Childhood maltreatment, perceived stress, and stress-related coping in recently abstinent cocaine dependent adults
Open accessAbstract
The authors examined associations between a personal history of childhood maltreatment and the perceived stress and stress-coping styles of recently abstinent and treatment-engaged cocaine dependent adults. Fifty men and 41 women at an inpatient treatment and research facility were administered the short form of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (D. P. Bernstein & L. Fink, 1998; D. P. Bernstein et al., 2003), the Perceived Stress Scale (S. Cohen, T. Kamarck, & R. Mermelstein, 1983), and the COPE Questionnaire (C. S. Carver, M. R. Scheier, & J. K. Weintraub, 1989). Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were used to analyze relationships while adjusting for relevant covariates. Findings indicate that overall childhood maltreatment severity was significantly associated with greater perceived stress and greater use of avoidance stress-coping strategies. These findings suggest that having a history of childhood maltreatment may influence how recently abstinent cocaine dependent individuals experience and cope with stress. Stress and stress-coping focused interventions may be particularly indicated for cocaine dependent individuals with histories of childhood maltreatment.

The severity of childhood maltreatment is positively associated with greater perceived threat and harm-avoidance coping strategies in cocaine-dependent individuals.
“For example, one study found that the severity of childhood maltreatment was positively associated with greater perceived threat and harm-avoidance coping strategies in cocaine-dependent individuals (Hyman et al., 2007).”

Exposure to childhood maltreatment is associated with psychological distress in response to aversive psychosocial stimuli among cocaine-dependent individuals.
“Studies of cocaine-dependent individuals have found a significant association between exposure to childhood maltreatment and psychological distress in response to aversive psychosocial stimuli.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
