Important survey on a child maltreatment toolkit at Emergency Departments in Europe
Child maltreatment is a worldwide threat to a child’s individual physical and psychological health and has a huge impact on socio-economic level.
There is a need for improving the recognition of child maltreatment at the Emergency department (ED). Recently a study performed by the Erasmus MC Sophia Children’s Hospital and Augeo Foundation in collaboration with the EUSEM, REPEM and EuSEN (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0246361) showed only 26% of the EDs in Europe follow most of the NICE guideline recommendations on child abuse & neglect.
A follow-up survey was developed to study barriers and facilitators for the implementation of a child maltreatment toolkit, consisting of a screening checklist, training and a strategy for adequate hospital policy, at EDs in Europe.
