Abstract
Objectives: Child abuse is a global problem, and various programs are under way to prevent it. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of specific programs through a systematic review of meta-analyzes of the effects of various child abuse programs. Methods: We searched the Ovid-Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane library and so on up to October 2017 using search terms such as (child AND (maltreatment or abuse)) AND (prevent* AND(program* and educat*)) AND (meta-analysis or systemic review) in English. Results: The Child Abuse Prevention Program reported on the reduction of child abuse, parenting knowledge and attitudes, parenting behaviors, and interactions with children. We also analyzed the effects of child sexual abuse knowledge and preventive behavior through education. All results reported low or moderate positive effects. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that prevention of child abuse is effective for both parents and children. However, consistent and systematic child abuse prevention education will be needed to confirm this conclusion.
