Abstract(s)
Os maus-tratos infantis representam uma problemática importante que afeta a
vida de inúmeras crianças e adolescentes à escala global. Estes podem surgir sob a forma
de negligência e/ou de outro tipo de abuso, seja físico, psicológico ou sexual, impactando
negativamente o desenvolvimento das vítimas.
Todavia, apesar dos efeitos nefastos, o diagnóstico dos casos de maus-tratos
infantis é pautado por uma elevada complexidade, quer pela diversidade de modos de
apresentação, quer pelas limitações com que os profissionais de saúde se deparam. Desta
forma, para que se possa melhorar a abordagem à vítima, é fundamental compreender
este problema, desde os fatores que influenciam este tipo de situações até às soluções
que permitam melhorar o reconhecimento e a denúncia dos casos.
Os principais objetivos da presente dissertação são compreender como é
realizada a abordagem à vítima de maus-tratos infantis no contexto atual dos cuidados
de saúde, quais as principais dificuldades experienciadas pelos profissionais de saúde e,
por conseguinte, perceber de que forma se pode otimizar a resposta dada a estas
situações.

Child maltreatment can take the form of neglect and/or other types of abuse, such as physical, psychological, or sexual, which negatively impacts the development of the victims. However, despite the harmful effects, the diagnosis of child maltreatment cases is highly complex, both because of the diversity of modes of presentation and the limitations faced by health professionals. Thus, to improve the approach to the victim, it is essential to understand this problem, from the factors that influence this type of situation to solutions that improve the recognition and reporting of cases. The main objectives of this dissertation are to understand how the victim of child maltreatment is approached in the current context of health services, what are the main difficulties experienced by health professionals and, therefore, to understand how to optimize the response given to these situations.
