صدمات الطفولة (العاطفية والجسدية) وعلاقتها باضطراب الشخصية الحدية لدى طلبة من جامعة القدس
The study aimed to explore the relationship between childhood trauma (emotional and physical) and borderline personality disorders among students at Al-Quds University. A descriptive correlational methodology was used, and two questionnaires were developed to collect data: the first to measure childhood trauma, consisting of 23 items, and the second to measure borderline personality disorder, consisting of 36 items. Both questionnaires were verified for validity and reliability. The sample consisted of 202 students, selected randomly. The results indicated that the levels of childhood trauma were low, while the level of borderline personality disorder was moderate. Emotional neglect scored the highest mean, followed by physical neglect, emotional abuse, and physical abuse. The results also showed a positive correlation between childhood trauma and borderline personality disorder. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found in trauma levels in favor of males and students with divorced parents, as well as in borderline personality disorder levels in favor of males and those with divorced parents.
