The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress of mothers who suffered intimate partner violence (IPV) as predictors of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, and internalizing and externalizing problems of their children. The study was performed with 30 women and their children (43), housed in a shelter in the south of Brazil. Mothers answered a questionnaire about sociodemographic data; the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) about the data of her children aged from 6 to 10 years; and the BDI-II, PCL-C, and BAI for the mothers. It was applied the youth self-report (YSR) for adolescent sons aged 11 to 18 years. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The women presented high levels of posttraumatic stress, depression, and anxiety, and their children had 23.3% of clinical and 25.6% borderline cases according to the total problem scale of CBCL/YSR. The association of anxiety and depression of the mothers with the symptoms indicated by the CBCL/YSR was observed. The impact of IPV on children has little visibility, and the data demonstrate the urgent need to provide interventions in the service network in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention to women victims of IPV and their children.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar los niveles de depresión, ansiedad y estrés post traumático de madres que sufrieron violencia perpetrada por compañero íntimo (IPV), como predictores de depresión, ansiedad, trastorno de estrés post traumático, problemas internalizantes y externalizantes de sus hijos. La investigación fue realizada con 30 mujeres y sus hijos (43), abrigados en una casa de acogida en el sur de Brasil. En las madres, se aplicaron los siguientes instrumentos: cuestionario para levantamiento de los datos socio demográficos; CBCL sobre los datos de los niños de seis a diez años; BDI-II, PCL-C y BAI. En los hijos adolescentes, de 11 a 18 años, se aplicó el YSR. Los datos fueron analizados utilizando Regresión Lineal SImple. Las mujeres presentaron altos índices de estrés postraumático, depresión y ansiedad y 23.3% de sus hijos presentaron casos clínicos y 25.6% limítrofes en la escala de total de problemas del CBCL / YSR. Se observó la asociación de la ansiedad y depresión de las madres, con los síntomas indicados por el CBCL / YSR. El impacto de la IPV en los hijos tiene poca visibilidad y los datos demuestran la urgencia en proporcionar intervenciones en la red de servicios en la prevención primaria, secundaria y terciaria a las mujeres víctimas de IPV y sus hijos.
