This paper evaluates the effect of intimate partner violence (IPV) on parenting and mitigating factors that could reduce the risk of child maltreatment.
This study aims to evaluate the association of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) with parental stress and the potential protective factors that may mitigate the risk for child maltreatment in the context of violence in the home. The cyclical, multigenerational nature of intimate partner violence (IPV) and its detrimental effect on the health and safety of children has been well documented. As evidenced by deficits in parent-child relationships (eg, disrupted attachment and harsh parenting) and child development (eg, increased medical problems and developmental delays), IPV puts enormous strain on the family unit. Often, child maltreatment and IPV co-occur, with estimates of 18% to 67% of cases. Children and adolescents exposed to IPV are at heightened risk for subsequent teen dating violence and experiencing or perpetrating IPV into adulthood. This cycle then exposes yet another generation to violence and its associated outcomes (eg, depression, substance use, illness, and injury). Despite the negative and intergenerational consequences of IPV on individual and family health, few effective family-level interventions exist. (Published Abstract Provided)
