Purpose of Study: To identify why the COVID lockdown raised the risk of abuse in children and parents. Why does being in quarantine in your home make a person become aggressive over a period of time.
Number of Participants: 49
unique CPA patients pre-COVID and 83 unique CPA patients intra-COVID
Methodology: Quantitative (focus on characteristics of individuals)
Summary of Important Findings: The data in this study showed how COVID-19 drastically changed people's behavior, leading them to act more aggressively in their environment. The study showed how people became more abusive to their children, spouses, and loved ones from being in the same space for
long periods of time. Lots of frustration from the loss of jobs and businesses closed and not being
able to do your normal day-to-day hobbies altered one's behavior. During the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was lower overall hospital intake during the time of mandatory shutdowns and isolation. However, we saw an increased rate of CPA admissions compared to the year before the pandemic. Knowing about the data, trends, and circumstances will help keep health-care providers alert and aware of how to identify children at

risk for abuse. It may impact child abuse procedures, protocols, and guidelines. The journal points out how one in eight children will experience abuse before the age of eighteen years. During the pandemic, people lost jobs, which caused them to lose wages from work due to companies and businesses closing down. Families were under a lot of stress, and what most people do when they are under stress they turn to substance abuse. Causing them to have anger that leads to abuse. Impact on Children/Families:
The impact that COVID-19 had on children and families with abuse is researched in the article. From this article, we see that COVID-19 had a negative impact on families who had a high-stress level. It showed that more men than women were more abusive to their children and families. The COVID-19 pandemic invoked stress and socio-economic burdens on households around the world. This led to an increased prevalence of factors that infer risk for CPA and decreased exposure of children to those who most commonly recognize and report CPA to authorities.
J Paediatr Child Health (2023). The article also showed that many families during COVID did not report their abuse, it was something that was known, when most people experience abuse for the first time they do not know how to react to it. Most of the time they believe that it will only be a one-time occurrence.

Impact on Society: Article 1
The article shows the research of drastic changes in society related to abuse with COVID-
19 from the prior year. the high-stress levels from people losing their jobs and being on mandatory shutdown were hard on people. The abuse level in society went up from the previous year. The article suggested that going through COVID-19 abuse made law enforcement, healthcare workers, teachers, etc. more aware of people who are suffering from abuse and how they should go about handling the situation. The article suggested that there was more substance abuse,there are many different factors that contributed to these issues, most common were economic collapse, social isolation, and little to no access to healthcare. The article talks more about how natural disasters have a greater risk to people with domestic abuse. lower-income households or communities that already were experiencing hard times, had a higher risk of abuse in the community. Because of the unmitigated separation from the pandemic, there was an increase in a lot of cases of physical abuse, and mental illnesses. Mental illness plays a large part in contributing to people either starting to use substances or relapse from being clean, to back using substances.

Impact on Children/Families: Article 2
Title #2: Childhood emotional abuse and adult mental health at the intersection of social relationship and education.
Authors: Jong Hyun Jung and Shi Hui Joy Soo
Year:
2023
Source:
The International journal of social psychiatry Purpose of Study: To identify the effects that childhood abuse has on people when they become
adults. The article investigates the impact abuse has on our society from being abused as children. It shows where people are more likely to end up in life. Number of Participants: 1,371
Methodology: MIxed-Method Summary of Important Findings: The article suggested that people who experience emotional or physical abuse as a child will most likely live in poverty. Because of the emotional abuse that they experienced as a child, their mind never develops to think of wanting to do better, they only mimic what they were used to. Using data from the 2012 Korean General Social Survey, the analyses show that childhood emotional abuse is positively associated with depression and psychological distress. Int J Soc Psychiatry (2023)
This article shows that the perceived value of social relationships provides a barrier for people who have been through childhood emotional and physical abuse. The article talks about the importance of building and healing relationships with people who have been through abuse, and how building those relationships from childhood abuse heals the person in adult years.

Impact on Children/Families:
The article shows the impact that childhood abuse has on children and families. Adults who were abused as a child, typically have a repeat cycle of what they have been through because they are only doing what they were taught. The children and families live in low-income
houses and have a hard time staying on a job, causing them to have more stress and frustration that they will take out on family members like their spouse and children. Those impacts that the child will experience from a parent who experiences childhood abuse themselves typically fall victim to very bad injuries. the parent who is doing the abusing will take out all their past anger onto the child who did nothing wrong or to a spouse who simply forgot to do something or they didn’t do something to the liking of the abuser. Impact on Society: Article 2
The findings in the study also suggest that the buffering potency of the perceived quality of social relationships does not apply to the well-educated.
Int J Soc Psychiatry (2023). The article suggested that people who experienced childhood abuse and beat the odds, end up well educated and are able to not live in low-income houses. Some people who experienced abuse swear that they would not end up living the way they were brought up to live as a child. The study also found that people who have experienced childhood abuse and get a job that is a high-
stress level job when put under much pressure and stress from work they would typically take their frustration and anger out on family members causing the cycle to continue and making it bad for society. Projecting that anger out onto people, they will only react in a certain way making it hard to live in our society.
