“…They found that higher maternal PTSS was associated with greater child internalizing and externalizing problems, and that this relationship was maintained over time. Furthermore, a 5-year follow-up of this same sample found that, within families, changes in maternal PTSS led to changes in children’s internalizing and externalizing behavior problems (Jouriles et al, 2018a).…”

Millions of children witness intimate partner violence (IPV) each year, and the effects of these experiences are substantial. One of the more common sequelae of exposure to IPV is the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). Given the chronic nature of both IPV and PTSS, there is a need for prospective research on long-term mental health outcomes following IPV exposure in childhood. This study prospectively examines trajectories of PTSS over an 8-year period, beginning from the preschool period. This study also investigates factors that may be associated with these trajectories, including intervention participation, continued IPV exposure, and the caregiving environment. A total of 120 mother-child dyads participated in four study waves over an 8-year period, beginning when children were between the ages of 4 and 6. Mothers and children participated in an intervention between baseline and Time 2. At the onset of the study, all mothers reported

“…IPV has been linked with a wide array of both physical and mental health effects such as depression, suicidality, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), miscarriages, injuries, and, in severe cases, death (Devries et al, 2013; Mahenge et al, 2013; Mapayi et al, 2013; Stockl et al, 2013). Not only women get affected by IPV, their children and family’s economic wellbeing suffer as well (Adams et al, 2012; Jouriles et al, 2018; Neamah et al, 2018).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious global health problem affecting millions of women worldwide. Despite increased investments into its reduction, little research has been conducted into how women in low- and middle-income countries deal with IPV. This study seeks to explore this by looking in depth into help-seeking strategies utilized by abused women in Tanzania, using the 2015–2016 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey. The prevalence of lifetime physical and/or sexual IPV was 41.6% in this study, but only half of all affected women sought help from anyone. The only clear association found with help-seeking was the severity of IPV.

“…; Saltzman, Fanslow, McMahon, & Shelley, 2002). Decades of research have clearly established the association between IPV exposure and maladaptive child outcomes, including externalizing (e.g., disruptive and aggressive behaviors; Fantuzzo, Boruch, Beriama, Atkins, & Marcus, 1997; Glass, Kohli, Surkan, Remy, & Perrin, 2018) and internalizing symptoms (e.g., depression and anxiety; Grych, Jouriles, Swank, McDonald, & Norwood, 2000; Jouriles et al, 2018), as well as posttraumatic stress symptoms (Bogat, DeJonghe, Levendosky, Davidson, & von Eye, 2006) and dissociative symptoms (Stride, Geffner, & Lincoln, 2008). Furthermore, some studies suggest 40% to 60% of school-aged children that have witnessed IPV display clinically diagnosable levels of emotional and/or behavioral problems (Graham-Bermann, Gruber, Howell, & Girz, 2009; Grych, Fincham, et al, 2000).…”

Children's appraisals of interparental violence, including appraisals of high threat and low coping efficacy, are robust predictors of behavioral and emotional problems. However, few studies have examined the factors that account for children's use of these maladaptive appraisals, particularly among children exposed to more severe forms of interparental conflict. The current study examines parent-child relationship quality as a mediator of the effect of intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure on children's appraisals of conflict. Participants were 118 mother-child dyads (54 girls and 64 boys), recruited from three Midwestern counties. Consistent with previous reports, child exposure to IPV, as reported by children's mothers, predicted higher threat and lower coping efficacy appraisals. In addition, mediation analyses showed child reports of parent-child relationship quality mediated the association between IPV and coping efficacy, but not the effects of IPV on threat appraisals. The role of parent-child relationships in shaping cognitive appraisals in the context of IPV exposure can have implications for prevention and intervention efforts as well as public policy.

Mothers’ posttraumatic stress and child adjustment problems in families seeking services for intimate partner violence.

Abstract: Addressing women's trauma symptoms at the point of seeking services for IPV has possible implications for child mental health. Attempting to reduce mothers' PTSSs may have positive effects for women as well as their children. (PsycINFO Database Record
