1. Objectifs

Intentions :
«[T]he present study aims to predict outcomes following CSA (child sexual abuse), namely internalized and externalized behaviors, while considering socio-demographic variables (i.e. age and sex), characteristics of the abuse (e.g., severity and duration), maternal variables, such as psychological distress and children’s perception of maternal security, and finally perception of paternal security.» (p. 115)

Échantillon/Matériau :
«A sample of 142 families was recruited in three sites offering services to children following disclosure of CSA, situated in the province of Quebec, Canada.» (p. 115)

3. Résumé

«In the present study, perception of security to mothers was significantly higher than the child’s perception of security to fathers. Our results are consistent with those reported in a recent validation study (Bacro 2011) as well as in the original study (Kerns et al. 1996), which stated that the actual cut-off point used to distinguish secure to insecure attachment was higher for the scale describing maternal relationship compared to paternal relationship. […] The main finding of this study was that perception of security to fathers predicted outcomes following a CSA – namely both internalized and externalized behavior problems and six subscales (anxious/depressed, withdrawn, delinquent, aggressive behaviors, social problems and thought problems) – even after controlling for socio-demographic characteristics, mothers’ psychological distress, and perception of security to mothers. Children’s perception of security to their fathers predicted all behavior problems displayed by the child following the abuse except somatic complaints and attention problems.» (p. 118-119)

1. Objectifs

Intentions :
«The goal of this study was to examine how gambling problems and depressive symptoms co-evolve from adolescence to emerging adulthood by empirically deriving single and joint latent trajectory classes. In addition, we also assessed whether a series of risk and protective factors were differentially related to these single or joined trajectory classes.» (p. 560)

2. Méthode

Échantillon/Matériau :
«Participants were part of an ongoing longitudinal study that started in 1984 with 1162 kindergarten boys. They attended 53 schools in economically disadvantaged areas in Montreal, Canada. Sociofamily risk data were collected when the boys were 10 years old. Impulsivity data were collected when the boys were 14 years old. Data on the quality of the relationship with parents and friends were collected when the boys were 14 and 15 years old. Gambling and depression data were collected at ages 17, 23 and 28 years. To be included in the present study, participants had to have valid gambling and depression data during at least one of the three measurement times, resulting in an N of 888.» (p. 552)

3. Résumé

«Regarding the assessment of protective factors, our results showed that a high quality relationship with parents was associated with decreased odds of experiencing moderate to high levels of depressive symptoms from late adolescence through young adulthood. These results are concordant with previous studies on the role of the parent-offspring relationship in the developmental of depressive symptomatology (Galambos et al. 2006; Meadows et al. 2006). Interestingly however, this protective effect of a good relationship with parents was not observed for males whose depression symptoms co-occurred with high levels of gambling problems. This absence of results is surprising considering the well-established link between the parent–child relationship and externalizing behaviors in the offspring (White and Renk 2012). However, it possible that even a very good parent–child relationship cannot counterbalance or mitigate the particular risk factors (such as a very high level of impulsivity) that lead to comorbid internalizing and externalizing problems.» (p. 560)

1. Objectifs

Intentions :
«Prenant appui sur les indicateurs de résultats élaborés par les Centres de la jeunesse et de la famille Batshaw (Centres Batshaw) dans le cadre de l’initiative Gestion fondée sur les données probantes (voir Branché, volume 1, numéros 1 et 2), le Centre de recherche sur l’enfance et la famille [...] de l’Université McGill, en collaboration avec l’Association des centres jeunesse du Québec [...] et les 16 centres jeunesse du Québec, a suivi et analysé les six indicateurs d’efficacité des services. Le présent article propose de porter un regard et de faire le point sur l’indicateur de récurrence de la maltraitance chez les enfants présenté pour la première fois dans Branché, vol. 1, numéro 3 – en incluant des années supplémentaires de données ainsi que des comparaisons avec les moyennes provinciales.» (p. 1)

2. Méthode

Échantillon/Matériau :
«Pour faire le suivi de ces cas, nous avons compilé des données sur 78 341 enfants de partout au Québec qui ont reçu des services AM [Application des mesures] ou IT [Intervention terminale] et dont les dossiers ont été fermés entre 2002 et 2011. De ce nombre, 4 939 recevaient des services des Centres Batshaw.» (p. 1)

3. Résumé

«Les résultats des analyses sont généralement encourageants. La vaste majorité (90 %) des enfants ayant obtenu des services AM ou IT aux Centres Batshaw ne font pas l’objet d’un nouveau signalement fondé pour maltraitance dans les douze mois suivant la fermeture de leur dossier. D’autres recherches sont nécessaires pour mieux comprendre le taux de récurrence plus élevé chez les enfants pris en charge pour troubles de comportement et violence physique et chez les enfants de six à neuf ans au moment de la fermeture de leur dossier. Des analyses supplémentaires du phénomène de la récurrence, notamment chez ces jeunes, pourraient jeter un nouvel éclairage sur la meilleure façon de continuer à assurer la sécurité et l’épanouissement des enfants une fois l’intervention des Centres Batshaw terminée.» (p. 2)
