View of Children of Nursing Students, Analysis of The Relationship Between Perception of Parenthood and Intention to Report Child Abuse

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between child view, parenthood, and intention to report child abuse among nursing students who are prospective parents and mandated reporters, and to provide a basis for developing educational programs to prevent child abuse. This study was a descriptive survey to analyze the relationship between child view, parenting perception, and intention to report child abuse among 143 nursing students who are pre-nurses. The data were collected through self-administered questionnaires from October to November 2022, and the data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 program. The results showed that child view was a factor affecting nursing students' perception of parenthood, and the explanatory power of the variable was 27.4%. In conclusion, the formation of nursing students' traditional child view is an important part that can lead to the improvement of child abuse reporting intention, and various programs such as parent role-play and simulation should be developed and applied by utilizing the metaverse environment for the formation of nursing students' traditional child view in line with social changes.
