ABSTRACT

Objective: Describe the frequency of negligence and its associated risk factors in the child and adolescent population served in CAINM.
Materials and Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study on the frequency of childhood neglect and its associated risk factors, through a secondary information source. We conducted an exhaustive search in the CAINM registry of the clinical records of patients assessed for suspicion of MI during the period between 2013 and 2017. Incomplete or missed files were excluded. We identify those cases in which the NI diagnosis was confirmed, analyzing with descriptive statistics.
Results: 281 diagnoses due to child abuse, 51% are due to neglect. Individual factors: age group with the highest prevalence was 0 to 2 years (41%); the majority had a basic illness or disability (67.4%), and were the result of unplanned pregnancy (68.8%). Family factors: mothers were young (47.2%), primary caregivers (68%); single-parent families corresponded to single mothers (83.3%); poor participation of parenting activities (93.8%) and negative parenting habits (98.6%). Community factors the low level of income (93%) and the labor eventuality of the parents (77.8%) were more frequent.
Conclusions: Child neglect (CN) was the most frequent type of abuse in the CAINM, during the period studied. The most prevalent risk factors were family members, followed by community members.
