“…However, teachers with one to ten years of experience knew more about the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights and the POSCO Act than teachers with more experience. Teachers with more experience seem likelier to report suspected CAN than teachers with low experience [ 24 , 32 , 33 ]. When comparing the attitudes of teachers based on their experiences during the first, second, and third intervals, all the study participants showed similar attitudes toward CAN [ 34 , 35 , 36 ].…”

Aim: To assess the awareness of schoolteachers from Andhra Pradesh towards child abuse and neglect (CAN) through pre- and post-educational intervention (audiovisual aid) questionnaires. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 300 schoolteachers using a 12-item questionnaire that was created using the standard focus group discussion method. Baseline awareness of CAN was assessed using the questionnaire. Subsequently, all the schoolteachers were educated regarding the various types of CAN and the process of reporting CAN using an audiovisual aid. The same questionnaire was re-administered to all the teachers immediately after the intervention and after three months. The data were statistically analyzed using Fisher’s exact test to compare the frequency and distribution of responses among the study participants at various intervals. Results: A statistically significant difference (p value < 0.05) was observed in the awareness of the schoolteachers regarding CAN compared to the baseline and immediately after the intervention. However, there was no statistically significant difference (p value > 0.05) between immediately after the intervention and three months. Conclusion: There is a need to have awareness among schoolteachers concerning CAN. However, after education through audiovisual aids, teachers’ awareness of CAN has been improved.

Objective Health professionals are expected to properly identify all the four dimensions of child abuse that are discussed as physical, sexual, emotional abuse, and neglect. This study was conducted to measure the impact of education given in the nursing department on the knowledge level of students about child neglect and abuse and to identify areas that require intervention. Materials and MethodsThe population of this study is 425 students studying in all four grades of the nursing department.A sample was not determined, those who volunteered to participate and completed the questionnaire forms of the study were included (n=313, 74%). A questionnaire form for socio-demographic information and scale by Uysal were used to collect data. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences programme was used for data analysis.Results Of the participants 64.9% were female and 74.4% did not want to receive an education on the topic. The mean total scale score was 244.92 ± 22.96 and the mean response to the items in the scale was 3.65. Compared with male students (3.59 ± 0.34), the mean score of female students (3.68 ± 0.33) was significantly higher (p = 0.020). Compared with other grades, the mean score of fourth grade students was significantly higher (p < 0.001). ConclusionIn the nursing education curriculum, topics related to child abuse and neglect should be included in each year. Higher participation of male students in these trainings should be ensured. Further studies on this topic should be conducted with students.

“… 9 Additionally, it is a legal requirement in numerous nations for pediatric healthcare professionals to notify the appropriate authorities when a case of child abuse is discovered. 9 When it comes to reporting child abuse cases, medical providers have occasionally run into issues. As a result, it is critical that medical personnel understand how to recognize and report suspected cases of child abuse and rely on their knowledge and expertise to do so.…”

Background Child abuse, especially when caused by the child’s parents or caregivers, can be either physical, psychological, and/or sexual. Pediatric nurses should be able to identify cases of child abuse, provide appropriate care, and address the issue. Nurses’ knowledge, attitudes in child abuse are essential in safeguarding the well-being and safety of those children. This study aimed to investigate pediatric nurses’ knowledge and attitude about child abuse and actions taken to address such abuse. Methods Seventy pediatric nurses working in one educational hospital in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia participated in the study. This study followed a quantitative design. A self-administrative questionnaire was distributed to pediatric nurses. A convenience sampling was followed to include the nurses who met the criteria. An adopted validated questionnaire was used for collecting data about nurses’ knowledge and attitudes regarding child abuse. The data was analyzed by SPSS with a descriptive analysis, independent t -tests or ANOVA test, and regression analysis. Results The descriptive results indicate that participants had adequate knowledge for identifying a child as a probable victim of child abuse. All participants agreed that an important role for nurses in managing and preventing child abuse is present. The study also indicated a favorable attitude of pediatric nurses toward child abuse. Linear regression analysis showed that nurses age between 31 and 40 years were positively associated with nurses’ knowledge of child abuse, nurses with fewer years of experience and nurses with experience in dealing with a victim of child abuse had a more favorable attitude. Conclusion The study concludes that pediatric nurses have adequate knowledge and a positive attitude toward child abuse. Middle age was positively associated with nurses’ knowledge of child abuse, while years of experience and experience in dealing with child abuse was inversely associated with nurses’ attitude.
