DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Scientific knowledge about the effects of trauma on children, including domestic violence, has grown significantly in the last few years. However, there are some areas that have not been well described yet, including the effect of uxoricide on children. Uxoricide, the killing of one spouse by the other is, unfortunately, an all too common occurrence. In a family with minor children the effect can be devastating, for in a single act, the children lose both parents - one has died and the other is either a fugitive, in prison or has committed suicide. Some studies have begun to document the immediate effect of this kind of trauma on children, but the long-term consequences have not been investigated. In order to develop ways to help these most vulnerable children, research needs to be conducted on what they face growing up. This retrospective, exploratory study will use qualitative methods to describe the experiences of children from the time of the traumatic killing until adulthood. The sample will consist of 90 men and women, who when they were children lived through the killing of one of their parents by the other. The participants will be asked to give a narrative account of their experiences as children including those circumstances, people, ideas, or attitudes that helped or hindered them.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于创伤对儿童的影响（包括家庭暴力）的科学知识在过去几年中已经显着增长。但是，有些领域尚未得到很好的描述，包括乌克里克的对儿童的影响。不幸的是，乌克里克（Uxoricide），另一个配偶被另一个配偶杀死。在一个有未成年子女的家庭中，这种效果可能是毁灭性的，因为在一次行动中，孩子失去了父母 - 一个人死了，另一个是逃犯，在监狱中或自杀。一些研究已经开始记录这种创伤对儿童的直接影响，但尚未研究长期后果。为了开发帮助这些最脆弱的儿童的方法，需要对他们面临的成长进行研究。这项回顾性的探索性研究将使用定性方法来描述从创伤性杀害到成年时的儿童的经历。该样本将由90名男女组成，他们小时候通过另一个父母杀害他们的父母。将要求参与者对他们作为孩子的经历进行叙述，包括这些情况，人，想法或态度，对他们有帮助或阻碍他们。
