Objectives This study explores child welfare investigations for medical neglect in Ontario, Canada, focusing on household, family and child characteristics of such investigations and factors associated with substantiated victimization. Methods This analysis used data from the Ontario Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect 2018. Bivariate analyses compared medical neglect with other neglect investigations to create a profile of medical neglect investigations in Ontario, and a binary logistic regression determined which case characteristics were associated with substantiation of medical neglect. Results Compared with other neglect investigations, medical neglect investigations were more likely to involve children less than 1 year old and caregivers under 21 years old, households that had run out of money in the past 6 months for basic necessities, primary caregivers with few social supports, mental health issues or drug/solvent abuse concerns, and children with at least one functioning concern. Medical neglect investigations in which the primary caregiver had few social supports were almost four times more likely to be substantiated (OR=3.698, P<0.05). Conclusions While the public’s perception of medical neglect tends to focus on parental refusal of treatment due to philosophical/religious beliefs, this Ontario sample indicates that medical neglect is often driven by financial constraints and a lack of social support. Implications for health care providers within a universal health care system are discussed.

安大略省的医疗忽视:对医疗保健提供的影响

目标 本研究探讨加拿大安大略省医疗忽视的儿童福利调查,重点关注此类调查的家庭、家庭和儿童特征以及与证实受害相关的因素。方法 该分析使用了 2018 年报告的儿童虐待和忽视安大略事件研究的数据。双变量分析将医疗忽视与其他忽视调查进行比较,以创建安大略省医疗忽视调查的概况,并通过二元逻辑回归确定哪些病例特征与医疗忽视的证据。结果 与其他忽视调查相比,医疗忽视调查更可能涉及 1 岁以下儿童和 21 岁以下照顾者,过去 6 个月内基本必需品用完的家庭、缺乏社会支持的主要照顾者、心理健康问题或药物/溶剂滥用问题,以及至少有一个功能问题的儿童。主要照顾者几乎没有社会支持的医疗忽视调查得到证实的可能性几乎是其四倍(OR=3.698,P<0.05)。结论 虽然公众对医疗忽视的看法往往集中在父母因哲学/宗教信仰而拒绝治疗,但安大略省的这个样本表明,医疗忽视往往是由财政限制和缺乏社会支持驱动的。讨论了对全民医疗保健系统中医疗保健提供者的影响。心理健康问题或药物/溶剂滥用问题,以及至少有一种功能问题的儿童。主要照顾者几乎没有社会支持的医疗忽视调查得到证实的可能性几乎是其四倍(OR=3.698,P<0.05)。结论 虽然公众对医疗忽视的看法往往集中在父母因哲学/宗教信仰而拒绝治疗,但安大略省的这个样本表明,医疗忽视往往是由财政限制和缺乏社会支持驱动的。讨论了对全民医疗保健系统中医疗保健提供者的影响。心理健康问题或药物/溶剂滥用问题,以及至少有一种功能问题的儿童。主要照顾者几乎没有社会支持的医疗忽视调查得到证实的可能性几乎是其四倍(OR=3.698,P<0.05)。结论 虽然公众对医疗忽视的看法往往集中在父母因哲学/宗教信仰而拒绝治疗,但安大略省的这个样本表明,医疗忽视往往是由财政限制和缺乏社会支持驱动的。讨论了对全民医疗保健系统中医疗保健提供者的影响。0.05)。结论 虽然公众对医疗忽视的看法往往集中在父母因哲学/宗教信仰而拒绝治疗,但安大略省的这个样本表明,医疗忽视往往是由财政限制和缺乏社会支持驱动的。讨论了对全民医疗保健系统中医疗保健提供者的影响。0.05)。结论 虽然公众对医疗忽视的看法往往集中在父母因哲学/宗教信仰而拒绝治疗,但安大略省的这个样本表明,医疗忽视往往是由财政限制和缺乏社会支持驱动的。讨论了对全民医疗保健系统中医疗保健提供者的影响。
