Summary

Physicians largely do not find corporal punishment (CP) effective or recommend it for behavior improvement. However, most physicians lack formal education on CP, highlighting a need for standardized training.

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Corporal punishment (CP) involves inflicting pain to modify behavior.
  • Understanding healthcare providers' perspectives on CP is crucial for guiding families.
  • There is a recognized gap in professional training regarding CP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate Rhode Island physicians' views on corporal punishment.
  • To assess physicians' personal experiences and educational background concerning CP.
  • To inform future research and training for healthcare professionals on discussing CP.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous survey was distributed to physicians at Hasbro Children's Hospital.
  • The survey collected data on perceptions, experiences, and training related to CP.

  • 58 physicians completed the survey.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant majority (67.2%) of physicians believe CP is never effective for behavior.
    • Nearly all respondents (98.2%) reported never recommending CP to families.
    • Most physicians (67.9%) have not received any formal education on CP.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric providers generally do not endorse corporal punishment as a disciplinary method.
    • The study reveals a lack of adequate education on CP among physicians.
    • Standardized training is essential for healthcare providers to address CP effectively.
