Elizabeth: Typical or Troubled Teen? A Training Case for Health Professionals to Recognize and Report Child Maltreatment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Training on the recognition and reporting of child maltreatment is a critical component of any health professional education program. Unfortunately, it is nationally recognized that health care professional training on recognition and reporting suspected child maltreatment is insufficient. Similarly, recent attention has been given to the need for interprofessional learning opportunities targeting to advanced health profession trainees such as doctor of nursing practice, masters in social work, physician assistant, and family medicine residents.

Methods

An interprofessional case-writing faculty team convened to develop this case and the affiliated materials, including video vignettes, faculty training, comprehensive faculty guide, evaluations, and trainee resources. Trainees were divided into interprofessional teams and advised to develop a prioritized plan of care for a complex patient case, though it was not revealed that the case involved child maltreatment. An initial video vignette showed an adolescent female and her mother during a provider visit to establish care. Teams developed a prioritized plan of care following the vignette. Additional case details unfold during the second vignette, and teams revised their initial plan based on this new information. Interprofessional faculty facilitators guided discussions using prompts from the faculty guide.

Results

Postsession surveys revealed that the learning objectives were met, and that both facilitators (N = 20) and trainees (N = 69) were very satisfied with the overall curriculum. Challenges centered around focusing on care priorities rather than provider critique.

Discussion

This curriculum is relevant for a variety of trainees and is an important complement to the curricula of many professions.

Project description:ObjectivesTo examine associations between child maltreatment and health service use, both overall, by type and by the number of types of maltreatment reported.Design, settingCross-sectional, retrospective survey using the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire-R2: Adapted Version (Australian Child Maltreatment Study); computer-assisted mobile telephone interviews using random digit dialling, Australia, 9 April - 11 October 2021.ParticipantsAustralians aged 16 years or more. The target sample size was 8500 respondents: 3500 people aged 16-24 years and 1000 respondents each from the five age groups (25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65 years or more).Main outcome measuresSelf-reported health service use during the past twelve months: hospital admissions, length of stay, and reasons for admission; and numbers of consultations with health care professionals, overall and by type. Associations between maltreatment and health service use are reported as odds ratios adjusted for age group, gender, socio-economic status, financial hardship (childhood and current), and geographic remoteness.ResultsA total of 8503 participants completed the survey. Respondents who had experienced child maltreatment were significantly more likely than those who had not to report a hospital admission during the preceding twelve months (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-1.66), particularly admission with a mental disorder (aOR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.03-5.6). The likelihood of six or more visits to general practitioners (aOR, 2.37; 95% CI, 1.87-3.02) or of a consultation with a mental health nurse (aOR, 2.67; 95% CI, 1.75-4.06), psychologist (aOR, 2.40; 95% CI, 2.00-2.88), or psychiatrist (aOR, 3.02; 95% CI, 2.25-4.04) were each higher for people who reported maltreatment during childhood. People who reported three or more maltreatment types were generally most likely to report greater health service use.ConclusionsChild maltreatment has a major impact on health service use. Early, targeted interventions are vital, not only for supporting children directly, but also for their longer term wellbeing and reducing their health system use throughout life.
