This study with a selected sample of physicians was conducted to assess their awareness and knowledge of child abuse. Two thirds (66.7%) of all participants confirmed contact with obviously abused children in the course of their professional life, whereas 87.3% did not report any prior education or training in that field. In relation to general practitioners, pediatricians had significantly more contacts with abused children (p = 0.021) and more prior education (p = 0.012). Results indicate that physicians in rural regions of Austria possess basic knowledge. Better training and further specialization is needed to facilitate diagnosing, enhance reporting, strengthen cooperation with experts and reduce fears when handling abuse victims. Austria is a rich country with excellent health care and competitive research structures. However, child abuse research in Austria still has to fill gaps in order to keep up with international developments.

Material and Methods:Two hundred residents of pediatrics and 100 pediatricians working in university and education and research hospitals in the center of Ankara province and 250 practicioners working in primary health care centers were included in the study. A scale composed of five parts including history, physical examination, radiology, risk groups and symptoms was prepared to determine the level of knowledge of physician related with child abuse and neglect. The correct answers given to the questions included in the scale were added and knowledge scores for the subscales and the total score were calculated. Approval was obtained from Ankara University, Medical Faculty Ethics Committee for the study. The data were evaluated using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis test.Results: A total of 550 physicians (339 female and 221 male) were included in the study. The mean total knowledge score related with child abuse and neglect was found to be 12.4±4.5 in residents of pediatrics, 13.7±2.8 in pediatricians and 13.6±2.8 in practitioners. The level of knowledge was found to be significantly higher in women, married physicians, physicians who received education before and after graduation, physician who confronted with cases of abuse or suspicious abuse and made a legal notice.

“…Another issue is whether maltreatment should be defined by the behavior of the perpetrator, the experience of the child, or some combination of the two (Barnett et al 1993). Overall, researchers have arrived at a consensus that a clearer and more universal definition is needed for more accurate investigation of child maltreatment (Kerig and Fedorowicz 1999; Runyan et al 2005; Shor 1998). …”

This study investigated and compared the rates of child maltreatment as reported by parents and children. Self-reports of 1,093 children aged 12 to 18, which were matched with both parents’ records, were compared and analyzed in the study. The levels of agreement between parent and child reporting of various kinds of parental child maltreatment were low to moderate. Factors affecting the disagreement in reports were also investigated. Social desirability and violence approval were the common predictors of disagreement in father-child and mother-child reports, respectively. The low agreement between parent–child reports found in the present study highlights the need for the inclusion of both parent and child reports on maltreatment in future clinical screening and intervention programs.
