Djeca iza zatvorenih vrata COVID-19 izolacije: zlostavljanje, zanemarivanje i nasilje u obitelji

Abstract: Abuse and neglect of children is a public health issue at a global, European, and Croatian level, with significant rates of morbidity and mortality. Actual circumstances of a health crisis generate and aggravate a series of risk factors for child abuse and neglect at the level of the child and parent characteristics, family dynamics and the wider social environment. Isolation and quarantine possibly leading to social exclusion, represent a serious risk for child abuse and neglect, possibly also being the reaso… Show more

“…Besides looking at the risks and consequences for the mental health of children and adolescents arising from the pandemic and the measures imposed to control it [8], a criminological approach, in which the restrictive emergency measures adopted to slow the spread of the virus take into account the risk of family violence, is also essential. Social distancing, school and business closures, lockdown measures, and travel restrictions may reduce the transmission of the infectious disease, but they may also increase the risk of violence against children and youth around the world [9]. For violence researchers, the measures taken in response to COVID-19 present an extraordinary opportunity to advance our understanding of the social, psychological, economic and situational mechanisms that influence rates of violence [10].…”

“…Much has been written, in both popular and academic press, about the heightened risk of child abuse and neglect during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Boserup, McKenney, & Elkbuli, 2020 ; Bryant, Oo, & Damian, 2020 ; Campbell, 2020 ; Griffith, 2020 ; Jonson-Reid, Drake, Cobetto, & Ocampo, 2020 ; Latsch, Eberitzsch, & Ofelia Brink, 2020 ; Leslie & Wilson, 2020 ; Posick, Schueths, Christian, Grubb, & Christian, 2020 ; Roca, Melgar, Gairal-Casadó, & Pulido-Rodríguez, 2020 ; Roje Đapić, Buljan Flander, & Prijatelj, 2020 ; Stewart, 2020 ; Teo & Griffiths, 2020 ; Usher, Bhullar, Durkin, Gyamfi, & Jackson, 2020 ; Woodall, 2020 ; World Health Organization, 2020 ). Although the impact of the pandemic on child maltreatment is not yet clear, there is substantial reason to be concerned about rising rates and severity of abuse and neglect.…”

“…Additionally, by examining family satisfaction through the communication aspect, results of the previous studies indicate the existence of differences in the youth and their parents' perception where the parents express higher satisfaction with communication in the family than their children (Baxter & Pederson, 2013;Ljubetić, Reić Ercegovac & Mandarić Vukušić, 2020). We deem the presented information, which indicates that both the youth and their parents are generally satisfied with family life, to be positive, especially in the context of the fact that our study was conducted during the period of COVID 19 epidemic during which certain studies warned about the presence of certain unwanted family relationships such as difficulties in maintaining family connections and support, inadequate communication patterns, coping with stress as well as increased risk of violence and family abuse (Roje Đapić, Buljan Flander & Prijatelj, 2020).…”
