“…However, in a study by Orhon et al (17), 40% of parents, 56% of paediatricians and 56.5% of medical school students viewed beating as an acceptable method for disciplining a child. In the same study, burning a child with a cigarette was not seen as a reportable incident by 2.6% of paediatricians and 2.8% of medical school students (17).…”

Background:In order to diagnose child abuse, physicians need to consider the possibility of abuse in every child they encounter, have sufficient information about the topic and manage the cases according to current law.Aims:To determine the knowledge level of physicians on child abuse and to learn their opinions about the procedures when they suspect child abuse.Study Design:A questionnaire (cross-sectional) study.Methods:A detailed questionnaire was applied to 390 physicians of whom 233 were general practitioners. The first part of the questionnaire included demographic variables (age, gender, occupational experience) and the frequency of child physical abuse cases encountered, since that is the most easily diagnosed and proven form of abuse. The second part consisted of 32 questions about diagnosis of physical child abuse and procedures during the follow-up of the cases. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 18.0.Results:Of the participating physicians, 47.4% (n=185) were female and only 13.1% of the physicians had some kind of postgraduate training on child abuse. The correct response rate of specialists compared to general practitioners was significantly higher. A total of 263 (72.3%) physicians thought that there was a specific law on physical child abuse in the Turkish Republic. More than two-thirds of physicians thought that reporting should only be addressed to Social Services and physicians should not be obliged to report to law enforcement.Conclusion:The results of the present study adds to the already known necessity for better training of physicians about physical child abuse and the need to refresh their knowledge through postgraduate courses. According to current regulations, it is obligatory to report abuse cases to the public prosecutor and/or police, therefore physicians also need training in respect of the legal status and medico-legal approach to these cases.

“…Araştırmacılar anne-babalığın kültüre göre şekillendiğini (Sen, Yavuz-Muren ve Yağmurlu, 2014) geleneksel kültürlerin çocuklar üzerinde yüksek düzeyde kontrolü olduğunu vurgulamaktadırlar (Kağıtçıbaşı, 1970). Bu noktadan hareketle, Türkiye'de kültürel ve geleneksel normlar fiziksel cezalandırma ile ilişkili olup (Orhon, Ulukol, Bingoler ve Gülnar, 2006;Yağmurlu ve Sanson, 2009) anne-babalar arasında cezalandırma yaygındır. Özellikle erkek çocuklara umursamamazlık ve aşırı tepki yöntemleri daha fazla uygulanmaktadır (Tazeoğlu, 2011).…”

“…In a study performed in Turkey, 3,1% of the families reported that they considered slapping as a behavior which can be practiced for dicipline. This rate was found to be 18.5% for beating the hand and 26,2% for beating the gluteal area (14). Therefore, parents should be educated about child raising and dicipline methods.…”

Original Article Sum maryAim: Cases of child abuse and neglect (CAN) should be ideally managed by a multidisciplinary team. In the present study, our aim was to review the demographic and clinical features of cases of child abuse and neglect followed-up by the Child Protection Team of Ege University, İzmir, Turkey. Material and Method:The data of the cases of CAN referred to the multidisciplinary team of Ege University between August 2009 and 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the cases were summarized. Results: There were a total of 89 CAN cases evaluated by the team in our hospital during the last 12 months. The age of the subjects ranged from 1 to 17 years, and 43 (48.3%) of them were male, while 46 (51.7%) were female The sexual, physical and emotional abuse rates were 49%, 25% and 11% respectively, while 14% of them were diagnosed as pure neglect cases. The fathers were offenders in 67% of the cases of physical abuse and in 9% of the cases of sexual abuse. However, an extra-familial person was the perpetrator in 59% of the cases of sexual abuse. Conclusions: Recently, the number of reported CAN cases in our country has increased after the increase in the awareness of the public about this subject and multidisciplinary child protection teams have been established within many Education and University hospitals. However, there is a long way to go, although remarkable improvements have been observed in the last decade. (Turk Arch Ped 2012; 47: 121-5)
