Children's exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with significant emotional impairment and other harmful effects. It is increasingly recognized as a type of child maltreatment, with outcomes similar to other types of abuse and neglect. Children can experience harm from exposure to IPV, even when not directly involved in, or a witness to, the violence between caregivers. This review, based on a synthesis of best available evidence, addresses the epidemiology of children's exposure to IPV, including prevalence, risk and protective factors, and associated impairment, as well as strategies for identification, and interventions for prevention of exposure and impairment. Strategies for ensuring children's safety are also discussed. The article concludes with guidance specific to mental health clinicians.
儿童暴露于亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)与严重的情绪障碍及其他有害影响相关。它日益被视为一种儿童虐待形式,其后果与其他类型的虐待和忽视相似。即使儿童未直接卷入照顾者之间的暴力行为或目睹暴力,暴露于亲密伴侣暴力也会使其受到伤害。本综述基于对现有最佳证据的综合分析,探讨了儿童暴露于亲密伴侣暴力的流行病学情况,包括患病率、风险和保护因素、相关障碍,以及识别策略、预防暴露和障碍的干预措施。还讨论了确保儿童安全的策略。文章最后给出了针对心理健康临床医生的具体指导。
