Parental stress and physical violence against children during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic: results of a population-based survey in Germany

Abstract: Background Parents and caregivers belonged to those with the highest burdens during the COVID-pandemic. Considering the close link between parental stress and child maltreatment, identifying families with high parental stress is of utmost importance to prevent violence against children. Within this study, we thus aimed to investigate the interplay of parental stress, changes in parental stress, and physical violence against children during the second year of the COVID-pandemic on an exploratory… Show more

“…While we cannot generalize from the above case studies in regard to climate related mobility, scholarship has largely established that parents who are generally under extreme pressure are also more likely to perpetrate violence on their children (e.g. : Geprägs et al, 2023;Whipple & Webster-Stratton, 1991). Also, research on non-climate related refugee settlements and camps highlights an increase in parental VAC due to PTSD (Hecker et al, 2022).…”

“…Email: olivier.fortin2@mail.mcgill.ca Children and young people with cerebral palsy (CP) have higher urgent care use than their peers in the general population, 1,2 which is further increased in patients with lower socioeconomic status (SES) and higher care complexity. Paget et al 3 document an inverse association between continuity of care and urgent care use. In other groups of children with complex care needs, improved care coordination was associated with reduced use of urgent care and health services.…”

“…Amidst this alarming figure, children with disabilities were significantly more likely to face various types of abuse, being 3.76 times more susceptible to neglect, 3.79 times more prone to physical abuse, and 3.14 times more likely to endure sexual abuse 2 . The ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic has further exacerbated this dire situation, as underscored by Geprägs et al 3 It is crucial to acknowledge that caregiving is a skill set not necessarily inherent to caregivers, especially parents. Nevertheless, these skills are pivotal for the welfare of families and the holistic development of their dependents, whether they have neurodevelopmental challenges or not.…”

“…There can be a generational pattern of adverse experiences, neglect, and deprivation in that parents with high ACE scores are more likely to engage in child neglect, verbal abuse, and reduced feeding frequency, especially during periods of unpredictability and stress such as the COVID-19 pandemic ( Narayan et al, 2021 ; Rowell and Neal-Barnett, 2022 ; Arowolo et al, 2023 ). In an observational study conducted in Germany, increases in paternal stress during the pandemic and parental experience of their own childhood maltreatment were associated with the use of violence against their children ( Geprägs et al, 2023 ). Among high school students in the United States, after adjusting for demographic characteristics, adolescents who reported experiencing four or more ACEs during the pandemic were four times as likely to report poor mental health within the past month and they were 25 times more likely to attempt suicide compared to students who did not report any ACEs ( Anderson et al, 2022 ).…”
