Resumen
CASAS-MUNOZ, Abigail et al. Adverse childhood experiences. Knowledge and use by pediatrics residents. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2021, vol.157, n.1, pp.10-18. Epub 18-Jun-2021. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.19005644.
Introduction:
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been associated with the acquisition of risk behaviors and development of chronic and mental diseases since adolescence and in adult life.
Objective:
To identify the knowledge and the frequency pediatrics residents ask about ACEs with.
Methods:
Through an online survey sent to all resident physicians of the 2017-2018 academic year of a tertiary care childrens hospital, demographic variables, knowledge, use, training and barriers to interrogate and search for ACEs were collected.
Results:
21% of residents answered the survey; the majority were women (70 %), less than 5 % of participants were familiar with ACEs, 31 % enquired about them in parents and their children, and 71 % considered having some barrier to interrogate about them.
Conclusions:
Participants in this study showed limited knowledge about ACEs, which had an impact on the frequency they enquired about them with in their patients and their parents; at least half had the perception that it is beyond the reach of the pediatrician to identify them.
