Abstract
Objective
Child maltreatment can harm children physically, mentally, and emotionally. It can affect children’s activities of daily living and social participation. This study aimed to compare the levels of participation, support and barriers for children who have been maltreated with children who have not been maltreated.
Participants and setting
The study included 70 maltreated (28 male, 42 female) and 52 non-maltreated (29 male, 23 female) caregiver of children aged 6–12 years.
Methods
A cross-sectional, direct survey method was used to collect data from caregiver of children. Participation, frequency of participation, support and barriers were assessed using the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY).
Results
Statistically significant differences were found between children who were maltreated in the home context and children who were not maltreated in terms of participation frequency, participation level and environmental barriers scores (p < 0.05). In addition, statistically significant differences were observed between children who were maltreated in the school and community context and children who were not maltreated in terms of environmental barriers, frequency of participation and level of participation scores (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
The results of our study showed that the participation of children with a history of child maltreatment in home, school and community settings was significantly affected compared to the control group. In particular, it was observed that children with a history of child maltreatment needed more support in participating in activities in both home and school environments compared to their peers with normal development.
