Abstract

There is scarcity of academic research that presents effective frameworks for addressing intimate partner violence (IPV) harm to children.  This study investigates the negative effects of IPV on children who witness IPV incidents and assesses the intervention of value to mitigate these outcomes. This was a qualitative study using purposive sampling of IPV victims abused in the children’s presence. These victims underwent counseling at Bapong Crisis Center in Bapong village, South Africa. Semi-structured interviews were held, and data was analysed using thematic content analysis. IPV-exposed children risk anxiety, aggression, attachment issues, and academic and relationship struggles. There should be effective interventions that include trauma-informed care, caregiver support programs, and community awareness campaigns to reduce symptom severity. A coordinated strategy integrating professional training, policy reform, and child-centered psychosocial support is needed to break IPV cycles. Future research should prioritize culturally adaptive interventions and longitudinal tracking.

Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) constitutes a significant global public health problem. Studies of this phenomenon in South Africa are concentrated in urban and semi-urban areas, leaving rural areas unexplored. To bridge this knowledge gap, a qualitative study grounded in social constructivism and a single case study design was conducted to explore the lived experiences of victims of IPV receiving counselling services at the Bapong Crisis Centre, situated in a rural part of North West Province, South Africa. Data was generated from semi-structured interviews with 19 purposively selected IPV victims and deductively analyzed using reflective thematic analysis (RTA) through the lenses of Bonanno’s four-component model. The study found that most participants had negative experiences. The study also found that victims suffered negative emotional, psychological, physical, and social effects and used various coping mechanisms. These insights underscore the need for focused interventions, including mental health services, domestic violence prevention initiatives, and culturally sensitive programs designed to tackle power imbalances and emotional trauma within abusive intimate relationships.
