摘要

医学上的儿童虐待和忽视是一系列可能导致儿童显著发病率和死亡率的疾病的一部分。认识到这些形式的虐待儿童对防止伤害至关重要。牙医应该熟悉诊断和报告儿童虐待的框架,因为口腔面部复合体是显示虐待迹象的主要解剖区域。目的:本横断面研究的目的是评估印度牙医对儿童虐待的知识、意识和经验,以及他们作为主要响应者的作用。方法:在印度的牙医中发放一份包含16个问题的自填问卷并收集回复。调查问卷的问题包括牙医在儿童虐待鉴定、报告、法律程序和改善目前情况的建议方面的知识、意识和经验。对收集到的数据进行统计分析。结果共有203名牙医通过网络平台参与问卷调查。其中78.3%为女性,65.3%有过机构实习。虽然大多数人(72.4%)对识别虐待儿童的指标有信心,但报告的知识却令人震惊。98%的参与者表示需要全面的教育和培训。结论在本研究中,对指标的了解与报告可疑病例的信心之间存在显著差距。在需要时采取适当的干预措施需要支助机构的参与,并需要政府和地方两级的资金。

Child abuse: knowledge, awareness, and experience among dentists in India
Abstract Background Medical child abuse and neglect are part of a spectrum of conditions that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality in children. Recognition of these forms of child maltreatment is crucial to prevent harm. Dentists should have familiarity with the framework for diagnosing and reporting child abuse as the orofacial complex is the prime anatomical region to show any signs of abuse. AIM: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess the knowledge, awareness, and experience of dentists in India on child abuse and their role as primary responders. METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire comprising 16 questions was distributed among dentists in India and responses were collected. The questionnaire included questions on the knowledge, awareness, and experience of dentists in child abuse identification, reporting, legal proceedings, and proposals for the betterment of the current scenario. The data collected were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 203 dentists responded to the questionnaires through online platforms. Among them, 78.3% were females, and 65.3% had an institutional practice. While the majority (72.4%) were confident in identifying the indicators of child abuse, the knowledge on reporting was alarming. 98% of participants expressed their need for comprehensive education and training. Conclusion The gap between the knowledge about indicators and the confidence to report suspicious cases are notable in this study. Adequate interventions in the hour of need require the involvement of support agencies and funding at both government and local levels.
