“…Education level has a signi cant effect on children's physical abuse, which may be related to parents' use of corporal punishment on students who lag behind. This could be the reason for the signi cant correlation between education level and propensity to violence [32]. Both breakup and family structure integrity were strongly associated with emotional abuse and physical neglect.…”

Background Accumulating evidence indicates that infertile individuals are often associated with poor mental health. However, there are few studies focus on the trauma exposure of infertile individuals. Meanwhile, adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are often associated with poor mental health, especially the development of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the condition of traumatic exposure and the prevalence of PTSS in people with infertile in Shanghai, and then explore the effect of ACE among infertile people of childbearing age who reported experiencing trauma exposure. Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2021 to September 2022. A total of 213 infertile patients in Shanghai Changzheng Hospital were selected by random sampling. After screening, a total of 194 experimental data were obtained. The participants filled out the demographic questionnaires, self-developed trauma exposure questionnaire. Childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ) and the primary care PTSD screen for DSM-5 (PC-PTSD-5) were used to investigate ACE and PTSS, respectively. Results Traumatic events were experienced in 41.8% of infertility patients. Only 4.10% of infertile patients had PTSS. Maternal education level (p = 0.019) had significant influence on whether PTSS occurred in patients. Logistic regression analysis indicated age, emotional abuse (EA) and physical neglect (PN) increased the probability of patients reporting trauma exposure, while emotional neglect (EN) reduced the possibility of reporting trauma. Conclusions Undesirable the high incidence of traumatic experience of infertility population, especially ACE, has an important impact on their treatment and recovery at the moment, as well as the future development of mental health. More evidence between PTSS and trauma exposure are needed in the future to strengthen this conclusion.

Background Caregiving for people with mental illness (PwMI) could be burdensome, especially for informal caregivers. However, there is a scarcity of research investigating caregiving burden among informal caregivers of PwMI in China at the national level. To fill this gap, this study examined the prevalence of caregiving burden, depression, and anxiety, as well as their associated factors, among a cross-sectional sample of informal caregivers of PwMI in China. Methods Data were collected via an online survey between June and November 2023. Caregiving burden, depression, and anxiety were measured by the Zarit Burden Interview, the Patient Health Questionnaire, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale. Information on caregivers’ sociodemographic, care recipients’ sociodemographic and disease-related, and caregiving-related characteristics was also collected. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed to identify associated factors of caregiving burden, depression, and anxiety. Results A total of 1,224 informal caregivers of PwMI in China were included in the final analysis. 72.1% of the participants had high caregiving burden, 53.5% had moderate to severe depression, and 43.1% had moderate to severe anxiety. Caregiving burden, depression, and anxiety were inter-correlated with each other but exhibited different profiles of associated factors. The most important factors associated with all the three outcomes were disease-related characteristics, particularly care recipients’ symptom stability, medication compliance, and insight. Informal caregivers of males with mental illness had higher levels of caregiving burden, depression, and anxiety than those of females. There was a lack of differentiation in caregiving burden, depression, and anxiety based on care recipients’ diagnosis. Formal or common-law marriage was a protective factor for caregiver depression and anxiety but not for caregiving burden. Conclusion Informal caregivers of PwMI in China experienced a high level of caregiving burden, depression, and anxiety. Urgent actions are needed to relieve caregiving burden, depression, and anxiety among informal caregivers of PwMI in China.
