The Impact of Sexual Abuse History on Parenting Outcomes

This report presents a regression analysis investigating the relationship between a mother's history of sexual abuse in childhood and her subsequent parenting outcomes, specifically focusing on parenting self-efficacy and family functioning. The study utilized data from a longitudinal study of 265 women, collected during their pregnancy and when their children were aged 2-4 years old. The analysis explored the association between sexual abuse and parenting outcomes, considering the child's gender as a potential moderator. The findings revealed no statistically significant direct association between sexual abuse history and either parenting self-efficacy or family functioning. However, the report also indicates that when controlling for child gender and socio-demographic factors, an association appeared although non-significant. The report includes detailed regression model summaries, ANOVA tables, and coefficients, providing a comprehensive overview of the statistical analyses conducted and the implications of the findings within the context of public health research.
