“…The majority of women observed that the controlling tactics and abuse used towards them were also being used on children to establish an atmosphere of fear and unpredictability, and that the violence they experienced traumatized their children. This is also a clear finding from a metaanalysis of the research studies (Lourenço et al, ).…”

“…Children who witness, live with, or is exposed to domestic violence is the terminology often used to recognize that children may not be the primary target, but they are nevertheless significantly impacted by intimate partner violence (Levendosky, Bogat, & Martinez‐Torteya, ). The indirect nature of the harm may obfuscate the responsibility of fathers for harming their children through undermining the child's mother (physically and emotionally), through comprising the functioning of the family and creating an atmosphere of fear in which children are unable to thrive (Lourenço et al, ).…”

An earlier article referred to the “absent presence” of the perpetrator in the lives of children and their mothers who have lived with domestic violence. It identified the ways in which the shadow of the perpetrator continued and was evidenced in the “symptoms of abuse” that both women and children experienced in spite of his absence. The current article argues that fathers who use violence are actually more present than absent in the lives of children (and women), even following separation. A mixed method approach surveyed men in Men's Behaviour Change Programs (N = 101), and interviewed women who had experienced violence (N = 50). The studies reported that the majority of men in both the quantitative men's study (80%) and the qualitative women's study (77%) had substantial contact with children. The women's interviews highlight the problematic fathering that many of their children experienced, both before and after separation. They reported very high levels of child abuse and poor attitudes to both women and children. The article concludes that the family violence and child welfare systems are poorly configured to address fathers who use violence and continue to hold substantial parenting roles, including following separation.

“…More recent studies have shown similar outcomes, presenting a prevalence of depressive symptoms, insecurity, and post-traumatic stress disorder (75.8%), followed by behavioral problems and aggression (32.6%), and declining academic performance and bullying (20%) [14], or concluding that exposure to IPV was positively associated with child adjustment problems for externalizing and internalizing behaviors [15,16]. IPV is a form of child maltreatment, with harmful and long-term consequences for health and well-being [17,18].…”

Background: Exposure to violence perpetrated on a mother by her intimate partner (IPV or intimate partner violence) has an impact on the psychosocial adjustment of her children. In addition, the violence suffered by mothers could affect parental competences. Methods: Through the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), this work analyzes the psychosocial adjustment in children between 6 and 17 years old who live with their mothers in shelters after having experienced IPV situations. It also explores the association between mothers' parenting competences and children's adjustment in shelters. Results: The evaluation shows a negative correlation between the quality of mothers' care of their children during their stay in shelters and the rate of children's behavioral problems, so that the better the parental competences of mothers, the lower the rate of behavioral problems presented by children. Conclusions: As a result of IPV, mother-child relationships can be affected. Children exposed to IPV may exhibit more externalizing behavior problems and their mothers may have difficulty demonstrating competent parenting behaviors while living in a shelter. Work should be aimed at reestablishing parenting competences in mothers and the quality of mother-child interactions while they remain in the shelters, in an effort to mitigate the psychosocial consequences of IPV for their children.

“…Other researchers such as Evans and colleagues; Wentworth and Middleton; and Lourencoand colleagues [17][18][19] share the same finding concerning the influence of home to student performance and posit that lack of support from home leads to a downslide or decline in the academic performance of students. This normally happens in urban areas where most working parents are too busy to care for their children's performance.…”

The academic performance of the student nurses is by the assessment of competence, defined by a student's ability to demonstrate the performance of professional skills or behaviors. Despite its predictabilities, there is no study has been undertaken to determine the factors affecting the academic performance of student nurses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This study employed a quantitative-correlational design. There were 201 student nurses from the College of Nursing at University of Hail selected using convenience sampling. A modified survey questionnaire was utilized to gather data. The said questionnaire was subjected to pilot testing. Content validation and reliability test were conducted using a Cronbach Alpha which revealed a value of 0.940. Four types of factors such teacher-related with a mean 4.16, student-related (3.85), school-related (3.85), and home-related factors (3.54) were observed to have varying extent of effect on the academic performance of student nurses. Likewise age, gender, year level, marital status, socio-economic status and previous school attended by the student nurses showed varying extent of influence on their academic performance. A significant difference in the extent of effect gender has on the academic performance of student nurses as indicated by a t-value of 3.591 been revealed. Whereas, no significant difference was observed on the extent of effect type of school attended had on the academic performance of the student nurses as indicated by a t-value of 0.846; p-value: .398, age (t-value: 1.768; p-value: .155); year level (t-value: 0.530; p-value: .589); marital status (t-value: 1.813; p-value: .166), and socio-economic status (t-value: 0.031; p-value: .970). The identified factors significantly impact on the academic performance of student nurses. This finding is significant as it can be used by school administrators and teachers alike as basis in designing and implementing an intervention program geared towards an improved academic performance among student nurses.
