(MQ)(85.09±19.15)、长时(25.90±7.36)和短时记忆(55.55±11.34)三项记忆测验分数明显低于对照组(分别为105.57±14.65、34.47±4.72、65.01±7.25)。上述记忆损害与IES-R总分、各亚症状分呈相关,且有显著性意义。结论女性服刑人员中儿童期性虐待受害者的记忆功能明显受损。

Objective To explore the relationship between memory impairment and post-traumatic stress symptoms among female victims of childhood sexual abuse （CSA）. Methods Wechsler memory scale was administered to 21 victims of CSA inmates and 21cases in control group. The relationship between memory impairment and post-traumatic stress symptoms was analyzed. Results The scores of memory quotient（MQ） （ 85.09 ± 19. 15 ）, long-term （ 25.90 ± 7.36 ） and short-term （ 55.55 ± 11.34 ） memory among CSA group were significantly lower than those in the control group （105.57 ± 14.65,34.47 ±4.72,65.01 ± 7.25, respectively）. The memory impair- ment levels were significantly correlated with the total score and three scores of sub-factors of IES-R. Conclusion The female victims of CSA had memory impairments, which were significantly correlated with the severity of posttraumatic stress symptoms.
