Developing an assessment tool for nurses to identify the potential risk of child abuse and neglect

这项研究旨在为护士开发一种工具来评估虐待儿童的潜在风险。我们对儿科、急诊科、儿科门诊部、急诊科、卫生院的护士、公共卫生护士等12人进行了问卷调查，提取了与儿童及其家人的言语和行为有关的被认定为虐待儿童迹象的因素。随后，我们对护士进行了问卷调查，了解其重要性程度。在日本500张床位以上的医院和儿科医院中，向72家医院的729名护士发出问卷，同意配合调查，并通过邮寄的方式收回问卷。我们收到了326名受访者的答复(回复率为44.7%)。根据受访者重视关注儿童和家庭观察到的行为的因素，我们制定了一份评估有虐待儿童潜在风险的家庭的工具的草案提案。

This study aimed to develop a tool for nurses to assess the potential risk of child abuse. We conducted a survey by interviewing 12 people comprised of nurses and public health nurses working on children's and emergency wards, and in pediatric outpatient departments, emergency outpatient departments, and health centers, and extracted the factors related to children's and their families' speech and behavior recognized as signs of child abuse. Following that, we conducted a questionnaire survey involving nurses, on the degree of importance. Among the hospitals with or more 500 beds and pediatric hospitals in Japan, we sent the questionnaire to 729 nurses working at 72 hospitals that consented to cooperating with the survey, and collected thequestionnaire by mail. We received answers from 326 respondents (response rate of44.7%). In accordance with the factors to which the respondents attached importanceconcerning observed behaviors of children and the families, we created a draftproposal for a tool to assess families with the potential risk of abusing their children.
