This article examines the difficulties that nurses encounter in identifying cases of child neglect. It discusses problems associated with neglect and factors that contribute to it. Recent government proposals following Lord Laming's recommendations from the Victoria Climbié inquiry and the introduction of the Children Bill in March 2004 are also considered.
The recognition of neglect is complex because of its intertwining contributory factors. A framework for improvement has been set out in the Children Bill. Children must be given the same priority as other patient groups and the same rights and protection as adults.
本文探讨了护士在识别儿童忽视案例时遇到的困难。讨论了与忽视相关的问题及其促成因素。还考虑了政府近期根据拉明勋爵在维多利亚·克利比事件调查中的建议以及2004年3月《儿童法案》的出台所提出的提议。
由于忽视的促成因素相互交织，对其的识别很复杂。《儿童法案》已制定了改进框架。必须给予儿童与其他患者群体同等的优先权，以及与成年人同等的权利和保护。
