Özet:

The first years (between 0-6 ages) of life is a critical phase in a child’s life as many rapid developments are observed in this period. The foundations of personality are laid in this period and subsequent developments are built on this basis. Neglect and abuse that children are subjected to during these periods cause not only negative physical, psychological and social consequences in the long run, but also legal invasion of children's rights. In this context, the main objective for primary health care services provided by the institutions and organizations affiliated to the Ministry of Health should be carrying out interventions by recognizing early risks that cause neglect and exploitation and directing the abused child to the relevant institutions in a short period of time as it should be in all children's services. Therefore, in this compiled work, considering the child’s best interest, the topic “early diagnosis and guidance in neglect and abuse of 0-6 years old children in primary health care” will be discussed through a holistic approach from a social service perspective.
