新冠肺炎疫情对沙特阿拉伯儿童保护服务的影响
The perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on child protective services in Saudi Arabia.
摘要(中文译文)
COVID-19大流行对全球儿童保护服务（CPS）产生了重大影响，导致针对儿童的暴力（VAC）风险增加。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯卫生、社会、执法和教育部门的CPS专业人员对COVID-19影响CPS运作的感知。研究于2021年9月至2022年6月期间开展了一项横断面调查，对象为沙特阿拉伯卫生、社会、执法和教育部门的257名CPS专业人员。问卷在世界卫生组织的监督下开发，涵盖九个领域：暴力趋势、报告与记录、应对与随访、立法、资源、工作人员准备、预防项目、知识及挑战。定量数据采用描述性统计和Cramér's V检验进行分析，定性数据则进行主题分析。与非卫生部门参与者相比，卫生部门专业人员更频繁地报告VAC案件数量及其严重程度显著增加。结果显示报告系统变化有限，仅引入了少数新机制。工作人员培训、危机准备和数字基础设施不足，远程随访有限。定性研究发现家庭压力、经济困难和社会隔离是风险因素。主要挑战包括案件可及性降低、机构间协调薄弱以及保护措施不足。本研究在沙特阿拉伯COVID-19大流行的背景下开展，揭示了进一步发展CPS应急准备某些方面的必要性。加强跨部门合作、投资数字工具、增强工作人员培训以及促进社区意识，对于确保CPS在未来类似情况下保持韧性至关重要。
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the child protective services (CPS) globally, resulting in increased risks of violence against children (VAC). This study aims to assess the perceived impact of COVID-19 on CPS operations by CPS professionals from health, social, law enforcement, and educational sectors in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between September 2021 and June 2022 among 257 CPS professionals from health, social, law enforcement, and educational sectors in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire, developed with oversight by WHO, covered nine domains: violence trends, reporting and documentation, response and follow-up, legislation, resources, staff preparedness, prevention programs, knowledge, and challenges. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Cramér's V tests, while qualitative data were examined thematically. Health sector professionals more frequently reported marked increases in the number of reported VAC cases and their severity compared to non-health participants. The results have shown limited change in reporting systems, with the exception of a few newly introduced mechanisms. Staff training, crisis preparedness, and digital infrastructure were insufficient, with limited remote follow-up. Qualitative findings highlighted family stress, financial hardship, and social isolation as risk factors. Major challenges included reduced case accessibility, weak inter-agency coordination, and inadequate protective measures. The study, conducted in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia, reveals the need to further develop some aspects of CPS emergency preparedness. Strengthening intersectoral collaboration, investing in digital tools, enhancing staff training, and promoting community awareness are essential to ensure the resilience of CPS during similar future situations.
