Summary
Nurses often feel unprepared for mandated reporting of child maltreatment, especially when parents have disabilities. This review found limited guidance for nurses in these complex situations.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Child Welfare
- Public Health
Background:
- Nurses frequently report inadequate preparation and confidence regarding mandated reporting of child maltreatment.
- Parental disability presents an additional challenge for nurses in fulfilling their reporting obligations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review of existing literature on nurses' mandated reporting responsibilities in cases involving parental disability.
Main Methods:
- The review followed the Arksey and O'Malley Framework.
- The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guided the process.
Main Results:
- An initial search yielded 2,669 records, with 28 studies undergoing full review.
- Analysis revealed a scarcity of evidence and practical guidance for nurses on mandated reporting in families with parental disability.
Conclusions:
- The findings highlight a need for improved research, policy, and practice to support nurses and families affected by parental disability.
- There are opportunities to enhance resources for nurse mandated reporters in complex family situations.
