The aim of this cross-sectional and descriptive study was to determine the attitudes of nursing students in the baccalaureate program towards reporting child abuse. The study was conducted with a sample of 546 students. Data were collected via the ‘Individual Identification Form’ and the ‘Healthcare Provider Attitudes Towards Child Maltreatment Reporting Scale’ administered during the fall semester. It was found that nursing students had high scores on the Healthcare Provider Attitudes Towards Child Maltreatment Reporting Scale, especially female students who had higher scores. In addition, it was found that as the years of study increased, students showed a more positive attitude towards reporting child abuse and neglect. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between being pleased with choosing the nursing profession and reporting child abuse and that students who were pleased to choose the nursing profession had better awareness of child abuse. Nursing students have an important responsibility for early diagnosis of abuse as they are likely to encounter child abuse situations during clinical practice. This study shows that the participants have a high level of positive attitude towards reporting child abuse, but their concerns about reporting are at an average level.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to explore the positive and negative outcomes for clinicians working with CSA. Eighteen clinicians working across a range of services in Ireland and the United Kingdom participated in this study. All were involved in the management of CSA, and their ages ranged between 31 and 53 years (mean = 41.9 years). Participants were recruited through an opt-in regime following a targeted advertisement and email campaign. Semi-structured interviews were completed to explore clinicians' perceived experiences of the positive and negative outcomes of CSA work. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. The thematic analysis developed four themes and four subthemes. The first two were ‘Protecting the Clinician’ and ‘Fulfilment from CSA Work’, which identified participants' subjective understanding of what systemic supports and personal actions maintain their psychological and physical wellbeing. The third and fourth themes, ‘Intrapersonal Disruption’ and ‘The Multiple Challenges of CSA Work’, described the difficulties of working with CSA and the negative impact it can have for clinicians. Findings highlight the importance of supporting clinicians to develop protective strategies to manage the negative impact of CSA work while also acknowledging the positive outcomes, notably a sense of fulfilment associated with working in this specialist area.</p>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/car.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143120131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2019, Barnahus West in Galway, Ireland, was launched. Two additional services, Barnahus South and East, are in development. Nine senior professionals, across three internal services in a Dublin hospital and members of this organisations Barnahus steering group, participated in semistructured interviews on this topic. This reflexive thematic analysis, utilising the lenses of leadership, innovation and change, explores how already existing services based in this Dublin hospital may adapt and respond to facilitate this social innovation. Three themes were identified: Focus of Change Management, Barriers to Change and First Steps to Implementation. Recommendations include that a collective leadership approach is best suited to implementation of this change. The steering group would also benefit from utilising a formal change model to support their work. Small-scale testing of an initial cross-system response to CSA to inform wider implementation of systemic change is recommended.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143113608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire and a semistructured diagnostic instrument were used to investigate victimization experiences and psychiatric disorders, respectively. The majority of the subjects (68.8%) experienced victimization (verbal, relational or physical) by their peers. Only 45% (18/40) of the victims' parents were aware of their child's victimization status. Frequency of generalized anxiety disorder and self-reported anxiety scores were higher in those with more severe victimization. A binary logistic regression analysis for victimization yielded significant associations for having a single parent, a higher maternal educational level, a lower paternal educational level and higher depression scores. Psychiatric evaluation of young subjects with ASD should include questioning about bullying experiences. Because parents may not be aware of bullying experience, disclosing bullying experience only depending on the parental report may cause an underreport of bullying among young subjects with ASD.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"33 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
