This is a single-centre cross-sectional survey of 496 psychiatric outpatients that documents the prevalence and demographic/clinical associations of self-reported childhood trauma using a validated questionnaire. The study is descriptive and observational, with no control group or causal analysis; it establishes correlations rather than mechanisms or clinical impact.
Cross-sectional observational study. Individuals who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic of a city hospital; specific diagnoses, age range, and other eligibility criteria not detailed. Includes patients with depression and other mental disorders.. n = 496. A city hospital psychiatry outpatient clinic; country and specific location not explicitly named in the provided text..
Childhood physical abuse was more prevalent among single individuals, those employed, rural residents, alcohol users, and those with poor sleep quality; declined with age Higher childhood emotional abuse observed in female patients, university graduates, and those diagnosed with depression Childhood physical and emotional neglect more common in university-educated patients, those living with families, depression diagnosis, tobacco/alcohol users, and those with suicide attempt history
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
Clinicians working with psychiatric patients should be aware that childhood trauma experiences are prevalent and vary by demographic (age, sex, education, economic status, residence) and clinical factors (diagnosis, substance use, sleep quality, suicide history). This may inform comprehensive trauma-informed assessment, but the associations reported are descriptive and do not establish causality or guide treatment.
A cross-sectional descriptive study without a control group, reporting associations between childhood trauma and demographic/clinical characteristics in a psychiatric outpatient sample, but lacking causal inference or comparison to non-clinical populations.

Aim: This study aims to examine the prevalence of childhood trauma experiences in individuals with mental disorders and the relationship of these experiences with demographic and clinical characteristics.Material and Method: The study was conducted with 496 individuals who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic of a city hospital. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF). Data analysis was performed using independent samples t-test (two groups) and one-way ANOVA with SPSS 23.0.Results: Analysis of participants’ adverse experiences suggests that although childhood physical abuse declines with age, it remains more prevalent among single individuals, those who are employed, residents of rural areas, individuals reporting alcohol use, and those with poor sleep quality. Higher levels of childhood emotional abuse were observed among female patients, university graduates, and individuals diagnosed with depression. In addition, childhood physical and emotional neglect were more common among university-educated patients, those living with their families, individuals with a diagnosis of depression, those reporting tobacco and alcohol use, and individuals with a history of suicide attempts. However, emotional neglect scores were lower among participants with poorer economic status compared to other groups.Conclusion: Childhood trauma is prevalent among individuals with psychiatric disorders and shows variation across demographic and clinical characteristics.
