Abstract

Topic

Nurses are uniquely positioned to provide early diagnoses and interventions for abused, neglected, or at-risk children. They are also required, by law, to report suspected child abuse. However, little is known about the attitudes of student and registered nurses in reporting cases of abuse.

Purpose

This study aimed to identify nursing students' attitudes and related factors toward reporting child abuse and neglect in Turkey.

Sources

This cross-sectional study was carried out with the online participation of 1170 nursing students. The scale for determining the attitudes of health professionals in reporting child abuse (ACAS) was administered together with questions on demographic information.

Conclusions

ACAS scores of nursing students toward reporting child abuse were average. Younger age, poor perceived academic success, suspecting of a child abuse and neglect case during clinical practice, and male sex were independently associated with higher ACAS scores. Therefore, education programs for nursing students should focus on improving their attitudes toward reporting child abuse and neglect.

护生对报告虐待和忽视儿童的态度:土耳其的一项横断面研究
主题护士在为受虐待、被忽视或有风险的儿童提供早期诊断和干预方面具有独特的地位。法律还要求他们报告涉嫌虐待儿童的情况。然而,人们对学生和注册护士在报告虐待案件时的态度知之甚少。目的本研究旨在确定土耳其护理专业学生对报告虐待和忽视儿童的态度和相关因素。资料来源:这项横断面研究是在1170名护理专业学生的在线参与下进行的。确定卫生专业人员报告虐待儿童行为态度的量表与人口统计信息问题一起使用。结论护理专业学生报告虐待儿童行为ACAS评分平均。年龄较小、学业成绩不佳、怀疑临床实践中存在虐待和忽视儿童的情况以及男性与较高的ACAS分数独立相关。因此,护理专业学生的教育项目应侧重于改善他们对报告虐待和忽视儿童的态度。
