“…The substantial association between child abuse and psychological distress has also been demonstrated by other studies [20,22,23]. As a result, the research [18, 19,22,[24][25][26] provides evidence of the connections between child maltreatment and mental health as well as between child maltreatment and households impacted by HIV/AIDS. The correlations between parental HIV/AIDS illness or death and psychosocial wellness have not, however, been explored in a single study to test the potential mediating effect of child abuse.…”

“…Table 1 contains details on additional sociodemographic elements. outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, peer issues, stress, risky behavior, conduct issues, and hyperactivity in other contexts [16][17][18][19][20]. Undoubtedly, the presence of HIV/AIDS in a household would have an immediate impact on the health and wellbeing of the children due to the speci c pressures associated with this disease.…”

“…A systematic review on interventions to improve psychosocial wellbeing for children affected by HIV and AIDS demonstrated that parents who took part in social support programs reported less maltreatment than parents who did not participate in any such program[17]. Social support boosts self-esteem and increases problem solving skills[18,19]. Third, prospective interventions should challenge social and cultural norms on harsh child discipline and negotiate for change.…”

Background The relationship between parental HIV/AIDS status or death and child mental health is well known, although the role of child maltreatment as a confounder or mediator in this relationship remains uncertain. This study examined the potential path mechanism through child maltreatment mediating the link between HIV/AIDS family dysfunction trajectories and psychosocial wellbeing. Method A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the Lower Manya Municipal Assembly of Ghana. A questionnaire which consisted of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Social and Health Assessment (SAHA), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS) was completed by 291 adolescents. Results Controlling for relevant sociodemographic confounders, mediation analyses using linear regression were fitted to examine whether the association between family dysfunction and psychosocial wellbeing is mediated by child maltreatment. The results indicate that, among adolescents, child maltreatment fully mediated the association between being orphaned by AIDS and self-esteem (b = .59 [95%CI .32, .91], delinquency and risky behaviours (b = .56 [95%CI .31, .86] and peer problems (b = .74 [95%CI .48, 1.03]. Similarly, child maltreatment fully mediated the association between living with an HIV/AIDS-infected parent and self-esteem (b = .78 [95%CI .43, 1.23], delinquency and risky behaviours (b = .76 [95%CI .45, 1.11], depression/emotional problems (b = .64 [95%CI .40, .92] and peer problems (b = .94 [95%CI .66, 1.26]. Partial mediation was found for hyperactivity. Conclusion Child maltreatment mediates the association between the family dysfunction trajectories of parental HIV/AIDS or death and psychosocial wellbeing among adolescents. This implies that efforts to address child maltreatment among families affected by HIV/AIDS may be helpful in the prevention of psychological distress among these children, thus enhancing their wellbeing. The findings therefore underscore the need for comprehensive psychosocial interventions that addresses both the unique negative exposures of HIV/AIDS and maltreatment for children affected by HIV.

“…There is an increasing need for more vigorous and concerted efforts from public and private sector practitioners and policymakers to expand social protection safety nets for the orphans, which relate to community-based social support (Kalomo et al, 2022). Community-based social support interventions focus on changing physical activity behaviour through building, strengthening, and maintaining social networks that provide supportive relationships for behaviour change.…”

There are increase number of orphanages in Malaysia either under government or private institution. However, there has been lack of attention on community-based social support given to orphans throughout the years. It is important to recognize the importance roles of nations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to orphans especially who stay at orphanages. Therefore, this study aims to focus on developing the "KAMICAKNA" module according to community-based social support for orphans. The past literatures showed that "KAMICAKNA" module should comprise of (i) family support, (ii) welfare support, (iii) psychological support, (iv) motivation support and (v) NGO support. This module can be useful for government agencies and policymakers to support the Malaysian government's aims to ensure the well-being of children as the nation builders of the future. Besides, this module will assist to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 10 in reducing inequalities within a country.

“…Children orphaned by AIDS and those living with HIV/AIDS-positive parents have been found to have significantly higher rates of depression, conduct issues, criminality, and low social support in Ghana [13][14][15]. Children from households affected by HIV/AIDS were also reported to be more likely to experience negative mental health outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, peer issues, stress, risky behavior, conduct issues, and hyperactivity in other contexts [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Undoubtedly, the presence of HIV/AIDS in a household would have an immediate impact on the health and wellbeing of the children due to the specific pressures associated with this disease.…”
