Ausgangspunkt des Forschungsvorhabens SchuLae bildet die angestrebte flächendeckende Einführung institutioneller Schutzkonzepte in pädagogischen Kontexten. Im Zuge eines durch Schutzkonzepte in Gang gesetzten Organisationsentwicklungsprozesses sollen Orte des Aufwachsens für Kinder und Jugendliche zu Schutz- und Kompetenzorten werden. Ob Schutzkonzepte tatsächlich zu einem Rückgang von Viktimisierungserfahrungen und einer erhöhten Bereitschaft zur Hilfe(suche) führen, wurde bislang nicht empirisch erfasst. Der vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) geförderte Verbund „SchuLae – Entwicklung und Wirkung von Schutzkonzepten in Schulen im Längsschnitt“ des Deutschen Jugendinstituts und der Hochschule Hannover untersucht daher die Wirksamkeit schulischer Schutzkonzepte sowohl quantitativ als auch qualitativ im Längsschnitt und fokussiert dabei die Perspektiven von Schüler*innen.
Since child maltreatment has highly negative effects on child adjustment, early identification of at-risk families is important. This study focuses on longitudinal risk factors for child maltreatment and associations between abuse risk and occurrence. It also examines whether abuse risk and involvement in early childhood intervention are associated. The sample comprises 197 German caregivers with children under 3 years of age. Data was collected in two waves. The Brief Child Abuse Potential Inventory assessed abuse risk. Socio-demographic, parent, child and family-related risk factors were measured using screening tools. The analysis revealed that parental characteristics (psychopathology, own maltreatment experiences etc.) were associated with concurrent abuse risk. Longitudinal changes in abuse risk were linked to caregiver education and child-related factors. Cumulative risk did not explain more variance than specific risk factors. Significant associations with caregiverreported abuse were found, and data suggest that some burdened families cannot be reached by early childhood intervention.
Background:
In order to prevent child abuse, instruments measuring child abuse potential (CAP) need to be appropriate, reliable and valid.
Objective:
This study aimed to confirm the 6-factor structure of the Brief Child Abuse Potential Inventory (BCAPI) in a German sample of mothers and fathers, and to examine longitudinal predictors of CAP.
Participants and setting:
Two waves of data were collected from 197 mothers and 191 fathers of children aged 10–21 months for the “Kinder in Deutschland–KiD 0–3” in-depth study. Families were stratified based on prior self-report data for screening purposes.
Methods:
138 fathers and 147 mothers were included in the analysis (invalid: 25% mothers, 30% fathers). First, validity of reporting was examined. Second, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to assess factor structure. Third, internal reliability and criterion validity were examined. Finally, multivariate poisson regressions investigated longitudinal predictors of CAP in mothers.
Results:
A previously established six-factor structure was confirmed for mothers but not fathers. CFA failed for fathers due to large numbers of variables with zero variance. For mothers, internal consistency and criterion validity were good. BCAPI score at follow-up was associated with baseline BCAPI score (β= 00.08), stress (β= 0.06), education (β=-0.19) and alcohol use(β= .58).
Conclusions:
Findings confirm the six-factor structure of the BCAPI among German mothers. The clinical use of the BCAPI in fathers is not recommended as it might produce data that are hard to interpret. Further research with fathers is needed to establish if this is due to limitations with this dataset or with the questionnaire.
