Abstract:

Studiesevaluatingthefactorsassociatedwithunderreportingandwiththerecognitionandreportingofchildphysical abuse are scarceandhighlynecessary. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of recognition and reporting of child physical abuse (CPA) by Brazilian dentistsin primary care and associated factors. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a representative sample of dentistsfrom the Family Health Strategy in Belo Horizonte. A self-administered questionnaire validated to Brazilian Portuguesewas used for data collection.Statistical analysis included univariate and multiple analysesthroughPoisson Regression. A total of 181dentistsparticipated in the study. Among them, 73 (40.3%) had already recognized some cases of CPA, butonly 11 (6.1%) ended up reporting. Dentists with 6 to 19 yearsof experience as a municipal worker presented 2.38times [PR=2.38(95%CI:1.29-4.41)]moreprobability to recognize cases of CPA than the ones with less than 06 years. Having a graduate degree with a majorinchild care[PR=4.50(95%CI:1.08-18.68)]was associated with a larger number of reports. The employment duration as municipal worker was positively associated with the recognition of CPA cases andthe prevalence of reporting was low.
