Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective To quantify the prevalence of neglect against the child and identify its associated factors, based on the cases reported in the state of Espírito Santo between 2011 and 2018. Methods Cross-sectional study with data reported in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) with all reported cases of child neglect from 2011 to 2018 in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The characteristics of the victim, author, and aggression were studied, and the associations were analyzed by Poisson regression. Results The frequency of neglect was 31.3%, being more prevalent in males (PR: 1.48; 95%CI: 1.34-1.63); for the age group of zero to two years (PR: 3.05; 95%CI: 2.65-3.51); among female aggressors (PR: 16.20; 95%CI: 9.98-26.32), and regarding the bond to the victim, we note the highest prevalence of parents/stepfathers (PR: 6.69; 95%CI: 4.16-10.74), both parents (PR: 4.41; 95%CI: 2.84-6.85) and mothers/stepmothers (PR: 2.94; 95%CI: 2.20-3.93). Conclusions and Implications for the practice The magnitude of child neglect in Espírito Santo was significant, showing the need to advance in the understanding of this phenomenon and in the implementation of expanded intersectoral public policies aimed at ensuring adequate conditions for growth and development in childhood.

巴西某州儿童忽视的患病率及相关因素

【摘要】目的根据2011年至2018年Espírito Santo州报告的病例，量化对儿童的忽视发生率，并确定其相关因素。方法对2011年至2018年巴西Espírito Santo州所有报告的儿童忽视病例进行横断面研究，数据来自法定疾病信息系统(SINAN)。研究了受害者、作者和攻击行为的特征，并利用泊松回归分析了三者之间的关联。结果忽视发生率为31.3%，以男性居多(PR: 1.48;95%置信区间:1.34—-1.63);0至2岁年龄组(PR: 3.05;95%置信区间:2.65—-3.51);在女性施暴者中(PR: 16.20;95%CI: 9.98-26.32)，关于与受害者的关系，我们注意到父母/继父的患病率最高(PR: 6.69;95%CI: 4.16-10.74)，父母双方(PR: 4.41;95%CI: 2.84-6.85)和母亲/继母(PR: 2.94;95%置信区间:2.20—-3.93)。在Espírito Santo，儿童被忽视的程度非常严重，这表明需要进一步了解这一现象，并执行旨在确保儿童成长和发展的充分条件的扩大的部门间公共政策。
