“…Mild: physical punishment beyond spanking, but without objects or fists and without marks or bruises; moderate: abuse with the use of objects, contact with fists, or contact resulting in marks or bruises, but not requiring medical treatment; severe: abuse that results in injuries requiring outpatient or hospital treatment ( 31 ).…”

BackgroundChild abuse is a phenomenon that confronts the child, family, and society with irretrievable physical and mental injuries, and its negative effects continue until adulthood.ObjectivesThe present study was conducted to identify and evaluate cases of abused children at a medical center.Patients and MethodsThis is a descriptive-analytic study. The subjects were all children and adolescents who were referred to Imam Hussein hospital within 6 months due to physical or psychiatric reasons and were diagnosed with child abuse and neglect by a child and adolescent psychiatrist. The number of these children was 73. Children and their parents were assessed by schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia (SADS), Kiddie-SADS, and child abuse and demographic questionnaires. The statistical methods of mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data.Results56 cases (76%) were physically abused, 53 cases (72.6%) were emotionally abused, and 3 cases (12.3%) were neglected. The most common psychiatric disorder in abused children was ADHD (65.8%). The next most common were oppositional defiant disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, general anxiety disorder, and enuresis. About 80% of the abused children had at least one psychiatric disorder. The most common psychiatric disorders in mothers were general anxiety disorder (34.8%) and depression (33.3%), and in fathers, it was substance abuse (19.7%).ConclusionsChild abuse is a common phenomenon that relates to psychiatric disorders in the abused child or abuser parents. It seems that on-time identification and appropriate interventions can prevent further negative consequences for the child, family, and society.

“…Some studies with clinical samples indicate that abused children and adolescents have higher levels of psychopathology than nonabused youth (Cavaiola and Schiff 1988;Green et al 1999;Kendall-Tackett et al 1993;Meyerson et al 2002;Naar-King et al 2002), but other studies have found that abuse was not related to symptomatology or suicidal behavior (Cohen et al 1996;Kumar et al 1996). Even when differences were observed, abused children had higher symptom levels on only a subset of measures and in many instances they did not differ on symptoms like depression or oppositional behavior that consistently differentiate abused and nonabused youth in clinical samples (Kendall-Tackett et al 1993).…”

“…A related issue is that a sizeable number of youth in clinical samples may have experienced both physical and sexual abuse. Clinical studies that have examined both forms of abuse have reported that approximately 25% of youth had been sexually and physically abused (Connor et al 2004;Green et al 1999, Meyerson et al 2002Naar-King et al 2002).…”

“…Information on this matter is sparse because few investigators have examined the combined effects of different forms of abuse, but some evidence suggests that youngsters who experience both forms of abuse exhibit greater dysfunction than youngsters who experience a single form of abuse (Green et al 1999;Naar-King et al 2002; but see Cohen et al 1996 for an exception).…”

Sex and Aggression: The Relationship Between Gender and Abuse Experience in Youngsters Referred to Residential Treatment

2008

We examined the relationship of gender and different forms of abuse experience on internalizing symptoms, externalizing symptoms, and IQ in a sample of 397 youngsters who were admitted to a residential treatment program. Three types of abuse experience were examined in this study: sexual abuse only, physical abuse only, and both sexual and physical abuse. Results indicate that girls exhibited higher levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms even though abuse experience was accounted for in the analyses. Moreover, youngsters who had experienced sexual abuse (but not physical abuse) exhibited higher levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms than youngsters who had not been abused. Implications for developing individualized interventions based on gender and abuse experience in residential treatment programs is discussed

“…If voluntary care is rejected, the AMK can report the family to child protection services that can take court action or arrange the child to be placed in care [19]. In view of the finding that longer duration of child maltreatment is associated with poorer outcomes, it is expected that if reporting leads to maltreatment being ended, or sufficient care being provided for child and family, this will benefit children’s mental health and quality of life, or at least contribute to minimizing adverse outcomes [4,20-23]. Although the AMKs play an important role in the Netherlands, the potential benefits and harms of AMK involvement on children’s mental health and quality of life has not yet been studied.…”

BackgroundChild maltreatment is recognized as a widespread problem with huge implications for mental health and quality of life. Studies have repeatedly shown that victims of child maltreatment report significantly more adverse life outcomes than non-victims. The main objective of the study is (1) to examine the mental health and quality of life of maltreated children over a 1.5 year period beginning shortly after a report has been filed with an Advies- en Meldpunt Kindermishandeling (AMK) (advice and reporting center on child abuse and neglect). Secondary objectives are: (2) to examine how relevant determinants influence the mental health and quality of life of maltreated children, and (3) to examine differences in mental health and quality of life outcomes when comparing families of Dutch origin with families originating from Morocco and Suriname.Methods/DesignA prospective study will be performed, in which parent–child dyads will be followed over a 1.5 year period. Participants will be recruited shortly after the report to the AMK and they will be asked to complete a questionnaire four times, at baseline and every six months thereafter. Data will be analyzed using a longitudinal multi-level analysis.DiscussionThe study is expected to yield evidence about the mental health and quality of life of maltreated children and about determinants that influence their mental health and quality of life outcomes. Strengths of this study are (1) the design which makes it possible to start examining outcomes shortly after or even during the actual maltreatment and to follow parent–child dyads for 1.5 years, and (2) asking children as informants about their own situation by making use of self-report questionnaires as much as possible. Limitations include the risks of selection bias and loss to follow-up during 1.5 years of data collection.Trial registrationNTR3674, funded by ZonMw, project 15700.2012.
