Повний текст джерелаDespite being mandated reporters by law, preschool teachers often fail to report suspicion of child abuse or neglect. Although research has been conducted regarding reasons why teachers do not report, no study has yet examined preschool teachers’ thinking as decisions are being made. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to examine the in-the-moment decision-making process of preschool teachers to report or not report cases of suspected child abuse or neglect. Three research questions guided this exploration of teachers’ responses to cases of possible child abuse or neglect, the reasons teachers give for their responses, and their confidence in the correctness of their decisions to report or not to report child abuse or neglect. The conceptual framework for this study was the ethical decision-making model of Meneghetti and Seel. The research was a phenomenological study using the think aloud protocol of van Someren, Barnard, and Sandberg. Three scenarios of possible child abuse cases were used as the basis for the face-to-face interviews in which 6 lead preschool teachers described their thought processes. The purposeful sample comprised 6 lead teachers in a major city in the United States with children aged 2 through 5. A thematic analysis method and coding strategy were used to answer the research questions. The findings in this study were consistent with the literature in that most of the teachers did not elect to report their suspicion of child abuse or neglect, but were inhibited by lack of clear understanding of what constitutes abuse and neglect, and by a desire for more information. This study contributes to positive social change by indicating a need for more training of preschool teachers in their mandated reporter role, which can result in more confident decision making and greater success in protecting young children.

Повний текст джерелаBackground Child maltreatment is a global public health problem where the hidden statistics are extensive. All forms of violence lead to lifelong consequences for children who are exposed, and they rarely disclose their living conditions as these are anything but good. This means that nurses' professional responsibilities are important in meeting with vulnerable children. One of the nurse's core competencies is person-centered care, where a holistic perspective on the child should be considered, as there is a responsibility to identify and an obligation to report in the event of suspicion that a child is being harmed. Aim The aim was to describe nurses' experiences of factors that influence the decision of mandatory reporting to suspected or confirmed child maltreatment. Method The literature review has been conducted with 17 included studies of both qualitative and quantitative study design. The data collection was conducted in the databases Public MEDLINE and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. The studies were then quality-examined based on Sophiahemmet University's assessment data, on which an integrated analysis was used to process the results. Results The results of the literature review are described based on three main categories: the nurse's knowledge and perception of child maltreatment, the nurse's experience of the registration process, and the nurse's working environment. With associated subcategories, these describe the nurse's experience of factors that may influence the decision whether the nurse makes a report on child maltreatment or not. Conclusions Nurses' experience, personal attitude to the field, and prevailing legislation in each country are factors that influence the process of reporting regarding concerns about child maltreatment. The results showed the need for support and help in the process of dealing with child maltreatment. The extent of this global public health problem should be noted, as a failure to report contributes to further suffering for the already vulnerable child. Most nurses lacked knowledge of the legal responsibilities required to report a concern of child maltreatment, which drew attention to the need for adequate education and up-to-date clinical skills training.

Повний текст джерелаAccording to Swedish law, pre-school staff has a mandatory duty to notify social services if they suspect that a child is mistreated. Despite this, many fail to report even when suspicions have arisen. The primarily aim of this study is to investigate and gain greater understanding of the factors considered by preschool staff when deciding whether to report suspicions of a child being mistreated. Their own thoughts regarding their tendency to report such suspicions are therefore further investigated. The paper also explores whether the thoughts of preschool staff regarding child abuse and their own role in the reporting process correspond with the survival strategies described by Dr. Kari Killén. The study was conducted through qualitative interviews with four respondents who worked at the same preschool. The results were compared with previous research in the field, the sociological perspective Symbolic interactionism and the psychological perspective of different survival strategies defined by Dr. Killén. 3 When deciding whether to report suspicions of child mistreating the respondents considered themselves to be influenced by insecurity and fear of making mistakes, losing support from colleagues and managers, destroying relationships and loyalty with the parents or even making them change preschool. They also thought they would be affected by personal experiences (partly of social services), socioeconomic status, as well as action plans. A strong connection to the previous research, Symbolic interactionism and Dr. Killéns survival strategies was revealed by the interviews.

Повний текст джерелаOs maus-tratos infantis constituem um problema social, real e complexo, com consequências profundas tanto para as crianças como para as suas famílias, a curto e longo prazo. Por esta razão, é essencial entender as decisões dos profissionais que visam proteger as crianças e os jovens em risco após a ocorrência de maus-tratos infantis. A presente tese surge como uma tentativa de compreender melhor esta realidade. É constituída por três estudos que têm como denominador comum os processos de tomada de decisão em situações de maus-tratos infantis. Especificamente, procurou compreender-se a posição de diferentes intervenientes como, por exemplo, juízes e psicólogos no que respeita a situações de maustratos infantis. Por ser um processo moroso e complexo com uma multitude de informação disponível, é importante compreender o processamento dessa mesma informação e possíveis influências associadas. A tese é composta por três estudos: Uma revisão da literatura e dois estudos empíricos. O primeiro estudo assume-se especificamente como uma revisão sistemática da literatura que foca as características que podem influenciar a decisão dos juízes (e.g., características dos juízes), bem como os modelos que, eventualmente, esses profissionais utilizam como orientação no momento da tomada de decisão. Foi possível verificar alguma consistência quanto à referência de algumas características situacionais que influenciam significativamente o processo de tomada de decisão, como os fatores relativos aos juízes (e.g., religião), à vítima (e.g., idade), ao ofensor (e.g., género) e ao contexto (e.g., regras e leis). Apesar de existir uma tendência de utilização de modelos que abrangem os sistemas legal, político e social e também os valores pessoais, a revisão sistemática sugere a inexistência de um modelo consensual que represente o processo da tomada de decisão dos juízes na íntegra. O segundo estudo aborda a opinião de diferentes profissionais habitualmente envolvidos no processo de tomada de decisão de situações de maus-tratos infantis (e.g., psicólogos, assistentes sociais). Analisou-se não só a perspetiva dos participantes relativamente à panóplia de serviços disponibilizados na realidade portuguesa como também face aos diferentes profissionais envolvidos. Foi ainda estudada a opinião relativa a um conjunto de características específicas das situações de maus-tratos infantis (e.g., psicopatologia dos pais). Características como a gravidade, duração e recorrência do abuso foram consideradas as mais importantes, sendo a menos importante das variáveis em estudo o nível socioeconómico das famílias. Foram ainda encontradas associações significativas entre diversas variáveis em estudo, nomeadamente profissão dos participantes e serviços sugeridos e local de trabalho e características situacionais. O terceiro estudo constituiu uma análise comparativa quanto ao papel da experiência académica na tomada de decisão. Especificamente, foram comparados os processos de tomada de decisão de alunos de Direito e de sujeitos sem formação jurídica específica, no que diz respeito a situações de menores em risco. Foram alvo de estudo questões como a retirada da criança da família, a confiança na decisão e também a posição (ranking) quanto a um conjunto de características específicas das situações de maus-tratos infantis (e.g., gravidade do abuso). Os resultados mostraram que existem diferenças significativas na confiança na decisão tomada e no ranking das características, mas não na decisão final. No seu conjunto, os três estudos permitiram não só confirmar a complexidade das tomadas de decisão específicas destas situações, mas também perceber a necessidade de se construir um modelo abrangente e integrativo dessas mesmas tomadas de decisão, que possa servir de organizador do processo, quer para os decisores, quer para as instituições envolvidas. É importante que os próprios profissionais compreendam o processo da sua tomada de decisão específica. A título de exemplo, a partir dos modelos explicativos da tomada de decisão, os juízes poderão tentar perceber a que informações conferem mais importância ou ponderar sobre as informações a incluir em casos específicos, entre outros aspectos. Relativamente a outros profissionais como psicólogos e assistentes sociais, este trabalho permite um olhar externo às suas decisões. É possível realizar um levantamento informal do processo de tomada de decisão dos profissionais, percebendo, por exemplo, potenciais influências ao longo do mesmo. Espera-se por isso que os contributos desta tese sejam passíveis de aplicação no dia-a-dia. Por último, é importante refletir sobre os resultados encontrados acerca da formação académica dos diferentes intervenientes do processo de tomada de decisão referentes a situações de maus-tratos. Em parte, a reflexão deverá incidir, por exemplo, sobre a eventual influência da formação académica na prática profissional futura.
Child maltreatment is a real and complex social problem with severe short and long-term consequences to the children. In order to protect the children and youth at risk, it is crucial to understand the decisions regarding child maltreatment situations. The present work emerges as an attempt to better understand this reality. It encompasses three studies about decision-making processes in child maltreatment situations. Specifically, we intended to understand the opinion of different intervenient (e.g., judges and psychologists) on child maltreatment situations. Also, the slowdown of the process and multiplicity of available information reveals the importance of understanding information processing and probable influences associated to it. This thesis is compounded by three studies: One literature review and two empirical studies. Specifically, the first study is a systematic review about: (i) the characteristics that can influence judges’ decision about children at risk (e.g., judges’ characteristics); and (ii) the models that are eventually used for the professionals’ decision making in specific situations. Some consistency was found in the literature about the importance of situational characteristics such factors from judges (e.g., religion), victim (e.g., age), offender (e.g., gender), and context factors (e.g., rules and laws). Apparently, there is no consensual model that can represent the decision making process as a whole, even though a trend to the use of models that encompass legal, political and social system as well as personal values, seems to emerge. The second study approaches the opinion of professionals usually involved on the decision making process on child maltreatment situations (e.g., psychologists, social assistants). The participants’ perspective about the services available in Portugal and the different professionals involved on the process were analyzed. The study also approached the professionals’ opinion about specific characteristics of child abuse situations (e.g., parents’ psychopathology). Characteristics such as severity, length and reoccurrence of the abuse were considered the most important, whereas the family socioeconomic status was the least important. Significant associations between several study variables emerged, namely between participants’ profession and suggested services, and between workplace and situational characteristics. The last study is a comparative analysis about the potential role of academic experience on the decision making process. More specifically, this study compares the decision making process of law students and lay people (without experience on the legal field) regarding child maltreatment situations. Three features were explored: i) decision of removing or not the child from home; ii) confidence on the decision (post-decision confidence); and iii) rating of some characteristics specific of abuse situations (e.g., severity of the abuse). Results showed statistically significant differences between both groups regarding their post-decision confidence and characteristics’ ranking. However, no differences were found on the decision itself. Together, these three studies allowed not only to confirm the complexity of the decision-making in child maltreatment situations, but also to realize the need to build a comprehensive and integrative model of decision-making on specific situations of child maltreatment. Ideally, the model can be a support to process’ organizing, both for decision makers and for the institutions involved. It is important for those professionals to comprehend the specificities of their decision making process. For example, having as a base the explanatory models found in the first study about the judges’ decision making, professionals can reflect on their own decisions: Understand the most important factors and analyze the available information on specific cases. In what concerns other professionals – such as psychologists and social assistants –, this thesis allows an external look to their decisions. It is possible to do an informal survey about the decision making process of this professionals (e.g., about potential influences to the process). Moreover, and the knowledge acquired is likely to be applied to day-to-day actions. At last, it is relevant the reflection about the academic experience results regarding the professionals involved along the process, in particular, the judges. For example, a reflection about the eventual influence of academic experience on the professional practice is needed.

The incidence of reported child abuse is fast growing in the past few years. To identify a child abuse case, a reliable and valid risk assessment is pertinent for a child protection worker to make appropriate treatment decision. In 2011, according to the Control Yuan, a child protection worker, who once made inconsistent decision from risk assessment of possible harm after a child going home, was impeached for a child death incidence due to that worker’s negligence. The extant literature in Taiwan gave no valid information of how a risk assessment model could be effective to identify a child abuse case. This study aims to test predicting power of a proposed risk assessment model and examine how child protection workers would make inconsistent decision from their risk assessment. A data set provided by Tao-Yuan County Child Protection Team was used to do analysis. A particular form of risk assessment tool was completed by every child protection worker after investigation during 2011. A total of 2,142 cases reported were investigated in 2011, but only 2003 cases were risk assessed in forms. Due to statistical efficiency, a total of 607 cases were stratified randomly sampled from the sampled population. And a qualitative approach was used to collect data from four child protection workers regarding inconsistent decisions they made in risk assessment procedure. Results showed that almost eighty percent of the sampled cases assessed were rated as children with the lower risk and 86.3% were not substantiated for further treatment. In 20.4% of the sampled cases rated as children of higher risks, 61.2% were substantiated as child abuse cases for further treatment services, but the others did not receive treatment. In prediction, the indicators of global risk level, wounds of the body, frequency of the abuse acts, care and living conditions, degree of threat from the abuser, attitude and expectations towards the child, and economic stress were found to have prediction power on child abuse case substantiation. Since some cases with higher level assessed were not substantiated, four first line workers were in-depth interviewed to explain the inconsistency. Two sets of reasons were given regarding the technical issues related to assessing process (decision before filling the form of risk assessment) and the difficulties related to using the risk assessment tool (some concern for the validity). Implications about developing effective risk assessment models and promoting precision between investigation and decision-making are included.

Повний текст джерелаThe use of forensic psychology, in particular psychological evaluation by the courts, is an expanding reality. The requests have increased, most probably, thanks to the greater social visibility and social awareness, such as sexual abuse. So this study aims primarily, understand the importance assigned to the work of forensic psychologists as experts and formulators of forensic psychological expertise in cases of sexual abuse of minors, by the judges during the process of decision making. The sample consists of seven judges (2 female and 5 male) with different professional experiences in the area of family and crime. The methodology was qualitative, which by their assumptions met the requisites needed in this case, access to the meanings and perceptions of interviewees in relation to the theme. For the content analysis we used the Grounded Theory, essential in codification and interpretation of data collected. In this interpretation, it was noticed that in general, judges value the forensic psychological expertise and give favorable consideration, on their contribution in decision making. However, the limitation appears in the complementarity, which they must have, with the medical legal expertise. It appears that it’s still difficult to attribute to the forensic psychological expertise the responsibility that she deserve mainly in cases of sexual abuse in minors within the family, by the dynamics are difficult to detect.

Повний текст джерелаThe present study aims to understand the role of the psychological expertise in judicial decision making in sexual abuse cases. This investigation finds itself integrated in a larger one that aims to understand the judicial decision making process as a whole. Through interviews to eleven magistrates, we aim to 1) understand what they value the most in a psychological expertise, 2) understand what their expectations for an expertise are, 3) understand which situations the expertise is most valued and useful, 4) explore if the expertise is interpreted differently depending on the expert who writes it, and 5) understand on which situations the magistrates deem necessary to listen to the expert who wrote the expertise. Some of the main results found in this investigation include the fact that the psychological expertise is particularly important to the magistrates when there’s no other kind of evidence to prove a certain abuse, and that the magistrates expect the psychological expertise to be an objective and concrete evaluation of a certain characteristic of the victim, which in this type of case, usually is an evaluation of the abused child’s credibility.
