This assessment involves developing a research question, conducting a thorough literature review, defining a gap in the literature, expressing a research question, describing the methodology and methods that will be used to answer the research question, and developing a GANTT chart to guide use of time in Capstone B. It assesses the key understanding necessary for conceptualising and developing a research proposal, which will prepare you for the use of research methods as a public health practitioner.

This can include physical, sexual, social, technological, and financial abuse (Domestic Abuse Project, 2016). Violence is common in Australia- 2 among 5 people are known to have experienced at least one instance of abuse by the age of 15 years (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2018). Shreds of evidence depict that women are highly victimized by a known person or family member as compared to men who tend to experience violence from a stranger or in a commonplace. Women tend to experience violence more than men. As per the (Council of Australian Governments, 2011), common forms of violence experienced includes intimate partner violence, domestic violence and sexual abuse. Any sort of abuse or violence does not only affect the perpetrator or the victim, but it ripples through the whole family, including children. The long-term impacts of domestic violence on children reduce the chances of those children leading a healthy and holistically balanced life. This paper studied the previous researches that looked at the impacts of witnessing domestic violence on children. The purpose of this paper was to provide detailed information about the studies that have been done about the particular issue, summarize key findings and address gaps in the studies done. Why is it significant? What do we know? Violence against women occurs on an extensive scale in the Australian population, however, the actual extent of the problem remains unknown because of no reporting of many such incidences (Phillips & Vandenbroek, 2014). According to the data released by (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2014), a notable number of Australian children are exposed to domestic and family violence in their homes. The data also revealed that of all the women victims of domestic violence from a current partner, 54 percent had children in their care at the time of abuse and 31 percent of the children had witnessed violence and of those who were abused by a former partner, 61 percent had children in their care and 48 percent of children had seen or heard violence. Also, the Family Violence Incidence Report by Victoria Police in 2014 stated that 65,393 family violence incidents were attended by them, out of which 22, 445 (34 percent) had children present at the time of incident occurrence. The data revealed by (Domestic Abuse Project, 2016) revealed that 275 million children in the whole world witness domestic violence on average in a year. The effects of witnessing domestic violence can be negative and can even pose a higher risk to children being abused. What is Domestic Violence and Family Violence? It has always been a debatable issue to explain violence. There has always been the usage of contradictory terms to explain the concept. According to the (Council of Australian Governments, 2011), any actions that lead to or can lead any sort of harm to a person, which includes physical, mental, emotional, social and financial, or even threats is Violence. Domestic violence or intimate partner violence is any of the above-mentioned actions that are done by the previous or current partner whereas domestic or family violence is the violence that occurs between family members and intimate partners as well (Phillips & Vandenbroek, 2014) . The basic motive of domestic violence is an ongoing behavior to dominate or control a partner by inducing fear or force. Violence is a common term used to describe all types of actions that result in the suffering of one or more than one person directly or indirectly. Types of Violence The (Council of Australian Governments, 2011) categorizes violence I into the following categories: Sexual Violence- It involves forceful sexual intercourse, rape, forcing to watch pornographic, genital mutilation, prostitution and human trafficking. Physical Violence- This includes physically hitting and harming a person which can be in the forms of slaps, throwing objects at the person, punching, using objects like knives or sticks to abuse and pushing or pulling the victim by grabbing. Emotional Violence- It may include mentally harassing a person by limiting the victim's access to finances and torturing. Emotional abuse is indirectly caused by various other linking factors. Research Methodology and Scope This report focussed on exploring the question: What are the effects of witnessing domestic violence on children? Searching was conducted throughout the span of four weeks from October 12, 2020 to November 8, 2020. The researcher developed the key search criteria to analyze the available literature. The researcher had proficient knowledge about the different terminologies that were used to explain domestic and family violence (Campo, 2015). The words used in combination in all searches included: domestic violence, family violence, intimate partner violence, child*, adolescen*, youth, study, qualitative, research, impacts, effects, experiences. Databases used for search included google scholar, state library of south Australia, PLOS, ProQuest Central, ScienceDirect, PubMed Central, CINAHL, Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Council of Australian Government and Closing the Gap Clearinghouse. Review inclusion and exclusion criteria Papers were initially considered included if the title and abstract met the following criteria: · Published between 2010 and 2020. · Researches including Australia and other equivalent western countries (Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom, New Zealand). · Published in the English language. · Studies including children and adolescents aged 18 years and less. · Papers including the target population witnessing any sort of violence in their home. · The meta-analysis, qualitative and ethnographic studies. · Peer-reviewed and grey literature. Studies were excluded if they were: · Published or dated before 2010. · Focussed on children experiencing violence and abuse. · Conducted only in countries other than mentioned above. Findings After conducting a thorough search for articles that fitted the criteria, three relatable themes were revealed after analysis. The common themes from all the search criteria, included: 1. Cognitive and emotional impairment. 2. Behavioral issues. 3. Different viewpoints. Cognitive and Emotional Impairment Children who have witnessed or heard any sort of violence in their homes have alarmed levels of negative consequences on brain functioning. Many articles illustrated that children who had either witnessed or experienced domestic or family violence are less socially competent as compared to others. It is evident that violence exposure poses an unimaginable burden on children and has a detrimental impact on all developmental stages. Impairment leads to difficulty in maintaining normal functioning. Problems in cognitive functioning lead to problems in day to day task management. They are weak in academics and have slow or lesser thinking and analyzing capacity as compared to other children. And emotional dysfunction results in being unable to maintain relationships whether family, peer, or social (Howell, Barnes, Miller, & Graham Berman, 2016). Such children often exhibit signs of depression, anxiety, eating disorders and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. All these signs are adding on to the reasons why children who either witness violence or have been abused, struggle in making relations in all phases of their lives. It is vital to reflect on the fact that many such children become flexible and do not show any of the above-mentioned signs and symptoms. (Schnurr &
