    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Child Abuse
    • Nursing

    Background:

    • Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP) is a challenging form of child abuse.
    • It often goes undetected, involving fabricated or falsified child illness by a caregiver.
    • Caregivers present children for medical treatment, obscuring the illness's cause.

    Observation:

    • Nurses are crucial for the early identification and detection of MSbP.
    • A case study highlights the essential role of nurses within a multidisciplinary team.
    • The nursing process is vital for managing MSbP cases.

    Findings:

    • Early detection of MSbP is significantly enhanced by vigilant nursing observation.
    • A multidisciplinary approach, with nurses at its core, is effective in managing MSbP.
    • The nursing process provides a framework for comprehensive patient care in MSbP.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness and training for nurses can improve MSbP detection rates.
    • Strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration is essential for protecting child welfare.
    • Implementing the nursing process in MSbP cases ensures thorough and effective management strategies.
