    Child maltreatment, sexual and peer victimization experiences among adolescents in residential care
    (Elsevier, 2019-03-13) Indias, Sílvia; Arruabarrena, Ignacia; De Paúl Ochotorena, Joaquín; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
    Most adolescents in residential care have been through severe forms of victimization within their household. However, it is frequent to experience multiple forms of violence, and peer victimization is one of the most prevalent during adolescence. Trauma caused by interpersonal violence can have damaging effects on children and adolescents' health and psychosocial wellbeing. The present study aimed to measure lifetime prevalence and frequency rates of child physical and emotional abuse, neglect, domestic violence, and several types of sexual and peer victimization among adolescents in residential care. Additionally, victimization across contexts and effects of gender, age and immigrant status of the family (local vs. immigrant) were analyzed. Participants were 107 adolescents in Spanish residential care, aged 12–17 (Mage = 15.16 years). Data was collected using thirteen items of the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire self-report. Results indicate that over 75% of adolescents have suffered victimization by peers and siblings, over 65% have suffered child maltreatment, over 50% have witnessed family violence, and over 40% have suffered sexual victimization. Gender and immigrant status correlates show females and immigrant-family females reported higher prevalence of sexual victimization than their counterparts, and that immigrant-family adolescents reported higher rates of physical abuse, domestic violence, and peer assaults. Remarkably, few age effects were found. Moderate associations were found between child maltreatment, and peer and sibling and sexual victimization.

    Antecedentes: está reconocido el efecto negativo en el desarrollo infantil de las experiencias directas o indirectas de violencia interpersonal. El objetivo de este estudio era analizar la victimización a lo largo de su vida en adolescentes de una muestra de la población general. Método: la muestra está conformada por 608 participantes del norte de España de 12 a 18 años de edad. Para medir la victimización a lo largo de la vida se utilizó el Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ). Resultados: más del 90% de esta muestra de adolescentes notifi caron haber sido expuestos a algún tipo de victimización. Los participantes notifi caron una media de 5.50 experiencias de victimización a lo largo de su vida y un 75% de la muestra notifi có haber experimentado al menos dos formas de victimización. A partir del 10% de la muestra que había notifi cado más experiencias, los participantes con 11 o más victimizaciones fueron clasifi cados como polivíctimas. Conclusiones: se concluye de los resultados de este estudio que la victimización es frecuente entre adolescentes de la población general, siendo especialmente relevante la producida por ¿iguales¿ y la que supone ser testigo de situaciones de violencia.
