“…This finding corroborates the results of other studies 31,32 in demonstrating that neglected groups tend to experience more economic difficulties. For instance, a child may be neglected through the non-satisfaction of the child's basic needs due to family poverty 33 .…”

Background: Maternal depression may be a risk factor for childhood trauma (CT), with resultant offspring development of mood disorders (MD) in adult life. Objective: To verify the relationship between maternal depression (as a risk factor for childhood trauma) and mood disorders in young adults. Methods: The sample was composed of 164 young adults and their mothers. Maternal depression was identified through the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.). Mood Disorders in the young adults were confirmed with the Structured Interview for the DSM-IV (SCID), whereas the CT was evaluated using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). Results: In the group of young adults with MD, individuals who had depressed mothers presented higher mean scores of CT in comparison to the ones who did not have mothers with Depression (p < 0.005). Childhood trauma was also associated with lower social classes (p < 0.005). In the group of young adults without MD, the only variable that was associated with CT was the young adult's (not) current work (p < 0.005). Discussion: Maternal depression was considered to be a risk factor for CT and MD in young adults. Thus, preventing and treating maternal psychiatric disorders may diminish the risk of offspring childhood trauma, and, consequently, avoid negative effects in the offspring's adult life.

“…It has been estimated that neglected children experience even more problems later in life than those who have been physically abused. This type of passive violence against children is also more common than active violence (Dubowitz et al, 1993;Gaudin et al, 1996).…”

The purpose of this study was to analyse and describe the experiences of adolescents who had been maltreated by their parents in childhood. Child maltreatment was defined as physical, psychological or sexual abuse or neglect caused by parents or other primary caregivers of the child. Data were collected from seven adolescents, aged 14-19 years, who had been maltreated within their family of origin for many years. Interviews employed broad themes pertaining to family life, maltreatment experiences and the family's strengths and problems. The data were analysed by qualitative content analysis. The analysis resulted in a description of the adolescents' experiences of maltreatment and of the consequences of maltreatment as perceived by the young people themselves. The consequences included connections between maltreatment and family life and direct consequences for the adolescents themselves. These results aid our understanding of child maltreatment and its manifestations from the viewpoint of adolescents within the family. An improved understanding of their views should make it possible to develop nursing care of these children and their families as part of multidisciplinary work. The role of nursing is central to this work, because one of the goals of nursing is to improve the well-being of families and individuals. However, further research is still needed to add to our knowledge of child maltreatment from the adolescents' viewpoint.

“…Çocuğun istismarından farklı olarak; ihmal, erişkinin pasif kalmasından kaynaklanan bir eylemdir. 9,10 Çocuğun fiziksel ve psikolojik sağlığı için gerekli önlemleri almamak, güvenli-ğini sağlamamak, bedenen ve ruhen gelişmesi için gerekli olanaklardan yoksun bırakmak çocuk ihmalinin türlerinden bazılarıdır. KAMU GÖREVLİSİNİN SUÇU BİLDİRMEMESİ SUÇU 5237 sayılı Türk Ceza Kanunu'nun yürürlüğe konulması ile birlikte, 765 sayılı kanunda belirtilen "memur" kavramının kullanımı bırakılmış, yerine "kamu görevlisi" kavramı kullanılmaya başlanmış-tır.…”

Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Bu araştırma, İstanbul Üniversitesi Adli Tıp Enstitüsü Sosyal Bilimler Ana Bilim Dalında yürütülmüş bir tezli yüksek lisans çalışmasından üretilmiştir. Çocuğun istismar ve ihmalininin yetkili mercilere bildirimi, ülkemizde yasal olarak zorunlu kılınmıştır. Türk Ceza Kanunu'nun 278 ve 279. Maddeleri bildirim yükümlülüğü ile ilgili açıklamalar içermektedir. Bu araştırmada, çocuğun istismarı ve ihmalini bildirmekle yükümlü bir meslek grubu olan öğretmenlerin tutumları değerlendirilmiştir. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Araştırma, tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile öğretmenlerin üye olduğu çevrim içi meslek gruplarında yürütülmüş ve çalışmaya 531 kişi katılmıştır. Araştırma-nın yürütülmesi için İstanbul Üniversitesi Cerrahpaşa Tıp Fakültesi Etik Kurulundan izin alınmış ve katılımcılara dokuz maddelik sosyodemografik bilgi formu ve 15 maddelik Bildirim Yükümlü-lüğü Tutum Anketi uygulaması yapılmıştır. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Çalışmamızın sonuçları, öğretmenlerin ve eğitimcilerin zorunlu bildirime karşı olumlu bir tutuma sahip olduklarını, ancak bilgi eksikliği yaşadıklarını göstermektedir. Öğretmen ve eğitim yöneticilerinin çocuk istismarı ve ihmalinin bildirimi konusunda olumlu tutumlara sahip olduğu, ancak bildirim süreci ve sistemini değerlendirmede kararsızlıklar yaşadıkları, bildirim sürecine ilişkin yol haritalarının net olmadığı görülmektedir. S So on nu uç ç: : Öğretmenler ve eğitim yöneticileri için hazırlanan hizmet içi eğitim programlarında, çocu-ğun istismar ve ihmaline önem verilmesi, önleme ve müdahale yöntemleri ve konunun hukuki boyutuyla ilgili eğitimlerin fayda sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Çocuk istismarı ve ihmali konulu bir öğretmen kılavuzunun hazırlanması ve öğretmen ve eğitim yöneticilerinin kullanımına sunulması, karşılaşılan durumları değerlendirmeyi kolaylaştırabilir, suçu bildirmeme davranışının azaltılma-sına ve bildirim süreci ile ilgili bildirimi yapan kişiye bir yol haritası çizerek kaygı düzeyini azaltmaya yardımcı olabilmektedir.A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Zorunlu bildirim; çocuk istismarı; eğitim; tutum.A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : This study was produced by a thesis graduate study carried out in Istanbul University, Institute of Forensic Medicine, and Department of Social Sciences. Notification to the competent authorities is legally mandated in our country since the child's neglect and abuse is a crime. 278 and 279 of the Turkish Penal Code contain explanations regarding the notification obligation. In this study, the attitudes of teachers towards the reporting of child abuse and neglect were examined.
