“…As Avakame (1998) illustrates, this model suggests that exposure to violent behaviors within the family can result in a development of aggressive or violent conduct in adulthood (Avakame, 1998). This kind of victimization also indirectly impacts society, becoming a financial burden to the entire community (Hamilton-Giachritsis, Peixoto, & Melo, 2011).…”

Abstract. The present review aims to address child abuse, a phenomenon to which society has become more aware and directed more efforts, and the role that health and education professionals can play in its prevention and intervention. Based on the premise that professionals with a primary role of working with children, who may have the first contact with them after a situation of abuse, are mostly in the fields of health and education, it is important to reflect on their practices in these cases, which have particular relevance in order to avoid potential situations of secondary victimization, contamination of speech, or even withdrawal of revelation. This review examines the preparation of these professionals to address the allegedly abused child and to report abuse if they feel fit to take appropriate action, focuses mainly on the context of Portugal. What the literature shows is that there are still difficulties in making decisions and taking action in situations where abuse is suspected, based on physical or behavioral evidence from the child, or before his/her disclosure. Further studies are needed on the knowledge of the actions to be taken, and on the actions taken before there is a referral to the competent entities by these professionals. Moreover, there is a discussion on the need to develop training as well as brief and structured protocols for action, in this first line of intervention, when facing potential situations of child abuse.

Çocuk istismarı ve ihmali, özellikle son yıllarda ruh sağlığı alanında çalışan profesyoneller için bir endişe kaynağı olmuştur. İlgili literatürde çocuk istismarını anlamak, istismara yol açan risk faktörlerini tanımlamak ve çocuğa yönelik istismarı önlemek için çeşitli yaklaşımlar bulunmaktadır. Ne yazık ki, bu yaklaşımların genellikle çocuk istismarı gibi karmaşık bir sosyal sorunu anlamak ve ortadan kaldırmak için yetersiz kaldığı görülmektedir. Son yıllarda, çocuk istismarının etiyolojisi ve süreçlerini açıklamak üzere daha kapsamlı bir yaklaşım olan ekolojik modelin ilgili literatüre dahil edildiği dikkat çekmektedir. Ekolojik yaklaşıma göre çocuk istismarı, tek başına hareket eden bir etkinin değil, çok sayıda faktörün etkileşimi sonucunda meydana gelir. İstismara yönelik araştırma ve uygulamaları yürütmek için sistematik bir çerçeve sağlayan bu model, çocuk istismarı ve ihmalini anlamaya katkı sağlayan en kapsamlı modeldir. Bu çalışmada çocuk istismarı olgusu ekolojik model çerçevesinde değerlendirilmekte ve bu kapsamda alanda çalışan uzmanlara makro, mezo ve mikro düzeyde pratik öneriler sunulmaktadır.
