“…The large sample size allows for control of potential confounders that have been identified by other studies [14,28,39,40]. Even after adjustment for peer influence, family support variables, living arrangements, sociodemographic factors, relationship and academic pressure indices, our results showed consistent associations between physical maltreatment with the prevalence of deviant behaviors such as psychoactive drug use and sex-related risk behaviors after using drugs.…”

“…Heibert-Murphy (2001) found that the presence of intimate partner violence in the lives of nonoffending mothers of sexually abused children reduced their ability to cope effectively with their child's disclosure. Hartley (2002) found higher levels of parental problems in families reporting both intimate partner violence and child maltreatment than those families reporting only child maltreatment.…”

The Impact of Complex Trauma and Depression on Parenting: An Exploration of Mediating Risk and Protective Factors

2003

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The current study examined (a) maternal depression as a mediator between mothers' complex trauma exposure and parenting difficulties and (b) protective factors within a sample of adult survivors of complex child and adult trauma. Participants were a sample of 152 women selected from 174 women interviewed in the third wave of a longitudinal study of a hospital sample of girls. The women in the current study represent a subsample that includes all participants who had given birth to a child. Measures included assessments of women's own trauma history and parenting outcomes. Higher rates of trauma exposure were related to decreased parenting satisfaction, reports of child neglect, use of physical punishment, and a history of protective service reports. These links were partially mediated by the relationship between trauma exposure and increased maternal depression. Exploratory analyses were also conducted to examine protective factors for fewer parenting problems within a further subsample of trauma survivors.

“…As DV increases during pregnancy (Stewart & Cecutti 1993, Jasinski 2004), and children are known to be at greater risk of abuse if their mother is abused, a better understanding of these co‐occurring issues by midwives is mandatory (Olsson et al . 2000, McGuigan & Pratt 2001, Hartley 2002, Jones et al . 2002, Lucas et al .…”

“…However, assessing DV as a child protection issue has been relatively slow in gaining health professional acceptance, even though the international evidence suggests that there is a clear and an irrefutable link between DV and the co‐occurrence of CA (Gayford 1975, Stark & Flitcraft 1985, O’Hara 1995, Edelson 1999, Shipman et al . 1999, McGuigan & Pratt 2001, Hartley 2002, 2004, Jones et al . 2002, Ramsay et al .…”

This study aimed to compare and contrast how midwives working in either hospital or community settings are currently responding to the co-occurrence of domestic and child abuse (CA), their perceived role and willingness to identify abuse, record keeping, reporting of suspected or definite cases of CA and training received. A survey questionnaire was sent to 861 hospital and community midwives throughout Northern Ireland which resulted in 488 midwives completing the questionnaire, leading to a 57% response rate. Comparisons were made using descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation, and the questionnaire was validated using exploratory factor analysis. Community midwives reported receiving more training on domestic and CA. Although a high percent of both hospital and community midwives acknowledged a link between domestic violence (DV) and CA, it was the community midwives who encountered more suspected and definite (P < 0.001) cases of CA. More community midwives reported to be aware of the mechanisms for reporting CA. However, an important finding is that although 12% of community midwives encountered a definite case of CA, only 2% reported the abuse, leaving a 10% gap between reporting and identifying definite cases of CA. Findings suggest that lack of education and training was a problem as only a quarter of hospital-based midwives reported to have received training on DV and 40% on CA. This was significantly less than that received by community midwives, as 57% received training on DV, and 62% on CA. The study suggests that midwives need training on how to interact with abused mothers using non-coercive, supportive and empowering mechanisms. Many women may not spontaneously disclose the issues of child or domestic abuse in their lives, but often respond honestly to a sensitively asked question. This issue is important as only 13% of the sample actually asked a woman a direct question about DV.
