“…Although PTSD may have been a result of, or exacerbated by the earthquake, it was found significantly more often and more seriously among abused women with a dose response of severity and frequency of IPV.

Maternal PTSD stress levels post-disaster have also been found to not only impact the woman, but her children as well (Self-Brown et al 2014).…”

“…Ainda assim, o presente estudo, em conjunto com os achados da literatura, aponta para o caráter prejudicial de práticas como a punição física e a verbal, tanto em curto prazo, quanto em etapas posteriores do desenvolvimento infantil. Essas práticas podem servir como modelo para a criança sobre como interagir com pares e adultos, contribuindo para o aumento de respostas agressivas (Ribeiro, Andreoli, Ferri, Prince, & Mari, 2009). …”
