Domestic violence’s impact on maternal–child relationship and child behavior: a nursing study from Egypt
Exposure to domestic violence adversely affects maternal mental health and children's behavioral outcomes, potentially compromising the mother-child relationship. These findings underscore the importance of interventions aimed at supporting maternal caregiving sensitivity, promoting secure parent-child attachment, and mitigating the effects of violence on family well-being in the Egyptian context.
