Filter by:Based on research and studies, a broad conceptualization of child abuse and neglect has progressively been constructed, defining it as all actions carried out by caregivers that significantly interfere in the child's optimum development and do not adhere to social standards. This conceptualization contemplates aspects such as neglecting physical-biological, cognitive, emotional, and social needs, and the different types of child maltreatment are also classified. This study aimed too evaluate the psychological and social long-term effects of different types of child abuse.
Background: Child and adolescent abuse and neglect (CAAN) cases are increasing both in Taiwan and worldwide. As the first healthcare professionals who come in contact with CAAN cases, nurses play a crucial role. Studies show that the lack of professional knowledge and ability of nursing staff on CAAN affects the effectiveness of timely identification and notification. Therefore, it is extremely important to improve the knowledge and ability of nursing staff to assess and report CAAN. With advancements in technology, continuing education for nurses is now more extensive than traditional lecture teaching. Online education, which breaks down the barriers of time and space in learning, has thrived after the COVID-19 pandemic. Chatbots are an option for individual learning and can increase accessibility and convenience for nurses learning how to recognize and report CAAN. Objective: The aims of the study are to evaluate the effectiveness of using chatbots as teaching aids to assist nursing personnel in preventing child abuse. This evaluation will be the impact of learning on CAAN competency. Method: The study utilizes an experimental design in which participants are purposively sampled and subsequently randomized into either the experimental or control group. The experimental group will use "chatbot" to facilitate teaching. The control group only receives lecture-based teaching. The course content is comprised of two main subjects: "CAAN" and "Nurses' Roles and Functions in CAAN," which was developed using the ADDIE model. The study employs the CAAN Knowledge and Competency Scale which retrieves from the Child abuse report intention scale (CARIS) by Feng and Wu (2005). Additionally, the learning effect is assessed at three different time points: before the course, one week after, and four weeks after. Expected Results: The study predicts that the learning effects of the experimental group, which used chatbots, will be better than those of the control group. It is expected that these results will be able to implement in various educational fields, including CAAN and interdisciplinary teams.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Program (CANPP) based on Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) on the awareness levels and child abuse potential of pregnant women. This randomized controlled study was conducted between July and December 2022 in a family health center of Aydin/Turkey with the participation a total of 30 pregnant women, who were then distributed into two groups as 15 experiment group and 15 control group pregnant women.The participants in the experiment group were applied SCT-based CANPP whereas no intervention was applied to the control group. Research data were collected before the intervention, one month after the intervention, and three months after the intervention using the Pregnant Data Collection Form, Child Neglect and Abuse Awareness Scale for Parents (CNAASP) and Child Abuse Potential Inventory (CAPI). Chi-Square and Fisher exact tests, independent groups t-test and repeated measures ANOVA test were used in the statistical analysis of the research data.
Child abuse and neglect (CAN), child maltreatment, and child victimization are interchangeable terms that refer to a major public health problem confronting children and families. . This study Investigated dentists' level of knowledge, perception, attitude & responsibility regarding child physical abuse in some of Upper Egypt governorates
The Enhancing Permanency in Children and Families (EPIC) program is a collaborative effort between the Ohio State University College of Social Work, two county offices of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, two juvenile courts and local behavioral health agencies. The goal of EPIC is to use three evidence-based and evidence-informed practices to reduce abusive and neglectful parenting, reduce addiction severity in parents, and improve permanency outcomes for families involved with the child welfare system due to substance abuse.
The epidemiological data currently available on child abuse in France are very inadequate. They do not make it possible to know the number of child victims, nor the precise context and impact of this violence. Very often, the figures put forward are underestimated. Improving the knowledge of these situations would make it possible to develop targeted primary and secondary prevention programs. In this study, is proposed an innovative method of exploiting existing national databases, the PMSI and SNIIRAM, with the aim of 1) approaching an order of magnitude of the frequency of physical abuse in children and 2) evaluating its contexts and consequences. The PMSI is a high-quality database that has been used for many years for medical research purposes. It provides a large amount of epidemiological information and can be used to create cohorts large enough to detect rare events. The SNIIRAM/EGB data allows the recovery of all data on reimbursed consumption, such as drug treatments, biological examinations carried out or consultations (with general practitioners or specialists).
Objectives The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SREIA parent training program for families of children with ASD aged three to six years in mainland China. The study will be conducted within the context of routine service provision and assess the effectiveness of SREIA in reducing child behavioral problems as measured by the Externalizing scale of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) for Ages 1.5-5, in comparison to a waitlist control group. Secondary objectives include examining the effectiveness of the SREIA program in reducing ASD symptoms and improving parental and familial outcomes including parental knowledge of ASD and ABA techniques, parenting styles, parental mental health (including stress, anxiety and depression), and family functioning. A process evaluation will be conducted alongside the quasi-experimental trial, the objectives of which are to 1) describe the implementation aspects of the programs with regard to participant involvement, program acceptability, delivery, and sustainability; 2) explore predictors of participant involvement; and 3) examine potential relations between implementation aspects and treatment effects. Background ASD is associated with elevated levels of child emotional and behavior disturbance, which impair child daily functioning and impose challenges to parenting. The SREIA programme is a group-based parent training in China, that has been delivered since 1993 and reached over 10,000 families. However, there is an absence of scientific evaluations of programme effectiveness. This study aims to fill this evidence gap, and the findings will be used to inform future modification, replication, and dissemination of the programme in other parts of China. This study will also contribute to the literature on the effectiveness of parent training programmes for ASD and for families living in low- and middle-income countries. Methods A quasi-experimental design with a mixed-methods approach will be used, involving two consecutive waves of delivery of the SREIA programme. Parent participants will complete demographic and outcome questionnaires at baseline, immediate post-intervention, and 1- or 1.5-year post-intervention (conditional to funding). The implementation components will be assessed by collecting attendance and engagement registry data, facilitators filling out fidelity checklists, research staff observing programme sessions, and parents answering a satisfaction questionnaire. After the programme, some parents, facilitators, and NGO (non-governmental organisation) managers will be invited to take part in qualitative interviews or focus group discussions so as to explore their views about the programme, and to better understand the quantitative data obtained.
The goals of the pilot RCT examining the potential effectiveness of the Safe at Home program in DRC are to: 1. Determine the potential effectiveness of Safe at Home program on improvements of family functioning and secondary outcomes of reductions in intimate partner violence and child maltreatment 2. Determine the potential effectiveness of the Safe at Home program on changes in pathway outcomes such as attitudes towards harsh discipline, gender attitudes, power-sharing, positive parenting practices, etc.
The aim is to determine if a brief intervention can affect parents' attitudes about physical punishment and other parenting behaviors.
Child abuse is defined as "Any act of commission or omission that endangers or impairs child's physical, sexual, or emotional health and development". According to The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Child physical abuse CPA is defined as "The intentional use of physical force against a child that result in, or has the potential to result in, physical injury". Child abuse and neglect may occur in any family, and it isn't confined to certain geographic, ethnic, or socioeconomic background. According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimation, around forty million children suffer from different forms of abuse, and require health and social care. WHO has estimated that in year 2000 nearly fifty-seven thousand children under fifteen years old were dead because of abuse, with the highest rate in children between zero to four years old. In 2014, WHO estimated that 23% of children worldwide were subjected to physical abuse. Dentists are the best to detect children who are at abuse risk, since more than fifty percent of abuse injuries occur at head and neck region, and they are the first to see and treat orofacial region. Studies have shown that while dentists are in a good position to detect and report abuse, few of them do report abuse cases. The main causes of not reporting CPA are lack of adequate history, inability, and hesitancy in diagnosing the abuse, fear that it may affect the reputation of their clinic, worry about what will happen to the child and his family, and unfamiliarity with child protection policy in their workplace. The Egyptian law obligates dentists to report any suspected case of child abuse. Many studies have been published assessing dentists' knowledge and practice of CPA diagnosis and reporting. However, to our knowledge, there are no published data available about Egyptian dentists' cognition of CPA signs and diagnosis, and their actual participation in reporting suspected cases.
