Abstract

In addition to social
problems, children are exposed to neglect and abuse in various ways due to
developmental periods or many problems in family and social relations. The
negative consequences of this abuse and neglect, affect not only one’s self but
also society, social organizations, legal systems, education system and
business areas. Therefore, it is important to know child profile which is
decided to take health care measure. In this retrospective, observational
study, data including demographic information, reasons for taking health care
measures, diagnoses after psychological evaluation and termination of the
injunction decision of children who were taken health care measure and referred
to a child adolescent mental health professional, were scanned and recorded.
The total number of children included in the study was 66. There was no
statistically significant difference in terms of gender. It is seen that the
most frequent first-reference hospital was the central hospital and the injunction
was increased every year; the most common reason was the protection of physical
and mental health; 59% of the cases were not diagnosed; 39.3% were terminated
later and the most termination reason was to be 18-year-old. The studies to be
carried out with prospective, multicentre, large patient groups are needed in
order to determine the drift rates of children by examining the health measures
and to establish the cause-effect relationship.
