Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Fundamental Attribution Error

12.8K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Parental Care

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Child Psychology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Child abuse poses a significant public health concern globally.
  • Understanding the prevalence and forms of child abuse is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.
  • Adolescent populations are particularly vulnerable to various forms of maltreatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of child abuse among high school students in Curaçao.
  • To identify the different forms of child abuse experienced by adolescents.
  • To explore adolescents' perceptions of general practitioners (GPs) as care providers for child abuse.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was administered to high school students up to 17 years of age in Curaçao.
  • The survey instrument was adapted from existing literature and validated questionnaires by child abuse experts.
  • The study collected data on five forms of child abuse: physical, emotional, sexual, neglect, and exploitation.

Main Results:

  • A total of 545 valid questionnaires were analyzed, with 43% of respondents reporting ever experiencing child abuse.
  • Physical abuse was reported by over one-third of those experiencing abuse, and sexual abuse by over 15%, with girls reporting more sexual abuse than boys.
  • Emotional abuse affected 3% and neglect 1% of respondents in the last year; GPs were not viewed as primary care providers for child abuse.

Conclusions:

  • The prevalence of child abuse in Curaçao is estimated at 431 per 1000 students, indicating a significant issue.
  • Physical abuse is a common form of child abuse in Curaçao, comparable to surrounding regions.
  • Adolescents do not perceive general practitioners as key resources for addressing child abuse, highlighting a gap in care access.
