“…In addition, it is well-known that the quality of the relationship between parents and children is a predictor of a child's future development and numerous studies have shown that a positive association with an adult caregiver can serve as a protective factor that mitigates the effects of adverse circumstances [13,28]. In situations of IPV, the quality of child-rearing and the emotional bond also moderates the result of evaluations of children's psychosocial adjustment [29,30].…”

“…The effects of abuse on a woman, such as raised stress levels, emotional problems, financial precariousness, job insecurity, and so on, can also affect how she carries out her maternal role, making it difficult for her to meet the needs of her children [31][32][33][34]. They can also cause deficits in her affective responses, as well as difficulties in carrying out parenting tasks [29,30,32].…”

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 research [ 48 , 49 ] has pointed out that the psychological abuse suffered by the mother significantly affects the development of psychopathology in children, in both internalizing and externalizing problems. Likewise, a recent study by López-Soler and colleagues [ 50 ] considered five types of abuse (physical and psychological maltreatment suffered by the mother, physical and emotional neglect, physical and psychological maltreatment suffered by the child) in a sample of 189 children aged between 6 and 17 years exposed to IPV, who had been referred for psychological treatment. The results confirm that both exposure to physical abuse to the mother and direct emotional abuse experienced by children had a greater association with internalizing and externalizing problems in children exposed to IPV receiving psychological attention.…”

This correlational cross-sectional study was designed to investigate whether the intimate partner violence (IPV) suffered by mothers (physical and psychological maltreatment), child eyewitness of psychological and physical maltreatment suffered by the mother, the neglect suffered by children, and the maltreatment (physical and psychological) directly suffered by children are statistically associated to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms exhibited by the child. In addition, the prevalence of child PTSD was estimated, as well as the concordance between the PTSD symptoms assessed by the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for child PTSD. The sample consisted of 152 Spanish children aged 8 to 17 and their mothers, who were recruited from Centers of Specialized Assistance for Women Victims of IPV. PTSD prevalence was 20.4%. The results of a canonical correlation analysis showed that the two types of maltreatment with the largest contribution to the canonical variable were physical maltreatment directly suffered by the child, and child eyewitness of physical maltreatment suffered by the mother. The potential developmental pathway of PTSD when both children and mothers suffer severe maltreatment needs to be examined, and this will contribute to the choice of the most effective type of specialized intervention.
