Chitiyo, J. & Pietrantoni, Z. (2019). The Impact of Child Maltreatment on the Educational
and Psychological Well-Being of Students. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1218579.pdf

Researchers Chitiyo, J., and Pietrantoni, Z., from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and
California State University at East Bay, looked at how child abuse affected students' academic and
general well-being. They gathered information and findings from several prior and ongoing studies
relevant to their issue. They found that it had a detrimental impact on student's academic achievement
and psychological well-being. According to the study, children who have experienced maltreatment are
more likely to experience depression, stress-related disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. They
are also more likely to exhibit non-academic problems like aggression or poor social skills than their
peers who have not experienced maltreatment.

Although the researchers successfully achieved the stated goals of the studies, they did not
create their samples and findings, which might have assisted researchers in strengthening and improving
the basis of the linked research; instead, they concentrated on existing instances.

Study 2

Yohanna, J. & Muhammad, M. (2018). Effects of Child Abuse on Primary Education. A Case Study of
Some Selected Primary Schools in Zuru Local Government. http://bitly.ws/tFiC

Yohanna, J., & Muhammad, M., from the Federal University Wukaria, the study researched the
consequences of child maltreatment in primary schooling. The study examined the causes, behaviors,
and effects of child abuse as a barrier to primary education using 60 structured questionnaires
administered in the study area to gather categorized information from the respondents. The study
found that physical abuse and neglect of children were the most destructive types of maltreatment in
the survey and had highly detrimental effects on primary school students, including poor academic
performance, criminality, and a bad attitude.

The researchers successfully obtained their targeted results and achieved the study’s specific
objectives. This study was selected because it attracted a sizable number of responses, which might aid
researchers in strengthening and improving a study with a comparable or related topic.

Annerbäck, E., Svedin, C., & Dahlström, Ö. (2018). Child physical abuse: factors influencing the
associations between self-reported exposure and self-reported health problems: a cross-sectional
study. https://capmh.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13034-018-0244-1

The causes of physical abuse of children were studied in research by Linköping University
researchers Annerbäck, E., Svedin, C., and Dahlström., Ö. The goal of the study was to determine which
factors—perpetrator, last year's exposure, severity, and frequency; socioeconomic burden; and foreign
background—relate to self-reported ill health among girls and boys (13, 15, and 17 years old). As a result,
more children who had experienced physical abuse than those whose abuse was not disclosed reported
having poor health. It was discovered that, particularly for males, experiencing physical abuse as a
youngster was strongly connected with poor health and a high economic burden on the family. The
findings demonstrated a link between child maltreatment and poor overall health, as well as mental and
physical health issues in both boys and girls. If severe abuse was recorded, father abuse was linked to
poor mental health. Mild paternal maltreatment was also linked to poor mental health.

The study was chosen because it accomplished its primary objective effectively, strengthened the
subject, collected data and samples, produced figures and analyses of the study, and explained many
definitions that might be useful to future researchers.
