The third Netherlands' Prevalence study of Maltreatment of children and youth (NPM-2017) continues the tradition of periodically mapping the national prevalence of child maltreatment.
The NPM-2017 provides an update of the current prevalence rates of child maltreatment and of changes in its prevalence over the last 12 years. In addition, risk factors for child maltreatment and its co-occurrence with domestic violence were investigated.
Prevalence data were based on cases reported to 'Safe at Home' organizations (former CPS agencies) and observations of professionals working with children (sentinels).
Sentinels (N = 785) filled out a form for each case of suspected child maltreatment that they observed within their professional sample during a three-month period.
An overall prevalence estimate of child maltreatment in the Netherlands in 2017 of 26-37 per 1000 children was computed. The most important risk factors for child maltreatment were low parental education (RR=4.95), parental unemployment (RR = 3.64), immigrant status (RR = 3.61), and single parenthood (RR = 2.29). Neither prevalence rates nor risk factors changed significantly between 2005, 2010, and 2017. Finally, in 46 % of the reported families child maltreatment occurred in a context of domestic violence.
The prevalence of co-occurring domestic violence may indicate that family violence observed within one dyad could be a marker for dysfunctional functioning of the family system. Child maltreatment remains a considerable problem in the Netherlands with a stable prevalence over the last 12 years and stability in characteristics that make families vulnerable for child maltreatment.
荷兰第三次儿童和青少年虐待流行状况研究(NPM-2017)延续了周期性绘制国家儿童虐待流行率的传统。
NPM-2017 提供了当前儿童虐待流行率的最新信息,以及过去 12 年来其流行率的变化。此外,还调查了儿童虐待的危险因素及其与家庭暴力的共同发生情况。
流行数据基于向“安全在家”组织(前 CPS 机构)报告的案例和观察到的与儿童一起工作的专业人员(哨兵)的报告。
哨兵(N=785)在三个月的时间内,为他们在专业样本中观察到的每一例疑似儿童虐待案件填写一份表格。
计算出 2017 年荷兰儿童虐待的总体流行率为每 1000 名儿童中有 26-37 例。儿童虐待的最重要危险因素是父母教育程度低(RR=4.95)、父母失业(RR=3.64)、移民身份(RR=3.61)和单亲家庭(RR=2.29)。2005 年、2010 年和 2017 年之间,流行率和危险因素均无显著变化。最后,在报告的家庭中,46%的儿童虐待发生在家庭暴力的背景下。
报告的家庭暴力共同发生的流行率可能表明,在一个对偶体中观察到的家庭暴力可能是家庭系统功能失调的一个标志。在过去的 12 年里,儿童虐待在荷兰仍然是一个相当严重的问题,其流行率保持稳定,使家庭易受儿童虐待影响的特征也保持稳定。
