Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Child abuse is a severe issue that impacts medical professionals and patients globally. It can lead to discomfort, risk, or even the demise of a child. One of the most significant facets of a doctor\'s work involves providing aid to those in need; since children are more dependent on others for care and safety, they should receive attention that is even more special in quality. Hence, this study aims to assess the views, professional experiences, and comprehension of Saudi Arabian medical students regarding child abuse and neglect (CAN).
METHODS: This study was carried out at Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital. It involved 65 students who were either victims of child abuse or the relatives/family members of child abuse victims.
RESULTS: The participants\' awareness of several critical components of CAN was considerable. However, their understanding regarding the reporting of CAN cases was rather meager. Furthermore, their views of and professional experience with CAN were not excellent in terms of quality.
CONCLUSIONS: Saudi Arabia should implement an extensive plan to prevent the abuse of children at any level, given the nation\'s clinical experience and expertise in this field. The nation\'s pediatricians should direct as well as assist in this process, thereby playing a major role in preventing and addressing CAN cases.
摘要:
背景:虐待儿童是影响全球医疗专业人员和患者的严重问题。它会导致不适,风险,甚至一个孩子的死亡。医生工作中最重要的方面之一是为有需要的人提供援助;因为儿童更依赖他人的护理和安全,他们应该受到质量更特别的关注。因此,这项研究旨在评估意见,专业经验,沙特阿拉伯医学生对儿童虐待和忽视(CAN)的理解。
方法:本研究在SolimanFakeeh医院进行。它涉及65名学生,他们要么是虐待儿童的受害者,要么是虐待儿童受害者的亲属/家庭成员。
结果:参与者对CAN的几个关键组件的认识是相当大的。然而,他们对CAN病例报告的理解相当薄弱。此外,他们对CAN的看法和专业经验在质量方面并不出色。
结论:沙特阿拉伯应实施一项广泛的计划,以防止在任何程度上虐待儿童,考虑到国家在这一领域的临床经验和专业知识。国家的儿科医生应该指导和协助这个过程,从而在预防和解决CAN案件中发挥重要作用。
