OTAGUIRI, Alliny T. M.; SIQUEIRA, Aline C.  and  D'AFFONSECA, Sabrina M.. Group Interventions with Mothers and Children Exposed to IPV: a systematic literature review. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.1, pp.1-24. ISSN 1516-3687.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/ePTPCP13295.en.

This study had the objective to conduct a systematic literature review on interventions aimed at children and their mothers exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). A search in the Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Bireme databases was conducted using the terms "violência doméstica/domestic violence", "violência entre parceiros íntimos/ intimate partner violence/ violencia entre parejas íntimas", "crianças/ children/ niños", "expostas/ exposed/ expuestos", "intervenção/ intervention/ intervención", "tratamento/ treatment/ tratamiento", "grupo/ group". Through inclusion/ exclusion criteria, the studies were selected and analyzed. Thirteen studies were analyzed and it was observed a predominance in pre-post-test studies with parallel groups of mothers and children. The objectives focused on symptoms (trauma, anxiety, depression, behavior problems) and strengthening mother-child bonds. Conducting concomitant treatment was associated with positive results in reducing symptoms and negative consequences of IPV exposure. These findings shed an important light on violence prevention and intervention, suggesting that concomitant mother-child treatment favors the development of positive and healthy relationships between them.

Keywords : violence between intimate partners; exposure; intervention; mothers; kids.
