“…We found that high levels of psychological distress of parents, DV, change in children's lives, particularly longer screen time (i.e., 6 h or more per day), and non-essential going out of parents were associated with the increased the risks of abusive behavior. During the lockdown in the US, DV (also called “intimate partner violence (IPV)”) increased ( Mohler et al, 2020 ) and IPV and depressive symptoms of parents were risk factors for psychological and physical abuse ( Nwabuzor Ogbonnaya et al, 2019 ). Another online survey in the US used a validated scale, the Conflict Tactic Scale Parent-Child version, to measure child maltreatment ( Lawson et al, 2020 ).…”

Background The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the lives of children and parents, raising concerns about child maltreatment. Objective We examined the prevalence of abusive parenting behavior during the pandemic of the COVID-19 and its relations with physical, psychological, and social factors and positive parenting behavior. Participants and setting An online survey was performed during the COVID-19 state of emergency in Japan. Participants were 5344 parents of children aged 0–17 years. Methods We conducted an anonymous online survey using multiple platforms, including websites of child-related organizations and social networking services (SNS). Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with abusive behavior. Results One-fifth of parents reported abusive behaviors, whereas over 80% of parents reported positive parenting behaviors (e.g., empathizing with a child). Abusive parenting behaviors were associated with longer screen time (6+ hours per day: OR, 1.44; 95%CI, 1.05–1.98), poor maternal mental health (K6 = 13+: OR, 2.23; 95%CI, 1.71–2.89), and the occurrence of domestic violence (OR, 4.54; 95%CI, 3.47–5.95). Positive parenting behaviors, especially showing empathy, were associated with lower risks of abusive behaviors (OR, 0.51: 95%CI, 0.39–0.66). Conclusions Positive parenting behavior is essential to the prevention of child maltreatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Surprisingly, family violence was not associated with mothers' use of abusive parenting strategies and, consequently, not a significant mediator in the association between mothers' histories of childhood abuse and their use of abusive parenting strategies. Previous studies have generally supported the notion that inter-adult violence "spills over" into the parent-child relationship (Grasso et al, 2016;Margolin & Gordis, 2003;Nwabuzor Ogbonnaya et al, 2019). However, a handful of studies have found either no or weak support for spillover theory (Letourneau et al, 2007;Levendosky et al, 2003).…”

“…Not surprisingly, violence between adults in the home has been identified as a robust risk factor for abusive parenting (Jouriles et al, 2008). Researchers have theorized that violence among adults in the home creates conflict and stress that “spills over” into parents’ relationships with their children (Margolin & Gordis, 2003), increasing risk for the use of abusive parenting strategies (Grasso et al, 2016; Nwabuzor Ogbonnaya et al, 2019). Two studies have identified IPV (Adams et al, 2018) and the presence of an adult in the home with “violent tendencies” (Dixon et al, 2005) as mediators in the intergenerational transmission of abusive parenting.…”

Parents who were abused as children are at increased risk for perpetuating maladaptive parenting practices, yet the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. This study prospectively examined maternal distress (a latent variable consisting of depressive symptoms and daily stress) and family violence as potential mediators in the intergenerational transmission of abusive (i.e., psychologically aggressive and physically assaultive) parenting. Participants included ( N = 768) mother-child dyads identified as being at-risk for family violence and maltreatment prior to children’s age four. More maternal childhood abuse was associated with more distress and increased risk for family violence exposure in adulthood. However, only maternal distress mediated the association between mothers’ history of abuse and their use of abusive parenting strategies. This study provides critical information about ecological mechanisms underlying the intergenerational transmission of abusive parenting and suggests the importance of targeting depression and stress management among mothers with abuse histories to curtail the cycle of violence.

“…An impaired maternal-child relationship has been proposed as an explanation for the association between postnatal maternal IPV (and other psychosocial risk factors) exposure and child respiratory illnesses [47, 48]. Maternal exposure to IPV, depression or distress may disrupt a mother’s ability to provide the appropriate care for her child [20, 49, 50]. The infants’ HPA axis could also be impacted postnatally through the mother-child interaction [13, 46].…”

Maternal psychosocial risk factors and lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) during infancy in a South African birth cohort

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between maternal antenatal and/or postnatal psychosocial risk factors (including depression, psychological distress, alcohol abuse and intimate partner violence (IPV) and infant lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in a low- and middle-income-country (LMIC).Study designPregnant women (n = 1137) enrolled in a South African birth cohort study, the Drakenstein Child Health Study (DCHS) were longitudinally assessed for psychosocial risk factors including depression, psychological distress, alcohol abuse and/or intimate partner violence (IPV). Infants were followed from birth until one year of age for the development of LRTI by active surveillance. Two outcomes were evaluated: any LRTI, and severe and/or hospitalised LRTI. Logistic regression was used to identify associations between individual maternal psychosocial risk factors and LRTI outcomes. Analyses stratified by age were also performed to determine which age groups related to infant LRTI were linked with maternal psychosocial risk factors.ResultsThere were 606 LRTI episodes in 369 infants in the first year (crude incidence rate = 0.53 episodes per person-year, 95%CI: 0.50; 0.56); 31% (n = 186) of episodes were severe or hospitalised events. Maternal psychosocial risk factors were associated with LRTI and severe LRTI, particularly postnatal and long-term maternal psychological distress, antenatal maternal alcohol consumption, and postnatal maternal IPV. Age stratified analyses found that antenatal maternal alcohol consumption was associated with early infant LRTI, while antenatal maternal depression was linked with infant severe LRTI between 3 and 6 months of age, and postnatal maternal IPV was associated with early LRTI and severe forms of LRTI.ConclusionThe associations between maternal psychosocial risk factors and infant LRTI highlight the potential value of screening for maternal psychosocial risk factors in clinical settings and developing targeted interventions. Such interventions may not only improve maternal well-being, but also help reduce the burden of infant LRTI in LMIC settings.
