Phenomenon Of Child Abuse Research Articles

Opiekun dziecka jako sprawca urazu nieprzypadkowego w obrębie uzębienia. Część I. Identyfikacja zjawiska w aspekcie środowiskowym

Introduction. The problem of non-accidental injury has long been analyzed as a public health problem generating high social and economic costs. Aim. The aim of the study is to present views on the etiology of occurrence of the phenomenon of child abuse and its identification in order to take effective interventions interrupting the phenomenon of improper handling of a child. Material and methods. The publications in the PubMed scientific database were reviewed by applying the search criteria for the following keywords in Polish and English: “non-accidental injuries”, “children and adolescents”, “child abuse”, “identification of the phenomenon”, “perpetrator’s psychological profile”, “improper handling of the child”, “social and economic costs”, “public health”. Results. Medical community plays an important role in diagnosing non-accidental injuries. For a dental team, that may be dealing with physical violence injuries, correctly taken medical history and compliance of information provided by the child’s caregiver with visible head and neck post-traumatic injuries is the key factor to differentiate the origins of the trauma. By recognising the multifaceted risk factors in regards to child abuse (resulting due to the environment, the structure of the family, the life situation of the parent or directly related to the child), medical team will be required to intervene to stop child abuse. Conclusions. The authors of studies from various countries agree that despite many publications on the occurrence of the phenomenon of improper handling of a child, there is a need to constantly work on the competences of professionals in the child’s environment – including the dental environment, which can and should effectively respond to violence against children.

The Effects Of Child Abuse On The Victims And The Community – A Critical Analysis Of Amma Darko’s Faceless And Lawrence Darmani’s Grief Child

This paper looks at the phenomenon of child abuse as presented in Amma Darko’s Faceless and Lawrence Darmani’s Grief Child. The work establishes the fact that the phenomenon of child abuse is prevalent in Africa in general, and in Ghana in particular. These two novels , afore-mentioned, have been discussed critically bringing out, inter alia, what child abuse is, the various types of child abuse, the causal factors and the effects of child abuse on both the abused child and the community as a whole. Mention has been made of possible preventive measures which ought to be put in place to curb this social menace.

Le rôle de la relation conjugale dans l’abus et la négligence d’enfants : vers une étude écologique

The phenomenon of child abuse and neglect has always existed in Western society. Yet, it is only recently that clinicians and researchers have taken a serious look at these problems. This ever growing interest has come about from not only the stunning number of cases identified each year, but also by the extent and gravity of consequences observed among children. Several professionals interested by the issue have put forward a great number of etiological factors to try to explain abuse and neglect within the family unit. However, when assessing the proposed theoretical models (psychiatric/psychological, sociological, systemic), it appears that certain simple factors can play a large role, for instance the history behind parental development, the quality of marital relations, the child-parent relation, the stress and the extent of the social network, but none of these can clearly differentiate abusive families from non abusive families. It seems however that these different explicative factors would be even more valuable if they were considered in interaction rather than taken individually. Inspired by the ecological framework proposed by Bronfenbrenner (1977, 1979), Belsky (1980, 1984) as well as Cicchetti and Rizley (1981) have also developed a model that simultaneously takes into account all of these factors and their interaction.

The Prevalence of Child Abuse and Neglect in our society: A case study of teachers in Enugu State of Nigeria.

There has heen a growing increase of the phenomenon of child abuse and neglect in this country as shown by the media and concerned Non-Governmental Organisations (N G 0.s) in recent times. As a way of curtailing this, the study was thus conceived. Using eighty four female teachers and thirty six male teachers who are currently working in 6 out of the 27 secondary schools in Enugu, capital city of Enugu State, the researchers found that a significant difference existed between the perception of males and female teachers on the causes and end results of child abuse and neglect.

Attitudes & Awareness to Child Abuse: of 40 Greek second year university students and their parents and 40 Greek early school leavers and their parents in Melbourne

AbstractThe phenomenon of child abuse was unexplored in Greece until the late 1970’s when the legal, social and medical professions became aware of the growing problem which resulted in the passing of a new law. Studies on child abuse are almost non-existent at present. Maroulis claimed that corporal punishment in the Greek culture can be perceived as an acceptable way of shaping a child’s behaviour. As yet there is very little, if any, research undertaken in Australia on Greek people and their awareness to child abuse. Masselos’s 1981 account of the Greek Community in Brisbane cites only three cases of child abuse as having occurred. This account cannot be viewed as indicating a low prevalence. Education is regarded as one of the essential factors in making people aware of the problem of child abuse and teaching them what the needs and the requirements of children are. Two of the three authors of the present study are from the Greek community, and were most concerned to ascertain the sensitivity to child abuse in the largest ethnic community in Melbourne. This study was undertaken in the year of the campaign “When Love is Not Enough” was launched, 1982. In this study 240 subjects, 40 Greek second year university students and their parents and 40 Greek early school leavers and their parents were given a questionnaire to fill out. The questionnaire contained questions of awareness, attitudes and opinions to child abuse. The aim was to see whether these selected samples of Greek people in Victoria were aware of the problem of child abuse.

Some Facts and Fancies About Child Abuse

The main purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the phenomenon of child abuse. It is intended to present some of the main facts and findings insofar as they have emerged in clinical and empirical work as well as some of the speculations which are enmeshed in such work. Additionally it is the intention to place the topic into a wider socio-cultural context which must inevitably involve some comment on political and economic factors. Perhaps it should be added that having embarked on such a global approach this paper cannot do more than act as an introduction to the topic of child abuse. This however may serve as a means by which interest is aroused in it and concern shared over a phenomenon which is an embarrassment to any civilised society. This concern has been rekindled over the past decade. The use of the word “rekindled” is deliberate since the literature of the United Kingdom and the U.S.A. has, to my knowledge, not really ceased to cover this topic since the great debates and activities surrounding the formation of societies for the protection of children in both countries toward the close of the last century. More recently however, clinicians, particularly in America, pointed the way to a revival of concern in the causation of non-accidental injuries to young children and equally important, have generated an interest in prevention and generally management of the problem.
