Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide a basis for the planning and subsequent implementation of a peer review program, concomitant to exploring the perceptions of registered nurses regarding initiating a peer review program in a small midwestern hospital. The study findings indicated that registered nurses liked the peer review process, perceived peer review as helping their professional growth, and indicated a strong desire for education and in-service. Based on the study results, planning and recommendations for further implementation are discussed.

[Sexual abuse of children: the necessity of medical intervention].

Recently the Dutch Health Council published a report on the medical aspects of sexual abuse of children. The questions underlying this report reflect an attempt to arrive at hard indices of sexual abuse in children through the assessment of physical symptoms. For the medical assessment, the authors refer to the Dutch translation of an English report entitled Physical signs of sexual abuse in children, published by The Royal College of Physicians. The hazards connected with the exclusive focus on physical symptoms are recognized, and the authors stress that medical examination should be part of a much broader assessment of the child and his/her family. However, instead of confining themselves to assessment issues of physical symptoms, the authors add a rather meagre account of behavioural and emotional factors relevant to the diagnosis of sexual abuse of children. Unfortunately, this approach seems to aggravate the problems underlying misdiagnosis rather than to increase diagnostic accuracy and improve adequate care for sexually abused children.
