LITERATURE REVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of conducting research is to find answer and knowledge about oneself
and others. This is an ongoing process from with the help of scientific fact, the correction and
hypothesis can be made for hypothesis. The purpose of conducting research is to test hypothesis
so that it can apply to actual situations. The process of research includes identifying issues and to
conduct research according to their topic. The first step includes selecting a research topic that
help researcher to bring specific question of any issues. It provides explanation about question
that are developed from exploration. There are some skills and qualities that are needed to
conduct a literature review. The analysing, comparing and evaluation are some skills which are
necessary to be occur while conducting a literature review. The researcher must have
understanding of writing and have ability to arguing with appropriate content. With this they can
aware about different methods that help in conducting literature review. There are some benefits
of evidence based practice such as it provides knowledge on specific topic. It prevent from
duplication of any content. The conflicts that arise due to previous information can also be
prevented from this. This also help in analysing gap between research.
ARTICLE 1
Development of Quality Indicators to Address Abuse and Neglect in Home‐Based Primary
Care and Palliative Care
According to the views of Sheehan (2019), this article is based on analysing abuse and
neglect by primary and palliative care. This provides a systematic literature review of literature
in which some candidate of who measure quality of standards that address presence of abuse and
neglect. In this research, the participants are older adults which are from home-bound
community-dwelling care. With the help of this article, it guides the process of patient level and
quality of standards of practice level. In this article, the care providers of palliative and primary
care participated in process in order to measure feasibility to determine quality indicators that
help in testing (Sheehan., 2019). The nine candidate are developed and informed about criteria
that developed final inclusion. It has been evaluated that nine candidate have high feasibility and
validity. This helps in providing and improving care to adults who persist home care. The

problem of abuse and neglect can be improved by addressing neglect in care and services that are
providing to adults.
ARTICLE 2
A systematic review of the emotional, behavioural and cognitive features exhibited by
school‐aged children experiencing neglect or emotional abuse
According to the views of Maguire (2019), this article is about features that occur in
school in which children are experiencing neglect and abuse. The children who are experiencing
emotional abuse and neglect are age of 5-14 years. This article also help in identifying that
sexual and physical abuse may occur with in environment of their school. The article has been
identified by two independent reviewers by hand searching by using 18 database. In their
research method they also include 13,210 article and critical appraisal of 111 underwent. In this
article, including some studies and features it highlighted behavioural feature of children. In
seven studies, it has been analysed that some child find difficulties in initiating friendship with
others (Maguire, 2019). The 13 studies determine that children are facing emotional well being.
The three studies state that children have low self-esteem including depression and suicidal
thoughts. It has also reported that abuse and neglect lead to lowering in intelligence of children
which leads to reduce in numerical and literacy in their studies. This had been analysed by
assessing academic and cognition performance of children. The internal working mother is also
increased the probability of depression among children. This has been evaluated that children are
experiencing poor academic in their school. As neglect and abuse are mostly occurring in school
group of children. The abnormal behaviour classify potentiality cause of emotional abuse and
neglect in children. There is no effect on memory has observed with in children.
ARTICLE 3
Street children and crime in the UK: a case of abuse and neglect
According to the views of Brownie (2019), there are many children who are facing
problems as they are running away from their homes. This cause various issues among them.
There are various issues occur such as violence, abuse, neglect and bullying which assist them in
taking such steps. The research gas been stated that there are 20 % of children who run away
from their home for at least one night. The some children run away from their homes for approx
10 times. They also run away from their care settings. The reason of their behaviour occur from

occurrence of potentiality of criminal behaviour in their environment (Brownie, 2019). There are
many crime occur through street children as they are suffer from various challenging behaviour.
This develop changes in their emotional behaviour that leads to attempt in runaway and crime in
their life. It is necessary to prevented which can be develop through various challenges among
them. The street work projects are described the limitations and information of young runaways.
The research has proposed that counsellor is necessary to be a part of intervention. It is necessary
to be occur as it provides effective communication to children from which they can motivate
children to taking prevent from such action. They should available for free for children who are
facing abuse and neglect in their environment. As the children have difficulties outside in their
health care services provision. It has been evaluated that, there are children who are facing abuse
and neglect which provoke them to take action from running away from their home and care
settings. With this, many incidents can be reduced by lowering the potential behaviour that harm
them emotionally.
ARTICLE 4
Predicting child abuse and neglect: ethical, theoretical and methodological challenges
According to the views of Taylor (2019), this article is based on theoretical and methods
that help in predicating studies about children who are facing neglect and abuse. In this research,
screening method is use to predict about situation of children of facing neglect and abuse. In this,
the communities and health visitors can use this method in their practices. This help in
identifying neglect and abuse among children who are facing by them. With this, accuracy can
be identified among children. This method help in overcoming issues that are occurring. There
are some difficulties can be occur among nurses as it is necessary to use this method with ethical
implication (Taylor, 2019). In this, position paper method is used which helps in identifying
problem from which children are facing neglect and abuse in their issues. As this can apply on
parents from which they can state about issues which are occurring among children. This has
been evaluated that the nurses can identify risk factors among children that are occurring by
working with them. The judgement of them can help in justifying risk factors that cause harm
and neglect among children and families. It is the best ways of improving skills as nurses can
work with their patients that help them in identifying more behaviour of children. This also assist
in analysing those factors that increase their abilities from which development of care can be

developed for children. With the help of this, they can analyse cause of risk factors that are occur
from their issues.
