Kindesmisshandlung bei Pflegekindern

Eine Studie zur Untersuchung der Häufigkeit und der spezifischen und kumulierten Auswirkungen von Kindesmisshandlung

Published Online:July 05, 2018https://doi.org/10.1026/1616-3443/a000467

Abstract

Zusammenfassung.Theoretischer Hintergrund: Pflegekinder erleben signifikant mehr Misshandlung und Vernachlässigung als andere Kinder und leiden häufiger unter deren langfristigen Auswirkungen. Methode: In dem vom BMBF geförderten Forschungsprojekt GROW&TREAT wurden 94 Pflegekinder hinsichtlich der Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Misshandlungsformen auf ihre Entwicklung untersucht. Als Vergleichsstichprobe dienten 157 in der Herkunftsfamilie lebende Kinder ohne bekannte Misshandlungserfahrung. Mithilfe standardisierter Verfahren wurden emotionale und Verhaltensprobleme, die Beziehungsgestaltung zwischen den Kindern und ihren (Pflege–) Eltern, sowie die kognitive Entwicklung der Kinder erfasst. Ergebnisse: Die Ergebnisse zeigen wie erwartet, dass Pflegekinder eine ungünstigere Entwicklung aufweisen und dass unterschiedliche Misshandlungsformen spezifische Auswirkungen auf die kognitive Entwicklung der Kinder haben. Diskussion: Die Limitationen der Studie und Implikationen für weitere Forschungsansätze werden kritisch reflektiert.


Maltreated Foster Children: A Study of the Frequency and Specific and Cumulative Consequences of Child Maltreatment

Abstract.Background: Foster children experience significantly more maltreatment and neglect than non-foster children do, and therefore are more likely to suffer from long-term consequences. Method: The current investigation was part of the GROW&TREAT research project, funded by the BMBF. In all, 94 foster children were examined regarding the impact of different forms of child maltreatment on their development. As a comparison group, 157 non-foster children were included in the study. Standardized methods were used to assess the child’s emotional and behavioral problems, the parent–child relationship, and the child’s cognitive skills. Results: The results of the study showed that the developmental outcomes were less favorable in foster than in biological children. Different types of maltreatment had specific effects on the child’s cognitive development. Conclusion: The limitations of the study and implications for further investigations are critically discussed.
