  • Title: Maternal childhood abuse, intimate partner violence, and child psychopathology: the mediator role of mothers' mental health.
    Author: Miranda JK, de la Osa N, Granero R, Ezpeleta L.
    Journal: Violence Against Women; 2013 Jan; 19(1):50-68. PubMed ID: 23386668.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the mediator role of mothers' mental health in the relationship among maternal childhood abuse (CA), intimate partner violence (IPV), and offspring's psychopathology, and explored whether mediational pathways were moderated by children's sex. Participants were 327 Spanish outpatient children, 8 to 17 years old, and their mothers. Mothers' global psychological distress and depressive symptoms mediated the associations between mothers' violence history and children's externalizing problems. However, only depressive symptoms fully mediated these relationships. Children's sex did not have a moderating role in adjusted paths. Mothers' depressive symptoms are an important mechanism by which maternal violence experiences could affect externalizing problems in Spanish children.
