Intimate partner violence (IPV) presents significant global health, human rights, and protection challenges, particularly during emergencies. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic exacerbated preexisting social inequalities, including those related to gender, race/ethnicity, and class, and led to an increase in IPV due to lockdown measures and economic stressors. This study aims to examine risk factors contributing to increased IPV among women and girls during COVID-19 mitigation strategies, explore the intersectional vulnerabilities of Black women in this setting, and compare IPV prevalence during the pandemic with other crises such as natural disasters and conflict settings. The review synthesized existing research to answer two primary questions. A comprehensive search was conducted across 11 databases. Eligible studies were peer-reviewed, published in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, and included women aged 15 years or older. Data extraction and quality assessments were performed by independent reviewers using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. The findings revealed that IPV rates increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to risk factors such as economic stress, social isolation, and lack of access to healthcare. Vulnerabilities were particularly pronounced for women and girls from marginalized groups, including Black women, who experienced compounded effects of race, class, and gender. The analysis also found similar patterns of increased IPV during other emergencies, including natural disasters and humanitarian crises. Key barriers to protection from IPV included limited access to resources, social and community support, and discrimination at a societal level. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions that address the specific needs of women experiencing IPV during crises, with a particular focus on marginalized groups. Recommendations include strengthening support systems, improving access to healthcare and protection networks, promoting anti-racist and equity-focused policies, and enhancing data collection methodologies. Addressing the intersectional nature of vulnerabilities is crucial to developing effective, culturally appropriate solutions to protect women and girls during crises.

Financial exploitation (FE) is among the most commonly reported forms of elder abuse, with older people living with dementia facing a heightened risk due to various vulnerabilities. Given its high prevalence and deleterious impact, limited research has specifically addressed this critical issue, such as the lack of studies examining risk factors and intervention strategies. Guided by the methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley, this scoping review aims to summarize the existing literature enhancing current knowledge and raising awareness about FE in this vulnerable population. Following a structured and systematic approach based on established scoping review protocols, we systematically searched 4 scientific databases (Ageline, Medline, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) for peer-reviewed articles published in English up to July 2024, identifying 21 articles for inclusion (14 quantitative and 7 qualitative). A comprehensive data extraction process identified seven key themes, including the prevalence of FE, the relationship between FE and cognitive function, case descriptions, risk factors, warning signs, strategies to address FE, and barriers (e.g., unclear professional responsibilities) and facilitators (e.g., strong advocacy services) to safeguarding. The findings emphasize the necessity for multilevel strategies to prevent and address FE at the individual, professional, institutional, and systemic levels. Research in this field is thematically diverse yet fragmented, with limited studies directly addressing the intersection of FE and dementia. These insights underscore the need for future research (e.g., adverse effects), policy-making (e.g., mandated reporting), and intervention development (e.g., caregiver education) to better support and protect this at-risk population.

Adolescent dating violence (ADV) is associated with short- and long-term physical and psychological adverse health outcomes. Therefore, it is crucial to implement prevention strategies to address ADV in settings that serve adolescents. One natural point of contact is healthcare settings, as adolescents may present to these settings due to general health concerns and concerns related to ADV exposure. However, little is known about the state of the science for how adolescent healthcare providers can participate in ADV prevention and work, as well as the potential barriers healthcare providers may face when incorporating ADV prevention strategies into their practice. To advance understanding, a systematic scoping review was conducted to summarize current evidence on (a) ADV prevention strategies in healthcare settings, and (b) healthcare provider perspectives on implementing ADV prevention strategies. The search was conducted in five relevant databases in September 2023. Peer-reviewed articles published in English before September 2023 were included if they addressed at least one study aim. After screening 5786 articles, 11 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Overall, there were only a few studies on ADV prevention strategies designed for implementation in healthcare settings. Common barriers identified to implementing ADV prevention strategies included limited time, training, and resources. Facilitators of implementation included ADV response protocols/guidelines and working in collaborative teams. This systematic scoping review demonstrates that further research is needed to develop and evaluate ADV prevention strategies for different healthcare settings, and to understand effective ways to address barriers to implementing these strategies.

In line with the popularity of online activities among school-aged children and adolescents, the prevalence of cyberbullying has continued to increase globally. Implementing effective intervention in schools could be a potential solution. This review aims to examine the effectiveness of a school-based intervention on cyberbullying-related outcomes and psychosocial well-being at postintervention and follow-up assessments and identify potential covariates on intervention effects. A three-step search was conducted using 12 electronic databases (Cochrane, ProQuest, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC, CNKI, Wanfang, and Airiti Library). Meta-analysis, subgroup, and meta-regression were adopted. A total of 44 randomized controlled trials involving 65,707 participants from 15 countries were included. Meta-analyses revealed that interventions significantly reduced cyberbullying perpetration (g = -.15, p < .001), victimization (g = -.11, p = .007), behavior (g = -.28, p < .001), and increased knowledge (g = .15, p = .013) after the intervention. The follow-up at ≤ 6 months showed a significant reduction in cyberbullying victimization (g = -.20, p = .007). We discovered that interventions had no significant impact on cyberbullying bystanders, attitudes, awareness, or psychosocial well-being. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses suggested that interventions with longer total hours and duration with ≥ 5 hr were more effective. Additionally, the results indicated diversity in cyberbullying outcomes based on region, age, gender, and comparator. Considering that the certainty of the evidence was either low or very low, we could consider implementing the intervention as an extracurricular activity. We need future robust trials with long-term follow-up assessments.
随着在线活动在学龄儿童和青少年中的流行，网络欺凌的流行在全球范围内继续增加。在学校实施有效的干预可能是一个潜在的解决办法。本综述旨在检查基于学校的干预对网络欺凌相关结果和心理社会健康在干预后和随访评估中的有效性，并确定干预效果的潜在协变量。采用12个电子数据库（Cochrane、ProQuest、PsycINFO、PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、EMBASE、CINAHL、ERIC、CNKI、万方、Airiti Library）进行三步检索。采用meta分析、亚组分析和meta回归分析。共纳入44项随机对照试验，涉及来自15个国家的65707名参与者。元分析显示，干预措施显著减少了网络欺凌的发生(g = - 0.15, p g = - 0.11, p =。007)，行为(g = - 0.28, p g =。15, p =。013)干预后。≤6个月的随访显示网络欺凌受害显著减少（g = - 0.20, p = .007）。我们发现干预措施对网络欺凌的旁观者、态度、意识或心理健康没有显著影响。亚组和荟萃回归分析表明，总时间较长和持续时间≥5小时的干预措施更有效。此外，研究结果还表明，网络欺凌的结果因地区、年龄、性别和比较国而异。考虑到证据的确定性很低或非常低，我们可以考虑将干预作为一项课外活动来实施。我们需要未来有长期随访评估的可靠试验。

This systematic review examines gender-based violence experienced by migrant women from Islamic background, focusing on the types of violence, their health impact, and associated risk and protective factors. A comprehensive search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, Medline, PubMed, and Dialnet, complemented by manual searches in Google Scholar, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Of the 332 studies identified, 25 met the inclusion criteria: quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods studies; full-text availability; studies addressing gender-based violence among migrant women from Islamic background; publications from 2004 to 2024; and studies published in English or Spanish. The mixed-methods appraisal tool was used to assess study quality. Results indicate that intimate partner violence was the most prevalent form, leading to severe physical and psychological consequences. Other forms of violence, such as female genital mutilation and forced marriage, were also reported. Risk and protective factors were identified across ecological levels. At the individual level, risk factors included language barriers and lack of awareness of support services, while spirituality and knowledge of rights were protective. At the microsystem level, the husband's control over the woman's life and economic dependence were risk factors, while concern for children and financial independence were protective. At the exosystem level, the negative role of religious leaders was a risk factor, while support from assistance services was protective. At the macrosystem level, cultural and religious norms that legitimize violence, along with the stigma surrounding divorce, were risk factors, whereas legislation against gender-based violence in host countries served as a protective factor.
本系统综述审查了来自伊斯兰背景的移民妇女所遭受的基于性别的暴力，重点是暴力的类型、对健康的影响以及相关的风险和保护因素。在Scopus、Web of Science、Medline、PubMed和Dialnet中进行了全面的搜索，并在b谷歌Scholar中进行了人工搜索，遵循了系统评价和元分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南。在确定的332项研究中，25项符合纳入标准：定量、定性或混合方法研究；全文可用性;针对来自伊斯兰背景的移民妇女的性别暴力的研究；2004 - 2024年出版物；以及用英语或西班牙语发表的研究。采用混合方法评价工具评价研究质量。结果表明，亲密伴侣暴力是最普遍的形式，导致严重的身体和心理后果。其他形式的暴力，如切割女性生殖器官和强迫婚姻，也有报告。在生态层面上确定了风险和保护因素。在个人一级，风险因素包括语言障碍和缺乏对支助服务的认识，而精神和权利知识则具有保护作用。在微观层面上，丈夫对妇女生活和经济依赖的控制是危险因素，而对儿童的关心和经济独立是保护因素。在外系统层面，宗教领袖的负面作用是一个风险因素，而援助服务的支持是保护性因素。在宏观系统一级，使暴力合法化的文化和宗教规范以及围绕离婚的耻辱是危险因素，而东道国反对基于性别的暴力的立法则是保护因素。

Asian Americans are one of the fastest-growing racial/ethnic populations in the United States, comprising approximately 7% of the total population. Despite their significant presence, Asian communities have often been overlooked in discussions of crime and victimization, including intimate partner violence (IPV). Due to limited attention from scholars and policymakers, the extent of IPV within Asian communities remains poorly understood, as does the availability and effectiveness of intervention programs designed to prevent IPV. To address this gap, we aimed to assess the current status of IPV intervention programs among Asian communities in the United States and provide recommendations for future research and policy based on our findings. We analyzed a total of nine studies-seven peer-reviewed journal articles and two dissertations. Most studies employed quantitative methods, utilizing multiple data collection techniques, including surveys, in-depth interviews, and (quasi-)experimental designs. Our findings identified five different types of interventions, primarily targeting community members and leaders to prevent IPV among Asian women. These interventions employed (quasi-)experimental designs with pre- and post-measurements and assessed outcomes multiple times. However, none of the studies justified their chosen number of assessments or the duration of the follow-up period. We discuss the policy implications of our findings and outline a future research agenda to improve IPV intervention efforts within Asian communities.

Young adults increasingly initiate, maintain, and end sexual relationships online, an evolution that has also transformed how sexual violence may be perpetrated. Nonconsensual intimate image dissemination (NCIID) has gained attention in research, policy, and media. Yet, to date, there has been no synthesis of the literature on NCIID victimization. The goals of this review were to: (a) describe the frequency and nature of NCIID victimization, (b) examine the impacts of experiencing NCIID, and (c) identify survivor coping strategies. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest were systematically searched for peer-reviewed qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies published in English by February 1, 2025. A total of 49 studies met the inclusion criteria. The reported frequency of NCIID ranged from 3% to 65%, with higher rates among those who experienced some other form of technology-facilitated sexual violence. Perpetrators were often current or former partners, and content was shared through both private messaging and public platforms. Victim-survivors frequently reported psychological (e.g., depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder), social (e.g., ostracism, victim-blaming), and academic/occupational harms. Help-seeking strategies included disclosing to trusted others, legal action, and content reporting, while coping through avoidance strategies included relocation, withdrawal, or trying to act as if nothing happened. Barriers to help-seeking included stigma, lack of awareness, and prior negative experiences with authorities. Findings highlight the urgent need for survivor-centered support systems, awareness campaigns, and broader conversations about consent in digitally mediated sexual encounters.
年轻人越来越多地在网上发起、维持和结束性关系，这一演变也改变了性暴力的实施方式。非自愿亲密图像传播（Nonconsensual intimate image dissemination， NCIID）已经引起了研究、政策和媒体的广泛关注。然而，到目前为止，还没有关于NCIID受害的综合文献。本综述的目的是：(a)描述NCIID受害的频率和性质，(b)检查经历NCIID的影响，以及(c)确定幸存者应对策略。根据系统评价和荟萃分析扩展范围评价（PRISMA-ScR）指南的首选报告项目，PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science和ProQuest系统地检索了2025年2月1日之前发表的同行评议的定性、定量和混合方法的英文研究。共有49项研究符合纳入标准。据报道，NCIID的发生率从3%到65%不等，在那些经历过其他形式的技术促进性暴力的人中，发生率更高。犯罪者通常是现任或前任伴侣，内容通过私人信息和公共平台共享。受害者-幸存者经常报告心理（例如，抑郁、焦虑、创伤后应激障碍）、社会（例如，排斥、受害者责备）和学术/职业伤害。寻求帮助的策略包括向信任的人披露、法律行动和内容报告，而通过回避策略应对的策略包括搬迁、撤离或假装什么都没发生。寻求帮助的障碍包括耻辱、缺乏认识以及先前与当局的负面经历。研究结果强调，迫切需要建立以幸存者为中心的支持系统，开展宣传活动，并就数字媒介性接触中的同意进行更广泛的对话。

Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest were systematically searched for peer-reviewed qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies published in English by February 1, 2025. A total of 49 studies met the inclusion criteria. The reported frequency of NCIID ranged from 3% to 65%, with higher rates among those who experienced some other form of technology-facilitated sexual violence. Perpetrators were often current or former partners, and content was shared through both private messaging and public platforms. Victim-survivors frequently reported psychological (e.g., depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder), social (e.g., ostracism, victim-blaming), and academic/occupational harms. Help-seeking strategies included disclosing to trusted others, legal action, and content reporting, while coping through avoidance strategies included relocation, withdrawal, or trying to act as if nothing happened. Barriers to help-seeking included stigma, lack of awareness, and prior negative experiences with authorities. Findings highlight the urgent need for survivor-centered support systems, awareness campaigns, and broader conversations about consent in digitally mediated sexual encounters.","PeriodicalId":54211,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Violence & Abuse","volume":"12 1","pages":"15248380251383940"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145351538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Asian women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) often face compound challenges in addressing abuse and its negative consequences. While prior reviews have identified barriers to help-seeking, fewer have examined the factors that facilitate help-seeking. The current scoping review addresses this gap by synthesizing findings from 33 empirical studies published between 2003 and 2024 that explore the help-seeking experiences of Asian women IPV survivors in the United States. The review indicates that help-seeking is a non-linear, iterative process; the individuals or systems that survivors initially approach can significantly influence their subsequent actions. The reviewed studies suggest that women's help-seeking typically begins with recognizing that IPV is occurring and acknowledging it as an issue that needs to be addressed. When survivors seek support, facilitators include supportive informal and formal networks, as well as human and social capital, such as English proficiency, having U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, and transportation and financial independence. Once survivors engage with services, it is crucial that these services are comprehensive, bilingual, and culturally responsive. Survivor strengths, including self-efficacy, personal aspiration, and self-care practices, also play a critical role in fostering resilience. Implications focus on improving responses to IPV among informal networks and formal systems, including increasing IPV awareness through evidence-based tools, developing community-based strategies to transform social networks into sources of support, attuning interventions to survivors' help-seeking readiness, and ensuring services are linguistically and culturally appropriate.

People living with dementia face a disproportionately high risk of abuse and neglect, yet safeguarding responses remain underexplored, particularly within the context of English legal and care systems. This realist review investigates how safeguarding practices for people with dementia operate in England, examining what works, for whom, in what circumstances, and why. Drawing on 44 studies published between 2014 and 2024, supplemented by extensive stakeholder engagement with individuals with lived experience, carers, practitioners, and community representatives, the review synthesizes evidence through Context-Mechanism-Outcome configurations. Five core domains emerged: stakeholder roles, conceptualization of abuse and neglect, safeguarding processes and diversity, safeguarding law and policy, and partnership working. Findings reveal that effective safeguarding depends not only on statutory frameworks like the Care Act 2014 and Mental Capacity Act 2005, but also on professional judgement, relational dynamics, and inter-agency collaboration. Significant barriers include inconsistent training, conceptual ambiguity, cultural stigma, and systemic under-resourcing. Importantly, safeguarding outcomes improves in environments where legal literacy, trust, and communication are strong, and services are culturally competent and person-centered. The review highlights the need for integrated, rights-based approaches and greater inclusivity in safeguarding systems to better protect diverse populations of people living with dementia.

Experiencing violence in childhood and adolescence is both common and long-lasting, and associated with poor short- and long-term health and economic outcomes. In this study, we reviewed evidence from longitudinal studies on the association between violence in childhood and work outcomes to determine the direction and magnitude of the association, explore variations by violence type, identify evidence gaps, and describe the extent of research and findings on mediators. We systematically searched nine databases for longitudinal studies reporting on the association between violence in childhood and work outcomes, and conducted a narrative synthesis. We identified 46 reports of 27 cohorts, with all but one cohort from high-income countries. This review shows that there is strong evidence from high-income countries that violence in childhood is associated with a range of negative work outcomes. Evidence is strongest for official reports of child abuse and neglect, physical violence, bullying, and composite violence measures, but more mixed for sexual violence. There is less evidence for emotional violence, witnessing violence, neglect, and adolescent intimate partner violence. Associations are similar for men and women. Nine reports conducted mediation analyses, mainly examining educational factors as mediators. Evidence suggests that educational factors may partially mediate the relationship between violence and negative work outcomes. Cognition, mental health, and non-cognitive skills may also be mediators. There is a need for data from low- and middle-income countries, and further mediation analyses to help guide efforts to reduce negative consequences of violence.
