Child abuse is primarily categorized into three main types: sexual abuse, physical abuse, and emotional abuse. Sexual abuse can be exemplified by exposing a child to sexually explicit content or using a child for sexual gratification. Physical abuse can be exemplified by actions such as shaking, hitting, or pushing a child. Emotional abuse includes behaviors such as humiliating the child, telling them you don’t love them, and failing to appreciate their achievements. Child abuse is a difficult but increasingly widespread condition that threatens childrens health. There are many reasons for the difficulty in defining child abuse. The most important is that children may not be mature enough to adequately express and defend themselves. Furthermore, the insufficient reporting of child abuse is another significant problem, leaving children alone with their abusers. One of the biggest obstacles to reporting child abuse is the lack of sufficient knowledge about abuse among healthcare professionals who frequently encounter children with health problems. Another problem is their hesitation in reporting abuse. The main hesitations of healthcare professionals include uncertainty, fear of the child being subjected to violence by their family, not knowing how to report the incident, and not being aware of their reporting responsibilities. However, the rate at which abused children seek help from healthcare facilities has been steadily increasing. Furthermore, childhood abuse is a situation that causes serious health problems affecting children in later life. Therefore, examining this issue and creating a resource that will benefit healthcare professionals, especially nurses, is crucial for them to acquire the necessary information.
