Abstract

The study was intended to identify the factors that affect pediatric nurses' perception toward child abuse and their reporting attitude. The report rate was very low, only 3 (9.1%) of respondents. Most of them did not report, 30(90.9%), and the main causes of non-reporting were not-serious or lack of evidence. The recognition and experience of child abuse depending on the characteristics of nurses in pediatric wards showed a significant difference according to their academic background (X2=16.52, p=.011). The results of the review of the differences in the reported attitudes of child abuse nurses showed a significant difference in the age of nurses in the pediatric ward (X2=13.64, p=.034). Nurses in the pediatric ward are required to develop intervention programs and tools for assessing child abuse, and to provide education and systems for the prevention of child abuse, which will make it necessary for the universal reporting of cases against child abuse and the prevention of child abuse.

본 연구의 목적은 일개 지역 소아병동 간호사들의 아동학대에 대한 인식 및 신고태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는데 있다. 소아병동에 근무하는 학대의심 아동 간호 유경험자 중 아동학대 신고율이 매우 저조하며 신고하지 않은 이유로는 절반 이상이 학대의 정도가 심하지 않거나 증거 부족을 사유로 들었다. 아동학대 발생에 대한 소아병동 간호사의 제 특성에 따른 인식은 '학력'(X2=16.52, p=.011)에 따라, 신고 태도는 '연령'(X2=13.64, p=.034)에 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 소아병동 간호사들 대상으로 아동학대 중재 프로그램 개발 및 아동학대 사정도구 개발이 요구되며 아동학대 예방 교육과 체계가 마련되어 학대 아동에 대한 사례 신고 보편화와 아동학대 예방 체계가 활성화될 필요가 있다.
