“…Thus, the use of CP in Colombia is higher than that in developed (Sweden, USA) and developing countries (Thailand, Mongolia, Gambia) as well as those with economies in transition (Montenegro) (Lansford and Deater-Deckard, 2012). This result is higher than that reported from countries where CP is prohibited by law (Ukraine, Sweden, Finland) (Ellonen et al, 2017;Grogan-Kaylor et al, 2018). This high prevalence could be explained by the country's armed conflict or violent culture (Ember and Ember, 2005) that normalises negative interactions, such as the use of CP, as a disciplinary practice.…”

“…In Ukraine, which implemented its prohibition in 2004, reports on prevalence are still inconsistent; some studies report a decrease (32%) (Lansford et al, 2017), whereas others report a prevalence rate of up to 70 per cent (Grogan-Kaylor et al, 2018). This discrepancy might be related to the particular socio-political situation in Ukraine, which has experienced political conflicts and normalised practices of violence against children (Grogan-Kaylor et al, 2018). In Latin America, various countries have also prohibited the use of CP; however, the prohibition is very recent, with most countries having implemented the regulation in 2014.…”

“…A study of Yemeni mothers reported that harsh CP is used more in rural households (58%) than in urban households (23%), involving actions such as hitting with a belt, a stick or other objects (Alyahri and Goodman, 2008). In Ukraine, 44 per cent of parents reported hitting their children with an object, but not frequently (Grogan-Kaylor et al, 2018). In the USA, Font and Cage (2018) found that 21 per cent of parents reported inflicting harsh CP against their children.…”

Prevalence, Severity and Chronicity of Corporal Punishment in Colombian Families

et al. 2020

Colombia is one of the countries where corporal punishment (CP) is not yet banned. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of CP in Colombia with respect to prevalence, severity and chronicity. We used the Spanish version of the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale to assess 853 parental reports on the use of CP against their children in the four major cities of the country: Barranquilla, Bogotá, Medellin and Cali. Analyses of variances and logistic regressions were performed. Socio-demographic variables that are predictors of the use of CP are parental age, the number of children in the household and age of the children. The results indicated a high rate of prevalence (77%) but low levels of severity and chronicity, as reported by Colombian parents. Our findings suggest that CP is a normalised practice, which might be linked to direct or indirect exposure to the long-lasting armed conflict (more than 50 years) that the country endured. Recommendations for social policies are presented, particularly the design and implementation of locally relevant interventions for the prevention of this practice.

“…To date, some studies have examined the relationship between maternal sociodemographic factors and the use of spanking. Results indicate that parental education, employment, income adequacy, single parent status, ethnicity, and residence in an urban versus rural community are associated with use of spanking [12–17]. However, there have been inconsistencies in these findings, with some studies failing to find an association between sociodemographic factors like parental education, income, and marital status and the likelihood of spanking [12, 18, 19].…”

Examining the relationships between parent experiences and youth self-reports of slapping/spanking: a population-based cross-sectional study

et al. 2019

BackgroundSlapping/spanking is related to a number of poor health outcomes. Understanding what factors are related to the increased or decreased use of spanking/slapping is necessary to inform prevention. This study used a population-based sample to determine the prevalence of slapping/spanking reported by youth; the relationship between sociodemographic factors and slapping/spanking; and the extent to which parental exposures to victimization and maltreatment in childhood and current parental mental health, substance use and family circumstances, are associated with youth reports of slapping/spanking.MethodsData were from the 2014 Ontario Child Health Study, a provincially representative sample of households with children and youth aged 4–17 years. Self-reported lifetime slapping/spanking prevalence was determined using a sub-sample of youth aged 14–17 years (n = 1883). Parents/primary caregivers (i.e., person most knowledgeable (PMK) of the youth) self-reported their own childhood experiences including bullying victimization, slapping/spanking and child maltreatment, and current mental health, substance use and family circumstances including mental health functioning and emotional well-being, alcohol use, smoking, marital conflict and family functioning. Analyses were conducted in 2018.ResultsLiving in urban compared to rural residence and family poverty were associated with decreased odds of slapping/spanking. PMK childhood experiences of physical and verbal bullying victimization, spanking, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and exposure to physical intimate partner violence were associated with increased odds of youth reported slapping/spanking (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] ranged from 1.33–1.77). PMK experiences of physical abuse and exposure to emotional/verbal intimate partner violence in childhood was associated with decreased odds of youth reported slapping/spanking (AOR = 0.72 and 0.88, respectively). PMK’s higher levels of marital conflict, languishing to moderate mental health functioning and emotional well-being, and moderate or greater alcohol use were associated with increased odds of youth reported slapping/spanking (AOR ranged from 1.36–1.61).ConclusionsIt may be important to consider parent/primary caregiver’s childhood experiences with victimization and maltreatment along with their current parental mental health, substance use and family circumstances when developing and testing strategies to prevent slapping/spanking.

“…The conditions for the use of traditional methods of education should be reviewed in order to meet the new social conditions. Spirituality is the main feature of upbringing, the teacher creates the atmosphere when a person behaves morally not because of the fear to be punished, but because of his convictions (Grogan- Kaylor, Burlaka et al, 2018). An idealistic Christian approach in organizing the upbringing of young people involves expanding the spiritual world and deep penetration into the content of moral values, intense awareness of value orientations.…”
