Outline of Final Research Achievements

An empirical study of factors leading to child abuse and responses to abuse was conducted to prevent institutional child abuse at facilities caring for children. From the perspective of supporting the providers of assistance, the current study examined factors leading to abuse with a focus on organizational climate and it developed specific intervention tools. Factors and circumstances leading to abuse were ascertained based on quantitative and qualitative analyses of basic studies on abuse. In light of those findings, the Organizational Climate Scale for Child Welfare Facilities was developed, and an organizational climate that dissuades institutional child abuse was identified. In addition, specific methods and organizational systems to prevent institutional child abuse were examined using an action research approach.
