Child abuse & neglect · Jul 2005
Factors associated with nurses' intention to report child abuse: a national survey of Taiwanese nurses.
The objectives were to determine the experiences of Taiwanese nurses with a new child abuse reporting law and to assess attitudinal correlates of nurses' intention to report. ⋯ Nurses accept responsibility for reporting but they believe their professional preparation for reporting is inadequate. There is a strong need for in-service and pre-service education about child abuse among nurses in Taiwan.
