Background

Violence against women and children is a global issue with profound impacts on health and well-being. Intimate partner violence (IPV) and violent discipline often coexist within households, yet the impact of their co-occurrence on child health remains understudied, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like the Philippines.

Objective

This study sought to assess the independent and joint associations of IPV and violent discipline within households on child morbidity outcomes.

Methods

Using data from 6414 mother-child pairs from the 2022 Philippine National Demographic and Health Survey, logistic regression models were used to analyze the independent and joint associations between past-year maternal IPV, past-month violent child discipline and child morbidity (acute respiratory infection (ARI), fever and diarrhea in the past two weeks). Stratified analyses were performed by household wealth.

Results

About 16 % of the mothers experienced IPV in the past year, 62 % of children experienced violent discipline in the past month, and 12 % of families experienced both. In the two weeks preceding the survey, fever was the most prevalent symptom of child illness (10.5 %), followed by diarrhea (5.8 %) and ARI (1.3 %). IPV and violent discipline were independently associated with increased risks of ARI, fever, and diarrhea in children under five. Their co-occurrence further heightened the risk of child morbidity (ARI aOR: 3.5, 95 % CI 1.7–7.1, fever aOR: 2.5, 95 % CI: 1.8–3.3, and diarrhea aOR: 2.5, 95 % CI 1.8–3.5), and these associations were consistent between poor and wealthy households.

Conclusions

These findings call for comprehensive interventions, such as parenting and community-based programs that aim to address family violence, including IPV and violent discipline, to mitigate impacts on child health in LMICs.

Background

Prosocial and aggressive behaviors between siblings have typically been studied independently; however, their joint investigation could provide valuable insight into relationship dynamics, particularly for young people exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV).

Objectives

The aims of the present study were: 1) to compare the degree of association and frequency of observed prosocial and aggressive behaviors between siblings who were and were not exposed to IPV; 2) to explore if characteristics of sibling relationships such as warmth and age spacing were significant predictors of prosocial and aggressive behavior in these groups, and 3) to explore if length of exposure moderated these predictors in families affected by IPV.

Methods

Forty-seven mothers of two school-aged siblings with a history of IPV were recruited from the community, along with 45 families without such a history. Unstructured observations of sibling prosocial and aggressive behavior were conducted in a laboratory setting. Siblings reported on warmth in their relationships.

Results

On average, both groups engaged in similar levels of prosocial and aggressive behavior; however, a greater number of siblings exposed to IPV engaged in aggression than unexposed siblings. While older sibling warmth and age spacing were significant positive predictors of prosocial behavior for both groups, length of exposure to IPV moderated these associations for exposed siblings only.

Conclusions

Sibling prosocial behavior was just as frequent in both groups, but aggressive behavior was more common between siblings exposed to IPV. The findings have important implications for interventions targeting siblings.

Background: There has been limited research examining the perspectives of children and youth receiving protective services during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite reported challenges of unmet support needs due to reduced services.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to elicit experiences in navigating the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of youth receiving child/youth protection and advocacy services, and that of their supporters/advocates. Participants were invited to reflect on their experiences in the pandemic and offer recommendations for better supporting youth during a pandemic.

Participants and setting: Using a convenience sampling approach, 32 participants were recruited for study participation. They comprised youth receiving child/youth protection and advocacy services (n = 10), peer mentors (e.g., young adults who had received and aged out of youth protective services) (n = 2), informal adult supporters/advocates such as foster parents (n = 4), and professional service providers/advocates serving youth who were receiving youth protection services (n = 16).

Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were inductively analyzed based on line-by-line coding, code categorization, identification of themes, and mapping of themes.

Results: Support provided by child/youth protection and advocacy services were decreased or modified during the pandemic. Participants conveyed pandemic-related challenges both for youth and service providers, yet resilience among youth. Impacts on youth comprised mental health struggle, uncertainty and feeling alone, increased personal responsibility, personal coping strategies, and heightened recognition of system gaps. Recommendations for future pandemic planning and recovery are offered.

Conclusions: Critical struggles of youth in receipt of mandated protective and advocacy services, and their supporters resulted from service modifications in the pandemic. Results inform services, and call for action in advancing proactive pandemic/disaster planning in the child and youth care sector.

Background

Child sexual abuse (CSA) not only poses a substantial risk to the mental and physical health of adult survivors, but it may also involve doubt around its labeling, a phenomenon known as ambivalent acknowledgment. The trauma literature suggests that ambivalent acknowledgment has clinical, legal, and social consequences, and that the unique victim-perpetrator dynamic, manifested in identification with the aggressor (IWA), may contribute to this phenomenon. However, no study has yet explored the relationship between IWA and ambivalent acknowledgment.

Objective

Addressing this gap, the present study examined the relationship between IWA and ambivalent acknowledgment, as well as the contribution of IWA profile type in explaining ambivalent acknowledgment beyond CSA features.

Participants and setting

The sample consisted of 437 CSA survivors, with a mean age of 34.10 (S·D = 9.5). Of these, 106 (24.3 %) acknowledged CSA, while the remaining 331 (75.7 %) reported ambivalent acknowledgment.

Methods

An online survey was conducted among Israeli female adults using self-report measures.

Results

Results indicated that ambivalent acknowledgment was related to higher levels of IWA, and respondents with a higher IWA profile were more than twice (OR = 2.59) as likely to belong to the ambivalent acknowledgment group, even after accounting for the perpetrator's gender, the perpetrator’ role in the victim's life, the severity of the abuse, and the recurrence of the abuse.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that survivors' ambiguity around CSA labeling may be rooted in IWA. Therefore, the development of therapeutic approaches aimed at reducing IWA may help survivors to acknowledge their abuse.

Background

The existing literature has already established the connection between childhood maltreatment and suicidal behavior. However, it is imperative to delve deeper into comprehending the potential mediation and moderation mechanisms that operate between them, especially when considering a developmental perspective.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate a chain mediation model in which childhood maltreatment influences suicidal behavior through social-emotional competency and thwarted interpersonal needs (TIN) and explored the moderating role of state self-compassion in the model.

Participants and setting

A sample of 1660 Chinese adolescents (51.93 % boys; Mage = 13.51; SD = 0.83) enrolled in junior middle school was selected as participants for this study. They were required to complete self-administered questionnaires at three intervals spanning a period of one year.

Method

The proposed moderated chain mediation model was examined through structural equation modeling with Mplus 8.0 software.

Results

Social-emotional competency and TIN at T2 sequentially mediated the relations between childhood maltreatment at T1 and suicidal behavior at T3. Furthermore, state self-compassion at T2 moderated the relations between TIN at T2 and suicidal behavior at T3.

Conclusions

The findings provided valuable insights into the underlying mechanism linking childhood maltreatment and suicidal behavior over development, emphasizing the potential of interventions targeting social-emotional competency, TIN, and state self-compassion in serving as preventive measures to disrupt the developmental pathway from childhood maltreatment to adolescent suicidal behavior.

Background

Child maltreatment (CM) is a multidimensional construct that requires complex multivariate approaches to properly operationalize the heterogeneity inherent in the exposure. Person-centered approaches, such as Latent Class Analysis (LCA), have emerged as promising methods, with a proliferation of studies in the past decade applying LCA to capture patterns of CM exposure across multiple dimensions. This line of research has been highly generative and also led to disparate findings about the conclusions regarding typical patterning of CM across studies, potentially due to differences in samples, measurements, and indicator selection. Moreover, it is yet unclear whether latent classes are a product of specific samples, or if they can be reproduced across studies that use similar methods.

Objective

The current study addresses this gap by replicating a previous LCA of CM exposure using Confirmatory LCA (CLCA)—a first in the literature.

Participants

The sample comprises a racially-ethnically diverse cohort of 566 low-income children aged 8–10 (Mean = 9.42, SD = 0.88). Half of the cohort was recruited based on documented histories of CM exposure and the other half contained demographically-matched, nonmaltreated children.

Results

Results provide evidence for the replication of four unique latent classes of CM exposure: a) nonmaltreated, b) Episodic, Single-Type (Neglect), c) Episodic, Single-Type (Abuse), d) Chronic, Multi-Type.

Conclusion

Reproducing latent classes of CM exposure in different samples of CM survivors contributes to the robustness of these specific CM LCAs and serves as an important step toward addressing replication concerns.

Resilience in child protection professional teams (CPP) involves complex interactions at the individual, team and organizational levels. Understanding these multiscale, multimodal dynamics is critical to improving the resilience of CPP teams under enormous stress due to factors such as high work demands, pandemics, and geopolitical events, etc. While resilience has been considered a systemic phenomenon, the dynamic interactions between the individual, team, and organization; how they inform resilience; and how they adapt in the face of adversity remains to be adequately formalized. This paper explores the study of the complex dynamics of team resilience in the context of CPP and how agent-based modelling (ABM) can be used to systematically investigate resilience. Specifically, we explore the attributes of ABM that make it ideal to capturing resilience, outline the steps the uninitiated can take to adopt ABM, and showcase investigations that have used ABM in the childcare and resilience context. This review highlights the potential of ABM in modelling the multifaceted nature of team resilience, predicting outcomes and developing strategies that are critical to long-term success and well-being in dynamic and challenging environments.

Background

Despite the higher incidence and greater severity of sexual abuse of children with disabilities (CWD), these cases are often under-disclosed and under-reported. Technological advances and the increasing online presence of CWD have extended the scope of sexual abuse beyond physical spaces, raising additional concerns.

Objective

The purpose of the study is to examine disclosure and reporting based on case reports addressing online child sexual abuse (OCSA) of CWD.

Participants and setting

The data include 22 reports from an Israeli hotline documenting instances of OCSA involving CWD aged 11 to 17.

Methods

Inductive thematic analysis on all 22 reports.

Results

Four main themes were identified: disclosure characteristics, reasons for delayed disclosure, responses following the discovery of the OCSA, and critical gaps in reporting to authorities and in the authorities' responses following the report.

Conclusion

The study highlights the significant challenges CWD face when disclosing and reporting OCSA. Negative responses, which are often characterized by a lack of validation, frequently hinder their willingness to disclose and lead to delayed reporting, resulting in continuing sexual abuse. Addressing this issue requires professional attention and heightened awareness among parents and professionals regarding the online dangers facing these children, emphasizing the need for supportive responses and authorities' involvement.

Background

Childhood abuse is a significant risk factor for worse adult mental and physical health. Although reported as important moderators, only a few studies have analyzed the effects of the age of onset and duration of abuse, particularly including potential sex differences.

Objective

To investigate the impact of timing and severity of childhood abuse on adult mental and physical health issues, with an emphasis on sex differences.

Participants and settings

Data from 2412 participants (52 % women, 28–89 years) of the general population.

Methods

The Childhood Trauma Screener (CTS) was extended to assess the severity additionally to the age of onset and cumulative exposure across predefined age intervals of physical, emotional, and sexual childhood abuse. Associations with adult health behavior, mental health issues, and inflammatory markers were investigated using regression analyses, complemented by sex interactions.

Results

An earlier onset of emotional abuse was associated with lower resilience (b = −0.51, p = 0.034), whereas greater cumulative exposure to emotional abuse was associated with an earlier onset of depression (b = −4.53, p = 0.041) and more severe depressive symptoms (b = 0.94, p = 0.049). Effect directions differed between men and women for associations between the age of onset of emotional abuse and C-reactive protein levels (b = −0.03, p = 0.042) as well as the cumulative exposure of emotional abuse and fibrinogen levels (b = 0.04, p = 0.007).

Conclusions

The findings underscore the significance of both severity and timing on adult health outcomes, with notable sex differences. These results support the need for targeted prevention programs that consider multiple maltreatment aspects, along with tailored interventions based on sex-specific vulnerabilities.
