| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Childhood represents a crucial period in an individual's life, laying the groundwork for future well-being, resilience and development. However, for many, childhood may be marred by adverse incidents, including emotional neglect, physical abuse, or exposure to violence. These traumatic events can have lasting effects. Aim: To explore childhood trauma and its relation to resilience among psychiatric patients. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. This study was conducted in Egypt; at the outpatient clinics of Minia psychiatric health and addiction treatment hospital, and of ElAbbasiya mental health hospital. A convenient sample of 150 adult psychiatric patients was enrolled. Three tools were used for data collection; Tool 1: Socio-demographic and medical data questionnaire, Tool 2: Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and Tool 3: Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale. Results: The finding of the present study revealed that slightly more than two thirds and slightly less than one half of the studied patients had severe level of physical neglect, physical abuse and emotional neglect, nearly fifty percent had moderate level of emotional abuse, and slightly more than one half had lower level of sexual abuse and low resilience level in all domains. Conclusion A negative significant association between resilience and emotional and physical abuse of childhood trauma, as well as a positive significant association between resilience and emotional and physical neglect of childhood trauma are detected. Recommendations: This study recommends implementation of resilience-focused interventions to mitigate the adverse effects of childhood trauma on mental health outcomes | ||||
