Abstract:

This study aimed to analyze factors associated with child and adolescent abuse report in primary healthcare. It is a cross-sectional study conducted with professionals (physicians, nurses and dentist-surgeons) from three healthcare regions of the state of Ceara, Brazil. It used a self-administered questionnaire on socio-demographic data, vocational education and training, instrumentation and knowledge on the issue, identification and report of abuse cases. Bivariate and multivariate analyses using logistic regression were performed. There was a frequency of 17% of abuse report by basic healthcare professionals. The multivariate analysis showed that participating in the training on the issue (OR = 2.18; CI95% = 1.05–4.53), knowing the notification form (OR = 3.03; CI95% = 1.47–6.24) and knowing how to refer the case properly (OR = 2.55; CI95% = 1.01–6.43) increased the chance of professionals reporting child and adolescent abuse. The variables identified in the final model showed a direct association between the report and matters related to the knowledge and training on the issue. Investments on healthcare professionals’ education are required in order to favor the qualification of the practice for this public health problem.
