World Health Organization (WHO) describes child abuse; “Exposure to all kinds of attitudes and behaviors including commercial advertising or any other form of influence that may cause any physical and / or emotional, sexual, negligence or neglect to cause adverse effects on health, growth and development of children”. 25% of the children aged 7-18 were neglected, physical abuse was seen 43%, emotional abuse was 51% and sexual abuse was 3%. 4,2 % of children 6-14 and 28 % of children 15-17 were reported to be exposed to financial abuse. Besides, poor financial situation is consideed to be among the most important factors inducing child abuse. Child abuse is considered a complex event with its all dimensions including the etiology, diagnosis and treatment; protecting the children from abuse is essential and a multidisciplinary team of professionals during early diagnosis and treatment is needed. Pediatric nurses in the team play a significant role in; recognizing the signs for abuse, early-identification of the children likely to be exposed to maltreatment, directing them to the appropriate centers and providing them with the treatment/rehabilitation.
