Abstract

Child abuse and neglect (CAN) medical experts provide specialized multidisciplinary care to children when there is concern for maltreatment. Their clinical notes contain valuable information on child- and family-level factors, clinical concerns, and service placements that may inform the needed supports for the family. We created and implemented a coding system for data abstraction from these notes. Participants were 1,397 children ages 0-17 years referred for a consultation with a CAN medical provider at an urban teaching and research hospital between March 2013 and December 2017. Coding themes were developed using an interdisciplinary team-based approach to qualitative analysis, and descriptive results are presented using a developmental-contextual framework. This study demonstrates the potential value of developing a coding system to assess characteristics and patterns from CAN medical provider notes, which could be helpful in improving quality of care and prevention and detection of child abuse.

虐待和忽视儿童的医疗评估咨询笔记告诉研究人员和临床医生什么？

虐待和忽视儿童（CAN）医学专家在担心虐待时为儿童提供专业的多学科护理。他们的临床笔记包含了关于儿童和家庭层面因素、临床问题和服务安置的宝贵信息，这些信息可能会为家庭所需的支持提供信息。我们创建并实现了一个编码系统，用于从这些注释中提取数据。参与者是1397名0-17岁的儿童，他们在2013年3月至2017年12月期间被转诊到城市教学和研究医院接受CAN医疗提供者的咨询。编码主题是使用基于跨学科团队的定性分析方法开发的，描述性结果是使用开发上下文框架呈现的。这项研究证明了开发一个编码系统来评估CAN医疗提供者笔记中的特征和模式的潜在价值，这可能有助于提高护理质量以及预防和检测虐待儿童行为。
