“…The research results confirm that people behave based on their attitudes, and in fact, many people's daily behaviors are influenced by their attitudes (Asadollahi et al, 2015). These studies have confirmed the relationship between attitude and behavior.…”

Child abuse is a widespread social phenomenon with life-long severe consequences. Kindergarten teachers can follow up on this issue by constantly interacting with children and families in case of family dysfunction. This study investigated the knowledge, attitude and performance of kindergarten teachers in Tehran in 2022. The current study was descriptive; the statistical population included all kindergarten teacher certificate holders from the welfare organization. Subjects were selected by stratified (random) sampling from educational centers for kindergarten teacher courses under the supervision of welfare organizations that had received certificates. The sample size was 350 people, and the data collection tool was a questionnaire. The data was analyzed with SPSS version 22 software. The findings showed that the knowledge and awareness of 66.9% of the teachers regarding misbehaving with a good child and the attitude of 54.9% of them are at the desired level. Also, the performance of 88.1% of them in facing child abuse was poor and average. The results of this study showed that kindergarten teachers had a good knowledge of child abuse, a favorable attitude toward dealing with child abuse, and a poor performance in dealing with child abuse. The weak performance may be due to fewer training courses, fear of marginal issues of dealing with child abuse, or the lack of clear legal guidelines for dealing with child abuse.

“…Parents’ attitude toward CM is a critical predictive factor of parental child abuse behavior (Stith et al, 2009). Several studies have shown that parents with more positive beliefs or values toward CM tend to show more child abusive behaviors than parents with a negative attitude (Asadollahi et al, 2016; Ateah & Durrant, 2005; Bower-Russa, 2005; Chavis et al, 2013; Stith et al, 2009; Vittrup et al, 2006). For this reason, a number of studies on CM prevention used instruments to measure parents’ attitude toward CM as an outcome measure to establish whether the programs being evaluated are effective (Chen & Chan, 2016; Gershoff et al, 2017; Holden et al, 2014; Voisine & Baker, 2012).…”

Aims: Child maltreatment (CM) is a serious public health issue, affecting over half of all children globally. Although most CM is perpetrated by parents or caregivers and their reports of CM is more accurate than professionals or children, parent or caregiver report instruments measuring CM have never been systematically evaluated for their content validity, the most important psychometric property. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the content validity of all current parent or caregiver report CM instruments. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in CINAHL, Embase, ERIC, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Sociological Abstracts; gray literature was retrieved through reference checking. Eligible studies needed to report on content validity of instruments measuring CM perpetrated and reported by parents or caregivers. The quality of studies and content validity of the instruments were evaluated using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments guidelines. Results: Fifteen studies reported on the content validity of 15 identified instruments. The study quality was generally poor. The content validity of the instruments was overall sufficient, but most instruments did not provide high-quality evidence for content validity. Conclusions: Most instruments included in this review showed promising content validity. The International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect Child Abuse Screening Tool for use in Trial appears to be the most promising, followed by the Family Maltreatment–Child Abuse criteria. However, firm conclusions cannot be drawn due to the low quality of evidence for content validity. Further studies are required to evaluate the remaining psychometric properties for recommending parent or caregiver report CM instruments.

“…Also, many instances of child abuse stem from parents', especially mothers', insufficient knowledge about how to properly interact with their children and the consequences of this phenomenon. It is worth mentioning that in some cases, parents hold incorrect beliefs and attitudes that legitimize abusive behaviors (Asadollahi et al, 2016). Therefore, since a significant portion of abuse against children is perpetrated by their mothers, to control the level of violence against children, parents must be directly educated about the precursors and consequences of child abuse to prevent this problem.…”

Objective: This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a child abuse prevention training method on the tendency towards child abuse and parental self-efficacy in mothers with a history of committing child abuse in the city of Isfahan. Methods and Materials: This applied research was of a quasi-experimental type, conducted with a pre-test, post-test, and a 2-month follow-up with a control group. The population in this study included all clients of the social emergency centers in Isfahan in the year 2023, from which 30 mothers with a history of child abuse interested in participating were selected using purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Participants from both groups completed the Child Abuse Tendency (CAT) and Parental Self-Efficacy (PSE) questionnaires at the pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up stages. The experimental group received eight 90-minute sessions of child abuse prevention training. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and the repeated measures analysis of variance method. Findings: The results of the repeated measures analysis of variance indicated that child abuse prevention training effectively reduces the tendency towards child abuse (F=28.45) and also increases the self-efficacy (F=55.73) of mothers with a history of child abuse (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be said that to reduce the tendency towards child abuse and improve the self-efficacy of mothers with a history of child abuse, the child abuse prevention training method can be used.
