Education—Professional Nurse The healthcare environment and abuse People can report abuse without identifying themselves. Any health care worker who determines abuse has occurred or suspects it is responsible for reporting the situation. To abuse means ‘to damage, injure, or use wrongly’. It is not always easy to determine if someone seeking medical help is a victim of abuse. For example: An infant who has not learned to talk is unable to provide necessary information. A victim may deny abuse because of fear of exposing the caregiver or partner. A non-victim may claim abuse when it isn't true. Workers are better able to recognize the signs and correctly identify abuse when they know the facts. The following facts are important to know: All types of abuse are found in all social and economic groups. Types of abuse include child abuse, domestic violence (sometimes known as "spouse abuse"), and elder abuse. Reporting child abuse Child abuse is an act that results in death, physical or emotional injury, sexual abuse, or exploitation of a child. Child abuse occurs most often in children aged 0-3 years. The most common child abuse situations involve neglect or physical abuse by the female parent. The four types of child abuse are: Physical abuse Neglect Sexual abuse Emotional abuse Some facts about child abuse: 9 of every 10 victims are abused by one parent. At least 1 of every 3 victims suffers from more than one type of child abuse. About
