Abstract:
Child neglect is an insidious form of maltreatment because it relies on the absence, not the presence, of behavior, leaving permanent traces that affect many aspects of children's development. Therefore, it is very important to notice the child neglect without delay and to take necessary interventions. However, studies on child neglect are limited and there is difficulty in defining and measuring the concept of neglect. With this research, the dimensions of neglect experienced by children were aimed to be understood by evaluating the care levels of the mothers of the children who were thought to be neglected. This research is a descriptive research based on the screening model. The mothers of 32 children, aged 0-6 years, who were suspected of neglect during the medical examinations, were included in the study. In the study, Graded Care Profile was used to assess the severity of neglect and to make a reliable decision about the quality of the care the children received. According to the Graded Care Profile, the four areas of care; physical care, security, love and developmental support areas, were evaluated by making observations at home visits and receiving information from mothers. In the study, it was found that the mothers were found more adequate in the physical care of their children, while the children were neglected in the fields of supporting love and development, including appropriate stimuli. In order to identify neglected children according to objective criteria, awareness of the professionals in the field should be increased and families should be intervened in a timely manner.
