Examining resilience among child protection professionals during COVID-19: A global comparison across 57 countries
CONCLUSIONS: This study emphasized the importance of experience and internal resilience for CPPs' psychological well-being. It also provides empirical evidence to support the MSMR theory on a global scale. Additionally, it demonstrates how the perceived changes in child maltreatment during COVID-19 may be associated with regional HDI. Lastly, the opportunities CPPs had to engage in resilient behavior and how much this helped them was associated with regional HDI, but not in the way originally predicted. Study results also hold implications for how practice and policy may be altered to help CPPs cope better during times of ...

Characteristics of child abuse fatalities: Insights from a statewide violent death reporting system
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the capability of multi-source state-level data to enrich our understanding of child abuse fatalities. Employing the narrative review method in other states using the National Violent Death Reporting System may increase the identification of abuse fatalities. Improved recognition and characterization of abuse fatalities has the potential to help address systemic factors involved and enhance targeted prevention efforts.WHAT IS KNOWN: Child abuse fatalities represent a significant and preventable public health issue in the United States. Case-specific characteristics are limited in nationa...

The continuation of non-physical abuse from childhood to adulthood in eating disorder patients: An interpretative phenomenological analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The participants' accounts indicate that childhood non-physical abuse is related to eating disorder onset, and abuse continuation in adulthood contributes to the disorder's maintenance. Moreover, the lifelong consequences of non-physical childhood abuse impact psychological factors, such as self-esteem, attachment and emotion regulation, affecting the individuals' adult lives and keeping participants inside a vicious cycle of trauma re-enactment. Low self-esteem is considered by the participants as the key factor for their disturbed relationship with food.PMID:38295605 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106661 (Sourc...

Abusive head trauma: The body of the iceberg - A population-based survey on prevalence and perpetrators
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that despite better knowledge on the dangers of shaking, the percentage of women that shake infants might be higher than previously thought. Also, intimate partner violence and ACEs are key risk factor for shaking and harmful parenting behaviors in general. This has important implications for future prevention programs.PMID:38295606 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106660 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Predictors of non-offending caregiver support in cases of child sexual abuse
CONCLUSION: Our findings reveal the importance of the key case factors that are predictive of NOC support. This is the first study to examine these many case factors in relation to these four dimensions of support. Knowledge of these predictors can play an important role in better understanding the complexity of NOC support predictors and facilitating interventions designed to enhance such support.PMID:38281406 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106650 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Impact of paternal psychiatric disorders on parents-baby separation after mother-baby unit care
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows the major impact of a paternal psychiatric disorder in the outcome of a joint hospitalization. A paternal mental illness should be systematically looked for in case of a severe maternal postpartum psychiatric episode, considering it is predictive of parenthood difficulties.PMID:38277874 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106652 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Positive childhood experiences serve as protective factors for mental health in pandemic-era youth with adverse childhood experiences

The longitudinal relationship between childhood trauma and adolescents' externalizing problems: A moderated mediation model
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that childhood trauma might impair adolescents' attentional control and then increase their externalizing problems. The influence of childhood trauma on attentional control is more serious among adolescents with lower SPS levels. Therefore, decreasing and preventing childhood trauma and building a warm nurturing environment might be beneficial to improving adolescents' attentional control ability and then reduce their externalizing problems.PMID:38266582 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106646 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)
