Review; Social Worker, Clinical Laboratory , Nurses And Midwife Working Together In Suspected Child Abuse Cases

Abstract

Child abuse is recognized as a worldwide issue that has significant ramifications for the physical and psychological well-being of its victims. Healthcare providers, as described below, engage with children and their families at various stages of healthcare. It is imperative for all nurses to possess the ability to recognize children who are vulnerable to danger or abuse, and respond appropriately. Midwives, nurses, social workers, and clinical laboratory professionals all possessed expertise and encountered comparable difficulties when dealing with child abuse. The ratio of healthcare personnel to patients in health facilities hinders the delivery of high-quality care at a structural level. These findings have ramifications for enhancing child abuse policy/guidelines and clinical practice. Compulsory child abuse training is essential for midwifery, nursing, and medical students, as well as in ongoing education programs for more seasoned practitioners.
