“…In this study, improvements in child maladjustment and maternal sensitive guidance, pre-pandemic, mediated the relationship between the pre-pandemic intervention delivery and child internalizing symptoms during the pandemic ( Behrens et al, 2021 ). To our knowledge, however, few studies have examined the effects of evidence-based parenting interventions in the pandemic context ( Brown et al, 2020 ; Fogarty et al, 2022 ).…”

“…Most studies on parenting interventions to date have used delivery approaches in the clinic or home setting, with limited studies on digital or telehealth approaches pre-pandemic. Evolving research demonstrates that virtually delivered interventions show promising results in attenuating risk for CM during the pandemic ( Fogarty et al, 2022 ; Self- Brown et al, 2020 ). Self- Brown et al (2020) surveyed providers of a widely disseminated evidence-based prevention program targeting child physical abuse and neglect 3 months into the pandemic.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has fostered an environment for increased risk of child maltreatment (CM) as families experience increased psychosocial and financial burdens and spend unprecedented amounts of time together in the home. This narrative review aimed to summarize empirical findings on existing or new pandemic-related risk factors among caregivers. A combination of search terms related to CM and COVID-19 were used to identify articles published within five databases between February 2020 and July 2022. Literature searches produced 113 articles, of which 26 published across 12 countries met inclusion criteria. Four previously well-established risk factors for CM perpetration continued to persist during the pandemic, including stress, parental mental health, financial concerns, and parental substance use. Of note, inconsistent definitions and measures were used to capture these risk factors. Several additional emerging and understudied risk factors were also identified among limited articles, such as food insecurity and parental education. Findings emphasize the ongoing need for evidence-based interventions to address CM risk during the pandemic, including parent training programs. However, consolidated measures and consistent conceptualization of risk factors are needed to advance the study of CM. Going forward, practitioners and researchers should (a) strengthen the identification process for families at greatest risk for CM, and particularly those vulnerable to pandemic-related stressors; and (b) augment delivery of CM prevention strategies and evidence-based programs to fit the pandemic context.

Intimate partner violence refers to any behavior that causes psychological, physical, and sexual harm in a current or prior relationship ( Breiding et al, 2016 ).…”

Children exposed to parental intimate partner violence (IPV) are at high risk in terms of their mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, online interventions are imperative in a crisis situation. Empirical studies indicate a significant relationship between self-esteem and children exposed to parental IPV. This research aimed to develop, and pilot test an online intervention program to enhance the self-esteem of Adolescents exposed to parental IPV. Conklin’s developmental model was used to develop the online program and the Coopersmith Self Esteem Inventory scale, interview, and focus group discussion was used to understand the key issues. The developed Cognitive Self Compassion (CSC) Online Intervention Program that integrates the theories and techniques of social cognitive theory and self-compassion was implemented over 6 weeks at a rate of 60 min per session to the 10 participants. Results of the single-group pilot experiment showed a significant difference in the pre & post-test scores of the participants. The self-esteem of the adolescents exposed to parental IPV was significantly enhanced after undergoing the CSC Online Intervention Program.

“…In addition to portraying the various contexts in which elevated risks occur for children, the study by Fogarty et al (2022) aimed to illuminate the challenges in interventions. Their study explores parents' experiences of participating in a parent-child telehealth intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”
