Consequences of witnessing violence in childhood : A Scoping review (English)
Abstract [sv]

This study explores the social, emotional, and health-related consequences of witnessing intimate partner violence during childhood, as well as the available support interventions for adults with such experiences. Children who witness violence are at an increased risk of mental health issues, behavioral problems, and trauma. Legal challenges may complicate the protection of these children. This study is based on a scoping review analyzing 13 scientific articles. The findings are presented through three main themes: growing up in a violent environment, long-term psychosocial consequences, and support interventions in adulthood. Systems theory and the concept of resilience serve as theoretical frameworks to understand the interactions between individuals and their environment. The study concludes that children who witness violence should be recognized as a particularly vulnerable group. Support interventions should focus on strengthening both individuals' internal coping mechanisms and external support structures through evidence-based methods.

Abstract [sv]

Examensarbetet "Konsekvenser av att ha bevittnat våld i barndomen – En Scoping Review" undersöker de sociala, emotionella och hälsomässiga konsekvenserna av att ha bevittnat våld i nära relationer under uppväxten samt vilka stödinsatser som finns för vuxna med sådana erfarenheter. Barn som bevittnar våld löper ökad risk för psykisk ohälsa, beteendeproblem och trauma, och juridiska utmaningar kan försvåra skyddet för dessa barn. Examensarbetet bygger på en scoping review med analyser av 13 vetenskapliga artiklar, där resultaten presenteras utifrån tre teman: uppväxt i en våldsutsatt miljö, långsiktiga psykosociala konsekvenser och stödinsatser i vuxen ålder. Systemteori och resiliensbegreppet används som teoretiska ramverk för att förstå sambanden mellan individ och omgivning. Slutsatsen betonar vikten av att se barn som bevittnar våld som en särskilt sårbar grupp samt att stödinsatser bör stärka både individens inre resurser och externa stödstrukturer genom evidensbaserade metoder.
