- W3150489273 abstract "BACKGROUNDSeveral studies have been carried out in the developed world on child abuse and its association with behavioural disorders in children.. There is a paucity of studies in this regard in Nigeria,, hence the need for the study..AIM AND OBJECTIVESThe study aimed to determine the prevalence and pattern of child abuse , the sociodemographic correlates of victims,, and the association of child abus e with behavioural disorders in secondary scho ol s in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara S tate .METHODSThe s tudy was cross sectional in nature.. Asse nting r espondents whose parents consented were selected by pr oportional allocation from 8 secondary schools.. A sociodemographic questionnaire was used to obtain informatio n from the respondents.. Child abuse was assessed using the International child abuse screening tool (IICAST)).. Behavioural disorder was assessed with the Teacher version of the Child Behaviour Questionnaire (RRutter scale B2)) . A score of ten on the CBQ was taken as evidence of behavioural disorder.. Data was analyzed using EPI - INFO version 6.04d . Level of significance was set at 0.05..RESULTSA total of 1,554 respondents were studied,, 826 female s (553.2%%)) and 728 males (446.8 % ) . All resp ondents had suffered physical and emotional abuse at home in the last one year,, while neglect,, violence exposure,, and sexual abuse were reported by 890((557.3%%)),, 994(( 64.0%% ) , and 586((337.7%%)) respectively..A l l respondents (1100%%)) reported they were physically a nd emotionally abused in school in the last one year , while 291((118.7%%)) reported experiencing sexual abuse in school in the last one year..The pattern of abuse commonly experienced by respondents at hom e include being made to bear heavy load and being hit w ith an object (pphysical abuse)),, being threatened and being screamed at (eemotional abuse)) , experiencing burglary and witnessing adults shouting in a frightening way (vviolence exposure)),, being left hungry and being inadequately supported (nneglect)) . Sexual ab use occurred most commonly in the form of being talked to sexually and being touched sexually (ssexual abuse)).. A t school,, the common patterns were e xperiencing pain and being left in extreme weather (pphysical abuse)) , suffering deliberate ruination of belongi ngs and being deliberately insulted (eemotional abuse)),, being talked to sexually,, being touched sexually against wish and having to view pornographic material against wish (ssexual abuse)) .Factors that predicted violence exp osure include being an older child (pp<<00.001 OR==00.456)),, having unmarried parents (pp<<00.001 OR==00.078)),, being raised in an extended family (pp<<00.001 OR==00.478)),, parents being uninvolved in raising respondent (pp<<00.009 OR==00.602)) and having an educated mother (pp<<00.008 OR==00.656))..Neglect was predict ed by being Yoruba (pp<<00.001,, OR==33.907)),, having a father with primary education or less (pp<<00.001 OR==66.535)),, having a mother with secondary education or more (pp<<00.002,, OR==00.489)),, and having a working mother (pp<<00.001 OR==00.033))..Sexual abuse at home was predic ted by being of young age (pp<<00.002 OR==11.468)),, being female (pp<<00.001,, OR==00.237)),, and having parents who smoked cigarettes (pp<<00.001,, OR==22.800)) .Sexual abuse at School was predicted by being a female (pp<<00.001,, OR==00.389)) .All the respondents,, including those w ith b ehavioural disorders experienced physical and emotional abuse.. Behavioural disorders were f ound to be less common among respondents who had been exposed to violence or neglect.. There was a hi gher prevalence of behaviour al disorders among respondents who had been exposed to sexual abuse compared to those who had not been exposed . The difference was significant for only for respondents that experienced sexual abuse at school (pp==00.009)) .CONCLUSIONAbusive practices , especially physical and emotional abus e occur very commonly agains t secondary school children though they are not necessarily associated with the development of behavioural disorde rs.. It is therefore imperative to improve upon the existing ways of teaching parenting to parents and other careg i vers and to teach children social skills on how to initiate and maintain good interpersonal relationships . Parents,, caregivers and children should also be taught to recognise abuse and report it.. Also,, the existing framework for reporting and managing cases of child abuse need be strengthened ." @default.
