“…But, in general, resilience is an intrinsic–extrinsic concept and one of the most important components affecting health (Zolkoski & Bullock, 2012). Resilience as a personal characteristic leads to positive adaptation and moderates the negative effects of stressors, enabling people to rehabilitate and maintain their health in spite of existing problems (Tonmyr, Wekerle, Zangeneh, & Fallon, 2011; Wagnild & Young, 1993). According to Zolkoski and Bullock (2012), studies conducted over the past four decades on the concept of resilience indicate that this is a challenging concept for researchers, and there are several different definitions of resilience (Jacelon, 1997; Leipold & Greve, 2009; Nourian, Mohammadi Shahbolaghi, Nourozi Tabrizi, Rassouli, & Biglarrian, 2016; Vinson, 2002).…”

Children and adolescents are vulnerable in times of disaster and they will suffer more severely if neglected. The concept of resilience differs between cultures, and identifying the components of resilience is essential for decision making and interventions in disasters such as risk management. This study aimed to identify the components of children’s resilience in disasters in Iran. This qualitative study took a content-analysis approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 23 people and three group meetings. Conventional content analysis was used for data analysis. MAXQDA 10 software was used for classification. The resilience components derived from the data were categorized into two main categories, internal and external, and eight subcategories covering psychological, emotional, cognitive, mental, spiritual, physical, social, and behavioral factors. The results also showed that the nature of resilience is both intrinsic and extrinsic. Recognizing the dimensions of children’s resilience in disasters can lead to a new perspective for authorities and planners in disaster and emergency situations. The results of this study could be used by planners and policymakers to develop interventions to enhance children’s and adolescents’ resilience at the time of disasters, which is also underlined and highlighted by international documents.

“…However, the route leading to substance use and IPA is still not well understood (Eckhardt et al, 2015). Whilst childhood maltreatment and the witnessing of parental IPA have been associated with IPA and substance use (Tonmyr et al, 2011;Wekerle et al, 2009a;Wekerle et al, 2009b;Wekerle & Wolfe, 2003;Felitti et al, 1998;Rogosch et al, 2010), findings are based on quantitative data and less is known about the dynamic role of such factors that draw on personal experiences in a qualitative manner.…”

Substance Use and Intimate Partner Abuse (IPA): A Descriptive Model of the Pathways Between Substance Use and IPA Perpetration for Men

et al. 2022

Intimate partner abuse (IPA) is a pervasive public health and human rights issue disproportionately affecting women. There is a complex link between IPA and substance use; substance use can increase both the frequency and severity of IPA. Pathway models have been applied to explore heterogeneous trajectories into other behaviours and to identify areas for intervention. This approach has not previously been applied in the area of substance use and IPA. Inductive thematic analysis of 37 interviews with heterosexual men aged 28–52 who had reported previous IPA perpetration was conducted. Men were recruited from alcohol and drug services across two areas of England. Three groupings of pathways into substance use-related IPA were generated: 1) Rule Breaking Pathway (n = 11); 2) Entrenched Substance Use Pathway (n = 13); and 3) Relationship Insecurity Pathway (n = 13). Across the three groupings of pathways, the men’s childhood and early experiences led to different journeys into SU-related IPA (abuse that was associated with intoxication, withdrawal, acquisition and substance use lifestyle). Each pathway presented differently with varying core features, for example core features of generalised violence, mental health or jealousy, and different predisposing background factors, including types and timing of childhood abuse and trauma. Adopting a pathways approach drawing on principles of equifinality and multifinality can improve understanding of heterogeneity in men who perpetrate IPA and use substances and propose treatment/intervention targets.

“…Resilience, defined as positive adaptation in spite of serious adversity (Masten, 2006), came to occupy a preeminent role in child welfare theory and research in Canada during 2000-2013. We focus here on our own resilience-based research, based on the Looking After Children approach to child welfare, bur the interested reader will find other Canadian research stemming from alternative streams of resilience theory in recent special issues of journals; in chronological order, these sources include Carrey and Unger (2007), Yates and Wekerle (2009), Stewart (2011), Tommyr, Wekerle, Zangeneh, and Fallon (2011), Tommyr and Wekerle (2013), and Wekerle and Wolfe (2013).…”

The paper begins by suggesting that child welfare systems in North America and selected European and Scandinavian countries have converged functionally over the last two decades from a focus on child protection or family service to a more comprehensive child development orientation. The overview of the US in-care system covers the topics of mandatory reporting of child maltreatment, permanency planning, foster care funding, and decentralized service provision. It also portrays the current US foster care population and describes recent research on efforts to reduce the number of children in care, differential response, practice and policy reform, subsidized guardianship, Casey Family Programs, transitions to adulthood, and racial disparities in placements in out-of-home care. The overview of the Canadian in-care system notes the responsibility of the 10 provinces and three northern territories for child welfare and the concomitant lack of national data on child protection or out-of-home care. Estimates of the number of children in care are presented, and a review of research describes the following topics: rates and types of maltreatment, over-representation of Aboriginal children in care, prevention of the recurrence of neglect and physical abuse, effects of placement into care, differential response, resilience, educational achievement, and transitions from care. The paper concludes by noting certain differences and similarities between the US and Canadian in-care systems.
