Resumen
ARREDONDO-PROVECHO, Ana Belén et al. Minors gender violence victims: are they correctly attended in healthcare settings?. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.97, pp.31-40. Epub 27-Feb-2024. ISSN 1139-7632.
Background:
The aim was to find out the opinion of paediatricians who care for minors who are victims of gender-based violence, on the training they receive and the tools they have to deal with it, including their own training and the degree of involvement they assume in these situations.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out through a validated survey using Google Forms. It was disseminated among healthcare professionals working with minors through scientific societies that were asked to collaborate and through the PEDIAP distribution list of RedIris, which groups together the aforementioned professionals.
Results:
A total of 407 professionals responded to the survey. Professionals considered GBV among the social problems of minors attending their offices as infrequent: 71% of responses (compared to 5.6% who considered it frequent). Regarding training, only 19% consider that they are offered sufficient training, and only 15% think that they have adequate knowledge in this area.
Conclusions:
Although GBV is a problem that needs to be addressed by health professionals, training adapted to this field, in terms of detection and intervention tools, remains scarce, which may influence under-detection or an inadequate approach to it, as well as affecting the health of the children of women victims of GBV.
