This book was released on 2013 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About one in four women in the United States reports IPV at some point in their lifetime, with 1400 women in the United States dying annually as a result of IPV. While many studies have shown the negative impact of IPV on maternal health and wellbeing, not much is known about how maternal IPV impacts infants and toddlers under the age of two, specifically their neurological and language development. The present study examines the association between IPV scores of pregnant women participating in the Domestic Violence Enhanced Home Visitation Program (DOVE) and neurological and language development of infants and toddlers between the ages of 3--24 months. A total of 214 infants and toddlers born to women with mild, moderate and severe IPV were included in the analysis. IPV was determined by the Conflicts Tactics Scale-2 (CTS-2). Neurological and language development were measured with the Bayley Infant Neurodevelopmental Screener (BINS) and the Preschool Language Scale (PLS) respectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the bivariate association between maternal IPV and infants and toddlers' neurological and language development and between other independent variables and neurological and language development. Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) models with logit link was used in the multivariate analyses to predict the risk neurological and language delay among infants and toddlers as a result of maternal IPV. Infants and toddlers born to women with moderate levels of IPV were 5 times more likely to experience language delay compared to infants and toddlers of women that experienced mild violence (OR=5.31, 95%CI=2.94--9.50, p-value=0.000) after adjusting for potential confounders. Mother's age, partner support, stress and child's gender were associated with language delay. Infants and toddlers born to women that experienced moderate and severe IPV were 5 times and almost 3 times more likely to experience neurological delay respectively, compared to infants and toddlers of women that experienced mild IPV (OR= 5.42, 95% CI= 2.99--9.82, p=0.000 & OR= 2.57, 95% CI= 1.11--5.61, p=0.026). -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study is to evaluate how childhood trauma, specifically Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), can impact the brain development of children ages 0-5. This impact may affect a person for the rest of their lives. This study looks at how IPV and trauma disrupt and change developing minds by looking at, hormone and stress levels as well as, attachment and behavioral problems. Along with correlations between exposure to IPV and the future development of mental illness as well as problematic child behavior. Due to the sensitivity of the population, secondary data from books, journals, and articles were used to create an overall literature review. The overall findings through this review found correlations that witnessing IPV in infancy to early childhood can have a permanent effect on brain development, mental health, behavior, and attachment. Thus, supporting the hypothesis that IPV influences brain development of children ages 0-5 and correlates with future diagnoses of mental health, attachment, and behavioral disorders.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate partner violence (IPV), once considered a private issue, has become a social and legal concern. IPV is the establishment of power and control within an intimate relationship through a pattern of coercive behaviors that includes physical, sexual, verbal, and emotional abuse. Whereas the national awareness of the impact of IPV on women has grown in recent years, recognition of the effects of exposure to such violence on preschool children has lagged behind. Although the exact number is unknown, estimates suggest between 3.3 million to 18 million children witness IPV in the U.S. annually (Carlson, 1984; Jaffe, Wolfe, & Wilson, 1990; McDonald, Jouriles, Ramisetty-Mikler, Caetano, & Green, 2006; Spaccarelli, Sandler, & Rosa, 1994; Straus, 1992). The immediate effects on children can include fear, distress, anger, depression, and deficits in social skills. The results of the present study found that preschool children are impacted by exposure to IPV. Preschool children exposed to domestic violence display externalizing and internalizing behaviors, deficits in regulating their emotions, and cognitive deficits (Huth-Bocks et al., 2001; Jouriles et al., 2008; Litrownik et al., 2003; Ybarra et al., 2007). Preschool children can also develop posttraumatic symptoms in respond to the violence witnessed in the home (Levendosky et al., 2002; Levendosky et al., 2003; Zerk et al., 2009). The results of the present study also indicate that the younger the age of first exposure to IPV, the greater the problems in adjustment. Some of the problems exhibited are aggression and anxiety/depression. In addition, preschool children are impacted by how the mother responds to IPV. Parenting appears to be compromised when mothers are experiencing depression and PTSD symptoms. Therefore, the clinical implication for this research is early intervention to screen for the presence of exposure to IPV and to develop services to children who have been exposed to IPV.

Download or read book Responding to Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence Against Women written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2013 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A health-care provider is likely to be the first professional contact for survivors of intimate partner violence or sexual assault. Evidence suggests that women who have been subjected to violence seek health care more often than non-abused women, even if they do not disclose the associated violence. They also identify health-care providers as the professionals they would most trust with disclosure of abuse. These guidelines are an unprecedented effort to equip healthcare providers with evidence-based guidance as to how to respond to intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women. They also provide advice for policy makers, encouraging better coordination and funding of services, and greater attention to responding to sexual violence and partner violence within training programmes for health care providers. The guidelines are based on systematic reviews of the evidence, and cover: 1. identification and clinical care for intimate partner violence 2. clinical care for sexual assault 3. training relating to intimate partner violence and sexual assault against women 4. policy and programmatic approaches to delivering services 5. mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence. The guidelines aim to raise awareness of violence against women among health-care providers and policy-makers, so that they better understand the need for an appropriate health-sector response. They provide standards that can form the basis for national guidelines, and for integrating these issues into health-care provider education.

This book was released on 2019-12-27 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are the foundation of the United States, and supporting them is a key component of building a successful future. However, millions of children face health inequities that compromise their development, well-being, and long-term outcomes, despite substantial scientific evidence about how those adversities contribute to poor health. Advancements in neurobiological and socio-behavioral science show that critical biological systems develop in the prenatal through early childhood periods, and neurobiological development is extremely responsive to environmental influences during these stages. Consequently, social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors significantly affect a child's health ecosystem and ability to thrive throughout adulthood. Vibrant and Healthy Kids: Aligning Science, Practice, and Policy to Advance Health Equity builds upon and updates research from Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity (2017) and From Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development (2000). This report provides a brief overview of stressors that affect childhood development and health, a framework for applying current brain and development science to the real world, a roadmap for implementing tailored interventions, and recommendations about improving systems to better align with our understanding of the significant impact of health equity.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
Download or read book Relationships Between Intimate Partner Violence Pregnancy Maternal Mental Health and Infant Care Behaviors written by Brooke Ambrose and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Background: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a public health issue that is known to have deleterious health effects for pregnant women and their babies. Women who experience IPV during pregnancy are also likely to develop and exacerbate already existing mental health conditions. Experiences with IPV are thought to impact health behaviors, particularly how a mother copes or cares for her baby. The objective of this study is to explore the potential relationships between experiencing IPV (before and/or during pregnancy), maternal mental health, and health-related infant care behaviors (i.e., breastfeeding initiation, breastfeeding duration, well-child visits). Methods: Data from phases 6 (years 2009-2011), 7 (2012-2015), and 8 (2016-2018) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) were used to explore maternal experiences of IPV, mental health, and infant care behaviors. Participants included in the study responded to questions regarding experiences of IPV either before or during pregnancy. Statistical procedures used included descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and survival analysis. Results: Among the 20,363 participants who responded to IPV-related questions, 15% reported experiencing IPV before pregnancy, 20% during pregnancy, and 21% either before or during pregnancy. Most participants (85%) initiated breastfeeding, were still breastfeeding at the time of the survey (56%) and sought well-child checks (97%). On average, participants had healthful indicators for experiencing depression (mean=3.96) and lack of interest (mean=3.92). Experiencing IPV before pregnancy is highly correlated with experiencing IPV during pregnancy; of those who experienced IPV before, 90.3% experienced IPV during pregnancy. Compared to those who did not experience IPV, and controlling for relevant demographic variables, experiencing IPV was significantly associated with breastfeeding initiation (OR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.19-1.61). While experiencing IPV was significantly associated with breastfeeding duration in bivariate analysis, the relationship did not remain significant when controlling for relevant demographic variables. Similarly, experiencing IPV was significantly associated with seeking well-child check in bivariate analysis, but that significance did not remain when relevant demographic variables were added to the model. Maternal mental health was not found to mediate any of the explored relationships between experiencing IPV and infant care behaviors. Discussion: Results of this study support recommendations to perform routine screening for IPV in all women of reproductive age and highlight the importance of asking pregnant women about their history of experiencing IPV. Efforts to increase breastfeeding initiation should consider a mother’s experience with IPV and her marital status, as both could have implications on breastfeeding outcomes."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

Book excerpt: [All orders originating from Japan must order through Maruzen International Co., Ltd.: TEL: +81-3-3275-8582; FAX: +81-3-3275-9072; http://www.maruzen.co.jp] NEW! CD-ROM, Handbook of Parenting, Second Edition, Volumes 1-5-$150.00 (see below) Completely revised and expanded from four to five volumes, this new edition of the Handbook of Parenting appears at a time that is momentous in the history of parenting. Parenting and the family are today in a greater state of flux, question, and redefinition than perhaps ever before. We are witnessing the emergence of striking permutations on the theme of parenting: blended families, lesbian and gay parents, and teen versus fifties first-time moms and dads. One cannot but be awed on the biological front by technology that now not only renders postmenopausal women capable of childbearing, but also presents us with the possibility of designing babies. Similarly on the sociological front, single parenthood is a modern day fact of life, adult child dependency is on the rise, and parents are ever less certain of their own roles, even in the face of rising environmental and institutional demands that they take increasing responsibility for their offspring. The Handbook of Parenting concerns itself with: *different types of parents--mothers and fathers, single, adolescent, and adoptive parents; *basic characteristics of parenting--behaviors, knowledge, beliefs, and expectations about parenting; *forces that shape parenting--evolution, genetics, biology, employment, social class, culture, environment, and history; *problems faced by parents--handicap, marital difficulties, drug addiction; and *practical concerns of parenting--how to promote children's health, foster social adjustment and cognitive competence, and interact with school, legal, and public officials. Contributors to the Handbook of Parenting have worked in different ways toward understanding all these diverse aspects of parenting, and all look to the most recent research and thinking in the field to shed light on many topics every parent wonders about. Each chapter addresses a different but central topic in parenting; each is rooted in current thinking and theory, as well as classical and modern research in that topic; each has been written to be read and absorbed in a single sitting. In addition, each chapter follows a standard organization, including an introduction to the chapter as a whole, followed by historical considerations of the topic, a discussion of central issues and theory, a review of classical and modern research, forecasts of future directions of theory and research, and a set of conclusions. Of course, contributors' own convictions and research are considered, but contributions to this new edition present all major points of view and central lines of inquiry and interpret them broadly. The Handbook of Parenting is intended to be both comprehensive and state of the art. As the expanded scope of this second edition amply shows, parenting is naturally and closely allied with many other fields.

Download or read book Depression in Parents Parenting and Children written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.
