The individuals in the mentioned population are known to experience IPV in the form of physical, psychological and sexual abuse, mostly. In turn, it affects their mental health, and hence the need for them to receive psychological treatment based on specific symptoms being experienced. The review has given consideration to the psychological treatments that are supported by empirical evidence. The psychological treatments included in this review include Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Meta-cognitive Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. In addition, in the review, relevant recommendations have been made to ensure that victims of IPV are able to benefit significantly from the psychological treatments. There is also a need for researchers to come up with other interventions or treatment modalities for other none common adverse effects of IPV.

On one end, the church missions have put considerable efforts and strategies to evangelize Muslims for leading them to Christ. However, these efforts have faced numerous challenges. It is with this background that the study investigated factors hindering Muslim evangelism by the South Sudanese Community Church (SSCC) in the Jamhuri area of Nairobi. It was established that there is a correlation between the challenges that the South Sudanese Community faces in Kenya with the decline in reaching out to Muslims with the Gospel. This paper examined the strategies used by churches in Kibera to reach out to the Muslims in Jamhuri area. The design chosen was descriptive, which enabled the researcher to do in-depth interviews. The target population was 100 participants, from which a sample of 40 was drawn. Those who participated in study thirty (30). The study’s approach to data was qualitative. The findings revealed that South Sudanese Community Church members in Jamhuri have an assumption that they are not sufficiently prepared to evangelize Muslims. Besides, there was an evident relationship between this lack of preparation Missiologicaly and evangelism ministry. The study concluded that SSCC is yet to gain a strong foundation for the Christian- Muslim relationship. Therefore, the researcher recommended that SSCC members be trained and equipped in mission, particularly in Muslim evangelism. The researcher also recommended that a similar study should be carried out in other South Sudanese and Sudanese Community Churches (SSCC) within and without Nairobi County. Finally, there is a need to strengthen the South Sudanese and Sudanese Community Churches (SSCC) leadership.

The study was done within a period of three months. The study was guided by the Ecological Systems theory and the Social Cognitive Theory. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. Participant’s answers were compared to certain variables including prevalence of preventive hygiene measures, depression, severity of anxiety and prevalence of avoidance behavior. A working sample size of 123 was picked from a target population of 1134 students from the Africa International University. Stratified Random Sampling was used to get a sample of 123 students. A structured questionnaire with an internal consistence reliability of α=0.858 was used to collect data from the respondents. In addition to this, the researcher used the Becks Depression Inventory-II and the Beck’s Anxiety Inventory to find out the severity of depression and anxiety respectively. The information obtained was analyzed using SPSS version 23 and information obtained was presented using both descriptive and inferential statistics.

Incest is such a cause which affects the child psychologically, socially and physically. The study purposed to assess the social demographic characteristics of (PTSD) among child survivors of incest aged between 6-17 years seen at Nairobi Women’s Hospital Gender Based Violence & Recovery Centre (GVRC) in Nairobi County. The population included caregivers/parents, survivors, and key informants. The study used purposive sampling to select the site and utilized random sampling to select the key informants. The sample size comprised of 20 survivors, 20 parents and 2 key informants. Data was collected through TSCYC scale, and observation. The findings of this study pointed out that the prevalence of PTSD among child survivors of incest was 60 %; the levels of other psychological disorders stood at: Depression (63.69 ± 6.249SD), Anxiety (64.6 ± 7.123SD), Anger/aggression (64.43 ± 7.24SD), Dissociation (61.67 ± 8.753SD), and Sexual concerns (105.86 ± 8.536). All these were clinically significant; out of the 42 child survivors of incest, 9(21.4%) were traumatized, 4(9.5%) had depression, 2(4.8%) had an infection, 1(2.4%) had pregnancy, 1(2.4%) was sick while 25(59.5%) had a combination of all the other effects; 37(88%) of the child survivors went to hospital while 5(12%) visited any other professional for help. The study also found out that the level of education (r=-0.017, p=0.913), familiarity with perpetrator (r=-0.232, p=0.139), and relationship with perpetrator (r=-0.133, p=0.401) were negatively correlated with PTSD. However, gender (r=0.170, p=0.282), place of assault (r=0.039, p=0.806), and frequency of abuse (r=0.110, p=0.487) were positively correlated with PTSD. The study concluded that PTSD was prevalent among children survivors of incest and the effects were varied. The caregivers were unaware of its existence and ill-equipped to pursue a treatment plan.

Many young people reunite with their biological parents or guardians after attaining the legal age of being termed as young adults. Since reintegration is not an event but a process, many things come to play. Several young adults who have reintegrated with their families after healing, treatment, recovery, and stabilization in the children’s homes exhibit disruptive behaviour and psychological disorders after being reunited with their guardians or families. This study is anchored in reintegrative shaming theory, Goffman’s Stigma theory and behavioural change theory. The study aimed to examine the impact of stigmatization on behaviour change among young adults from First Love Kenya. The study group consisted of 92 respondents: 71 young adults, one children officer, and 20 parents/guardians. Data was collected through the use of questionnaires and an interview guide. The research instruments were validated by a reliability test and was found to be credible. Upon collection, the data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis. Descriptive statistics were percentages, frequency counts, mean and standard deviation. At the same time, the inferential statistics tested the hypotheses using Pearson’s correlation test to correlate family reintegration and behaviour change. Regression analysis was then used to measure the effect of shaming, stigmatization, and reintegration on behaviour change. Results showed that stigmatization had a negative and significant impact on change of behaviour among young adults (β = -.39 p = .000<.05). Further, reintegration had a negative though insignificant impact on change of behaviour among young adults (p =.985>.05). The study concluded that shaming and stigmatization contributes significantly to negative change of behaviour among young adults. The study recommended the need for stakeholders to review the policies on reintegration. The focus should be on how to eliminate defensiveness and attitude of worthlessness among young adults; how to enhance social skills among young adults, and how to deal with depression, rebellion and aggression; and how to enhance confidence, self-esteem, and acceptance among young adults.

As far as Friends missionaries are concerned, it recognizes the activities done by the Friends Missionaries in terms of positive and negative development force introduced by Christianity while noting several things that improved the lives of the people, such as health facilities and education. On the other hand, Christianity led to the downgrade of the African customs and culture, which it saw as pagan and evil; the religion also led to social problems. Some of the social problems caused by Christianity was a complete change to the lifestyles and introduction of new ways of living that caused cultural clash among the community.
