Purpose: This study aimed to investigate child abuse awareness and reporting intention among nursing and education students and correlations among the variables involved. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by administering an online questionnaire to 70 nursing college students and 70 education college students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-squared test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson's correlation in SPSS 21.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY). Results: The mean score of child abuse awareness was $3.61{pm}0.32$ for nursing students and $3.60{pm}0.36$ for education students. The mean score of reporting intention was $5.65{pm}0.90$ for nursing students and $5.38{pm}1.03$ for education students. Females presented higher scores than males in the awareness of sexual abuse. The awareness of emotional abuse was higher in students who knew of reporting obligations or who had experienced abuse. Child abuse awareness and reporting intention were significantly positively correlated. Also, the number of times having received child abuse education was correlated with reporting intention in both mild and severe cases of abuse. Conclusion: Reporting intention is not only related to having received education, but also to the frequency of that education. Child abuse education is important to increase reporting intention and should be delivered repeatedly.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the current state of interventions for abused children and their effectiveness by using a systemic review.Methods: Published intervention studies were identified through MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, DBpia, RISS, and Kiss DB. Eligible studies included articles published between 2009 and 2019 in English and Korean.Results: A total of 28 studies were selected for this review. The intervention elements of 28 selected studies were categorized into 4 themes. The extracted intervention elements were divided into the themes of patient & situation-specific intervention, strengthen parent-child coping capacity and interaction, applying group intervention and integrated intervention, Linkage with community resource and multidisciplinary approach.Conclusions: The results demonstrate that social and psychological health of abused children has positively changed through these interventions. Therefore, it is important to implement treatment through active intervention aimed at helping the affected children.
