“…The main risk factors for normal neurocognitive development are related to conditions of the prenatal stage, perinatal circumstances, nutritional, infectious and toxic factors, and child-rearing practices [ 42 ], as well as socioeconomic conditions, in especially those related to poverty, in general, and extreme poverty in particular [ 43 ] and with exposure to violence [ 23 ]. Many of these circumstances are present in the sample of this study.…”

Neuropsychological studies on refugee children are scarce, but there are even less in the case of Palestinian children. This work aims to study the neuropsychological performance of Palestinian refugee children in Palestine compared to other Palestinian children living outside refugee camps. A comprehensive Neuropsychological battery was administrated to 584 Palestinian school children (464 refugees and 120 non-refugees) aged 6, 7, and 8 years old. Results showed that non-refugee children outperformed refugee children in sustained attention, verbal comprehension, verbal memory, and visual memory. This study is the first to have performed a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, based on a standardized and validated battery with the Palestinian refugee children. It supports professionals in their evaluation of neurodevelopment and neuropsychological alterations in refugee and non-refugee children in Palestine.

“…Quanto aos fatores socioeconômicos, a literatura aponta a existência de associação entre o nível de escolaridade dos responsáveis e a renda familiar com a ocorrência de dificuldades emocionais e comportamentais em crianças (Pérez-Marfil et al, 2020;Merez, Tottenham, & Noble, 2018). Pesquisas atuais referem que crianças com baixo nível socioeconômico familiar obtiveram maiores escores para sintomas internalizantes e externalizantes (Pérez-Marfil et al, 2020;Boe et al, 2014;Bromberger et al, 2017;Mills-Koonce, Willoughby, Garret-Peters, Wagner, & Vernon-Feagans, 2016 (Santos, Farrington, Agra, & Cardoso, 2020). Nesse estudo, percebe-se que os responsáveis não classificaram a maior parte das crianças em nível Contextos Clínicos, v. 13, n. 1, jan./abr.…”

“…Os fatores familiares são relativos ao estilo parental e práticas educativas, além da capacidade de afeição e vínculo, eventos familiares estressantes e a presença de psicopatologia em algum ou ambos cuidadores (Gauy & Rocha, 2014). A literatura apresenta como fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de sintomas de transtornos mentais em crianças: a presença de sintomatologia nos cuidadores, fatores socioeconômicos baixos, alto nível de estresse parental e práticas parentais punitivas (Pérez-Marfil et al, 2020;Boe et al, 2014;Piotrowska et al, 2020).…”

Esse estudo teve como objetivo investigar a associação de sintomas psicopatológicos entre crianças e cuidadores. Este é um estudo quantitativo e transversal. Para a avaliação, utilizou-se o Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/6-18) e o Adult Self-Report (ASR), inventários que avaliam aspectos clínicos e de funcionamento da criança e dos responsáveis, respectivamente. Participaram 70 adultos que preencheram ambos inventários. Os dados foram analisados no programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 24.0. Os sintomas avaliados basearam-se nas variáveis dos inventários. Os resultados apresentam correlação positiva entre as sintomatologias ansiedade/depressão, isolamento/depressão, problemas somáticos, problemas internalizantes, problemas externalizantes e total de problemas entre responsáveis e crianças. Houve discrepância na classificação dos escores entre adultos e crianças nas variáveis ansiedade/depressão e total de problemas. Percebe-se que houve correlação positiva entre a presença de sintomatologia psicopatológica dos cuidadores e a existência dos mesmos sintomas nas crianças. Esses achados vão ao encontro de estudos que apontam a importância de estudar o componente familiar como fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de sintomas de transtornos mentais na infância. Frente a isso, torna-se necessário considerar os fatores de proteção e risco ao avaliar e planejar o tratamento para o público infanto-juvenil. Palavras-chave: avaliação de sintomas; psicopatologia; infância.

“…Sociodemographic variables were used to explore prevalence rates of reported child emotional-behavioural and school difficulties among sub-populations and as potential confounders in the multivariable analyses (18)(19)(20)(21). These variables included parental ethnicity (European, Māori, Pacific, Asian, MELAA [Middle East or Latin American or African]) and food security status (secure, insecure).…”

Intergenerational Impact of Violence Exposure: Emotional-Behavioural and School Difficulties in Children Aged 5–17

et al. 2022

Background and Objectives: The intergenerational impacts of parental exposure to violence during childhood and adulthood have largely been investigated separately. This limits our understanding of how cumulative violence exposure over a lifespan elevates the risk of subsequent generation's maladjustment. To address this, we examined if parental exposure to violence during childhood and during adulthood was associated with increased emotional-behavioural and school difficulties among the children of these parents. Further, we examined if parental exposure to cumulative violence increased the odds of their children experiencing difficulties.Participants and Setting: 705 participants (354 mothers and 351 fathers) from the 2019 New Zealand Family Violence Survey, a population-based study conducted in New Zealand between March 2017 and March 2019.Methods: Multivariable logistic regressions were conducted to ascertain the impact of parental exposure to violence on children's outcomes after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics. The impact of parental cumulative violence exposure on children's outcomes was also explored.Results: Findings indicated that children of parents who had histories of exposure to violence during childhood were at increased risk for experiencing emotional-behavioural or school difficulties. However, where parents reported a history of childhood abuse but not adult experience of violence, their children had similar odds of experiencing difficulties as the children of parents who had not been exposed to any violence in their lifetime. Children of parents who had been exposed to violence only during adulthood were at higher risk of experiencing emotional-behavioural difficulties compared with children of parents with no violence exposure. Children of parents with histories of exposure to violence during both childhood and adulthood had the highest prevalence of experiencing emotional/behavioural and school difficulties.Conclusion: These findings highlight the intergenerational impacts of violence exposure and the complex intersections between parents' and children's life experiences. Our findings suggest the need for violence prevention initiatives to foster the development of safe, stable and nurturing relationships and to expand services for parents already exposed to violence to build resilience and to break the inter-generational cycle of disadvantage.
