“…Thulin et al 2019; Reitsema & Grietens, 2016;Brennan & McElvaney, 2020;Jensen et al, 2005) have shown, disclosures of both CPA and CSA are often facilitated by addressing the topic at school or watching a TV program dealing with abuse. In addition, if the recipients of disclosure are peers (as they often are), they are probably faced with a moral dilemma of not disclosing confidential information and need guidance on how to report to a trusted adult (McGuire & London, 2020).…”

“…Possible differences in disclosure patterns have also been found. A recent retrospective study by McGuire and London (2020) reported higher CSA disclosure rates compared to CPA disclosure rates. In contrast, Lev-Wiesel and First (2018) have concluded that CSA victims are more reluctant to disclose than victims of other forms of abuse, and that boys are more reluctant to disclose all forms of abuse than girls.…”

Few studies have explored the disclosure of child physical abuse although child sexual abuse disclosure has been widely studied and debated for years. The present study explores the characteristics of child physical abuse disclosures and compares them to previously published findings on child sexual abuse disclosure from the same data. The data consist of a representative sample of 11,364 sixth and ninth graders. Participants responded to a wide variety of questions concerning experiences of violence, including child physical abuse and child sexual abuse, in the Finnish Child Victim Survey conducted in 2013. Within this sample, the prevalence of child physical abuse was 4.1%. Children reporting abuse experiences also responded to questions regarding disclosure, reactions encountered during disclosure, and potential reasons for nondisclosure. Findings show that most of the children who disclosed physical violence had disclosed to their mother. The overall disclosure rate of child physical abuse was 74%. However, only 42% had disclosed to adults, and even fewer had reported their experiences to authorities (12%). The most common reason for nondisclosure was that the youth did not consider the experience sufficiently serious to report (53%). These findings were largely in line with the child sexual abuse disclosure rates in our previous study. Analyses of variables associated with disclosing to an adult indicate that the strongest factors predicting disclosure to an adult are younger age, female gender, no previous experiences of child physical abuse, and parents knowing who their child spends her or his spare time with. Implications for further research and practice are discussed.

“…This also causes situations that lead to a lack of attention and result in negligence or abandonment. question traditional family models based on a culture of patriarchy from which serious consequences derive (Alonso-Gutié rrez et al, 2018;Bernal, Garcí a-Álvarez, & Arteaga, 2018;McGuire & London, 2020). In this way, domestic violence can also be called vertical and horizontal.…”

Family violence is one of the social problems that most concerns citizens today. Different subtypes of this violence continue to proliferate in the family context such as gender violence and child abuse. However, in recent years there has been an increase in cases of abuse of adolescent children towards their parents, giving rise to the phenomenon of child to parent violence. In order to analyse the scientific productivity of family violence, a bibliometric analysis was carried out. 679 scientific articles published from the date of origin of the subject to 2019 were analysed through the application of various bibliometric indicators. The results showed that the productivity on domestic violence is currently insufficient due to the existence of different types of violence that take place in the family nucleus and whose substantial elements differ from each other. Therefore, the need to continue contributing to research in this area of knowledge is reiterated.

“…En Costa Rica esta prevalencia es de 32,2% (1). Según las encuestas de la Sociedad Nacional para la Prevención de la Crueldad contra los Niños, aproximadamente uno de cada veinte niños experimenta abuso sexual por contacto físico, de los cuales muchos no lo revelan y solo del 10 al 15% de los casos llega a las autoridades (3,9). Quienes lo sufren son principalmente mujeres entre los 10 y 14 años (10).…”

El abuso sexual infantil es un problema con alta prevalencia tanto en Costa Rica como a nivel mundial. El mismo puede presentarse con cambios en el comportamiento, signos externos al examen físico, o bien ser silencioso y revelarse por medio de la divulgación por parte de la víctima. El médico y demás personal de salud deben desempeñar una serie de diversas funciones para abordar estos casos, entre ellas diagnosticar el abuso y descartar diagnósticos diferenciales, informar a los servicios de protección infantil, evaluar y tratar las posibles infecciones de transmisión sexual, brindar apoyo y tranquilidad a los niños y sus familias, así como aconsejar a los padres y niños sobre formas de ayudar a mantenerse a salvo del abuso sexual. De esta forma, se logra una intervención integral de la víctima y su entorno que favorezca un mejor pronóstico.
