description This study aims to assess and determine knowledge, attitude, and behavioural practice regarding intention to report child abuse cases of healthcare providers in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. This was a cross-sectional study among staff nurses and assistant medical officers in Emergency and Paediatric department in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia Kubang Kerian Kelantan Malaysia. Data were collected using Child Abuse Report Intention Scale (CARIS), self-administered questionnaire adopted from the previous studies. The questionnaire was given to 140 respondents. Descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis dan Spearman’s correlation was used to analyse the statistical analysis of the responses. The total knowledge of healthcare providers was poor (42%). Their attitude toward child abuse and perceived behavioural control was acceptable with mean score of 40.1 (SD 6.58) and 23.1 (SD 3.38), respectively. There was slight correlation between attitude about child discipline and intention of reporting with r=-0.248, p value=0.003. Multiple regression test showed attitude toward child physical discipline and attitude toward punishment to perpetrators were the predictors of intention of reporting child abuse. In this study, the healthcare providers had low knowledge, acceptable attitude and perceived behavioural control on handling child abuse. This may be due to less exposure to child abuse cases.
