“…Studies should utilize a standardized child self-report measure such as the Child Exposure to Domestic Violence Scale (CEDV; Edleson et al, 2008). The CEDV is a measure that has been shown to be valid and reliable (Ravi & Tonui, 2019). Using child self-report measures ensures accurate assessment of exposure to IPV since prior research demonstrates there are differences in maternal and child self-reports of exposure to IPV (Kolko et al, 1996).…”

Children’s exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) is an adverse childhood experience that often results in academic, behavior, and mental health difficulties. This study reviewed the empirical studies examining the relationship between children’s exposure to IPV and an emotional–behavioral disability (EBD). Studies were included in the review if they examined the relationship between exposure to IPV and EBD among children under 18. This research identified three empirical studies that analyzed the relationship between exposure to IPV and EBD. The review demonstrated that few studies had been conducted that explored the relationship between children’s exposure to IPV and EBD and that most of the extant studies are dated. Findings from this review showed that children exposed to IPV were more likely to have EBD compared to other disabilities such as a learning disability, hearing disability, speech and language disability, and an intellectual disability. Higher frequency of violence exposure was associated with EBD. Practice implications include assessing children’s functioning at school and discussing with families or caregivers the option of requesting an evaluation for EBD for children with severe emotional or behavioral difficulties. Special education evaluators assessing children for EBD should consider screening for children’s exposure to IPV and providing resources for IPV. Future research should conceptualize the full range of IPV experiences and collect exposure data from children directly using a validated measure.

“…Many of the suggestions made by the participants are interconnected or could be integrated into one group Though a greater proportionately of participants recalled CDV who were eligible to participate, the relatively low response rate may have been due to speci c eligibility criteria of having experienced CDV, which previous research demonstrates can be as low as 6.6% among college students (Wilcox et al, 2010). Third, since there is not a known validated CDV scale for young adults, the CDV items we used were adapted from a valid and reliable (Edleson et al, 2008;Ravi & Tonui, 2020). Additionally, though this study was framed as a survey speci c to CDV, participants were asked about their general (versus CDV-speci c) help-seeking experiences, potentially impacting their responses (utilization and perceived supportiveness).…”

“…We were also interested in potential variations in CDV exposure context, help-seeking, and resource use based on ndings from a few studies documenting an association between greater ACEs and help-seeking (Karatekin, 2019) and a qualitative pattern whereby college students recalling more severe, frequent, and coercive controlling violence exposure engaging in more help-seeking before college (Kahovec & Haselschwerdt, 2023). Yet, the students with greater CDV exposure or ACES reported less helpful or positive experiences upon seeking help when compared to those with fewer ACEs (Howell et Since there is no validated measure for adult CDV exposure, items were adapted from a children's exposure to domestic violence scale, which has been shown to be valid and reliable (Edleson et al, 2008;Ravi & Tonui, 2020). We adapted the CEDV to include other individuals as victims and perpetrators, such as mothers, stepparents, grandparents, and other individuals living in the home since some children have stepparents or grandparents serving in a parental role.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the campus resource utilization experiences of university students with childhood domestic violence exposure (CDV) histories. Participants: 368 students attending a public, 4-year university in the Southeastern United States. Methods: Participants completed a web-based survey with variables including CDV, campus resource utilization and perceptions of said resources, and participant resource suggestions. Results: Most students utilized at least one health-related campus resource, with the student health and counseling centers as the most common and helpful. Suggested areas for institutional and service provider growth include enhanced advertisement and accessibility for existing resources and added support groups. Conclusions: College campuses provide unique opportunities to support young adults with CDV histories. Tailoring programming to students with CDV histories has the potential to improve student's success in and beyond college.

“…Pois, embora, por comparação a outras formas de violência, as marcas não sejam, num primeiro momento, tão visíveis, são cada vez mais os estudos a darem conta da existência de similitudes traumáticas entre as crianças que experienciaram a exposição e as diretamente vitimadas. Daí a importância do salientar deste outro lado da violência interparental, tantas vezes esquecido, pois, tal como nos dizem, entre muitos outros, Sani (2002a), Sani et al (2013), Artz et al (2014), Rodrigues (2017), Paulino (2019), Ravi et al (2020), Yaseen et al (2020), a criança não necessita de experienciar violência direta para ser afetada. O "testemunho" ou, de modo mais adequado, a experienciação multiforme (ver, ouvir, tomar conhecimento, iv De acordo com Lawson (2019), são cada vez mais os serviços de proteção à criança a considerarem a mera exposição como uma forma de maltrato.…”

A exposição das crianças aos diversos tipos de violência no meio familiar, traz consequências nefastas para o seu desenvolvimento. É fulcral analisar as consequências da violência interparental nas crianças que lhe são expostas. Constata-se a existência de alguns estudos sobre esta problemática. O objetivo deste estudo, num primeiro momento, consiste em analisar as histórias de vida de adolescentes expostos à violência interparental, bem como as características da violência interparental a que foram expostos, mais especificamente os intervenientes, o contexto, os tipos e a frequência da mesma. Num segundo momento, pretende-se analisar as reações destes adolescentes a esta violência, como as emocionais, comportamentais, atribuições de culpa, estratégias de coping, consequências e perspetiva futura. Optámos pela metodologia qualitativa, pelo estudo de caso, com múltiplos casos (três), sendo o instrumento de avaliação utilizado a entrevista semiestruturada. A amostra é não probabilística e de conveniência, constituída por três adolescentes com idades compreendidas entre os 13 e os 15 anos, expostos à violência interparental, entre os seus pais. No presente estudo as vítimas diretas são mulheres, parecendo existir uma tendência para os adolescentes intervirem nas agressões, no sentido de defenderem a progenitora. O espaço onde os ataques ocorrem é o doméstico e apresentam um carácter contínuo. Constatamos que os adolescentes expostos à violência interparental entre os seus pais saem profundamente afetados a nível psicológico, mas também a outros níveis, como o social ou o escolar. Evidenciam um impacto negativo, muito semelhante aos das crianças diretamente vitimadas, como podemos constatar não só pelas consequências emocionais e comportamentais, mas também pelos medos, insegurança, ansiedade, autorresponsabilização e estratégias de coping utilizadas. The exposure of children to different types of violence in the family environment has harmful consequences for their development. It is essential to analyze the consequences of interparental violence on children who are exposed to it. The objective of this study, initially, is to analyze the life stories of adolescents exposed to interparental violence, as well as the characteristics of the domestic violence to which they were exposed, more specifically, the participants, the context, types, and their frequency. Secondly, we intend to analyze the reactions of these adolescents to this violence, such as emotional, behavioral, attribution of blame, coping strategies, consequences, and future perspectives. We opted for the qualitative methodology, the case study, with multiple cases (three), using the semi-structured interview as the evaluation instrument. The sample is non-probabilistic and by convenience, consisting of three adolescents aged between 13 and 15 exposed to domestic violence between their parents. In the present study, the direct victims are women, and there appears to be a tendency for adolescents to intervene in attacks to defend their mothers. The space where the attacks occur is domestic, and the violence is continuous over time. We found that adolescents exposed to domestic violence between their parents are deeply affected on a psychological level but also other levels, such as social or academic. They show a negative impact, very similar to that of directly victimized children, as we can see not only through the emotional and behavioral consequences but also through the fears, insecurity, anxiety, self-responsibility, and coping strategies used.
