Abstract
PURPOSE
This study aimed to determine the history of childhood trauma and the relationship between childhood trauma and the course of the disease in female patients with bipolar disorder.
DESIGN AND METHODS
This study was conducted on 80 female patients in an acute women's psychiatric clinic in a psychiatric hospital in Turkey between April and July 2016.
FINDINGS
Emotional abuse had a statistically negative effect on the onset of bipolar disorder (F = 7.830; p < 0.01). In addition, physical neglect had a statistically positive effect on the duration of treatment (F = 6.811; p < 0.05).
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
Psychiatric nurses must systematically assess childhood trauma and plan psychotherapeutic interventions accordingly.
