The impact on children witnessing violence in intimate partner relationships : A qualitative study of professional descriptions of children's vulnerability and support needs (English)
Abstract [sv]

I Sverige lever cirka 200 000 barn i familjer där våld förekommer och att bevittna våld kan få allvarliga konsekvenser för ett barns utveckling och välbefinnande. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur professionella uppfattar barns påverkan av att bevittna våld i nära relationer samt vilken hjälp som finns att tillgå. Metoden i studien var kvalitativ och semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med professionella som möter barn i sin yrkesutövning. Det insamlade materialet analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att de professionella upplevde att barn uppvisar ett brett spektrum av svårigheter. Barn påverkas i sitt psykiska och fysiska välbefinnande och uppvisar olika grad av känslomässiga och beteendemässiga problem som en konsekvens av att bevittna våld. Studien visade att barn inte bara bevittnar våld utan upplever våld. För att stödja yngre barn i att bearbeta sina upplevelser krävs stöd på individuell nivå som inkluderar omsorgspersonen.

Abstract [en]

In Sweden, approximately 200,000 children live in families where violence occurs, and witnessing violence can have serious consequences for a child's development and well-being. The purpose of the study was to investigate how professionals perceive children's impact of witnessing violence in intimate partner relationships and what help is available. The method in the study was qualitative and semi-structured interviews were conducted with professionals who meet children in their professional practice. The collected data was analysed using thematic analysis. The results showed that the professionals experienced that children show a wide range of difficulties. Children are affected in their mental and physical well-being and show varying degrees of emotional and behavioral problems as a consequence of witnessing violence. The study showed that children not only witness violence but experience violence. To support children in processing their experiences, support is required at individual level that includes the caregiver.
