| Physical and psychological maltreatment in childhood and later health problems in women: an exploratory investigation of the roles of perceived stress and coping strategies. |
| Summary: Looks at how childhood experience of physical and emotional abuse affects women’s health in later life. Identifies stress and emotion-focused coping as effective mediating factors, and problem-focused and avoidance coping as ineffective. Suggests that the management of stress and the use of emotion-focused coping responses would be used with these women to mitigate physical health concerns. |
