  • To identify specific situations and factors associated with the use of physical punishment by parents.

Main Methods:

  • Disobedience (40%) and stealing (31.7%) were the most common triggers for physical punishment.
  • The use of physical violence in discipline was significantly associated with parental unemployment (p=0.020).
  • Forty percent of parents reported imposing their will on children, and 57% experienced physical punishment themselves.

    • Conclusions:

    • Physical punishment is utilized as a disciplinary method in certain family contexts, often linked to specific child behaviors and socioeconomic factors like unemployment.
    • A cycle of physical punishment may exist, with parents who were punished as children more likely to use it.
    • Enhanced understanding of domestic violence factors is essential for strengthening prevention strategies and fostering societal awareness.
