Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of intervention studies for child abuse victims in Korea focused on depression, anxiety, self-esteem, problem behavior, and sociability.Methods: Published articles on intervention programs for abused children were investigated using the systematic review method. A total of 24 studies up to August 2021 were included in the final analysis using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) 2.2 program.Results: The differences in effects depending upon the year of publication, total sessions, group size, and time per session were statistically meaningful. The effect size of art therapy was found to be larger than that of traditional group therapy. The effect size of the overall interventions was 1.75, which was a high level in terms of Cohen’s criteria. Intervention programs showed significantly large effect sizes in sociability, problem behavior, and self-esteem. The effect of programs on anxiety and depression was not statistically meaningful.Conclusion: The results of this study are meaningful because they can be used as basic data for the development of intervention programs for abused children. Intervention programs for child abuse victims should continue to be developed and applied.
