The phenomenon of child maltreatment is exacerbated by the unique challenges faced by single mothers balancing academic responsibilities with childcare duties. The research aims to assess the prevalence, contributing factors, coping mechanisms, and impacts of child abuse on both mothers and children. A comprehensive literature review highlights the socio-economic, psychological, and environmental factors influencing child maltreatment, grounded in Ecological Systems Theory, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of individual and societal influences. Employing a descriptive research design, the study utilized purposive sampling to select 100 undergraduate female single parents from the university, ensuring a representative analysis of this demographic. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicate that 40% of participants observed child abuse among peers, with 60% citing financial difficulties as a major contributor. Furthermore, 55% reported that academic responsibilities adversely affected their mental health. The results underscore a critical need for supportive interventions. The study concludes that child abuse and neglect significantly impact the academic performance and mental health of single mothers and their children. Recommendations include the establishment of support networks and resources tailored to the needs of single parents in academic settings to mitigate risks and enhance child welfare. This research provides a foundational understanding for policymakers and educational institutions to implement targeted interventions....Preview Download Preview +Other Sociology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Knowledge and attitude of undergraduate students towards homosexuality and its implication on social adjustment (A study of Caritas university, Amorji-Nike, Emene, Enugu state) »Assessing factors responsible for community self-help projects and rural development – a study of selected communities in Ado-Odo/Ota local government area»Unemployment and involvement in crime in urban communities»A sociological snalysis of the media and crime control in Abuja Municipality FCT»The impact of social distancing and frequent handwashing in reducing the spread of coronavirus disease (covid-19) in Nigeria»Comparative study of socio-economic background of parents towards their children in relation to academic performance»Socio-cultural effect of herders attack on farmers productivity in Akure north Lga, Ondo state»Effects of malnutrition among children of lower socioeconomic status of age 0-5 years»Youth unemployment and insecurity - case study of Rivers State»The impact of child trafficking on women in Nigeria»Causes and impact of indiscipline among secondary school students»Impact of orphanage home on the child’s personality development»Female gender discrimination in work place among civil service workers in Enugu state local government area of Enugu state»Radio Biafra and civil war of 1967-1970: lessons for the contemporary media industry in south-south region»Social media effect on youth perception of police
