Knowledge on Child Abuse among Mothers

Dr. T. C. Suguna


Abstract: Child abuse is a global social problem defined broadly as physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and emotional abuse of children by adults who are usually family or community members. Human trafficking involves exploitation of children who are vulnerable due to extreme poverty, child abuse, and other difficult social pressures. We aim to assess the knowledge on child abuse among mothers so that necessary awareness programs could be recommended if found unsatisfactory. The study was conducted to assess the knowledge on child abuse among mothers. A Non experimental Descriptive Research Design was adopted to conduct the study. A total of 50 samples were selected by using non - probability purposive sampling technique. The data was collected from the samples by using structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed by using Simple proportions, and Chi - squared test. A p - value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The findings of the study revealed that majority of mothers 24 (48%) had poor knowledge, 18 (36%) had good knowledge and only 8 (16%) had average level of knowledge regarding child abuse. Knowledge on child abuse was found significantly associated with Religion, Occupation and source of knowledge at P<0.05. This study findings show that significant proportion (64 %) of mothers? still lacks good level of knowledge. A nationwide study of such kind using qualitative tools as well as conducting awareness raising activities focusing on child abuse is recommended.
