Summary

The "Sentinella" project aims to improve the early recognition and prevention of child maltreatment by creating a digital registry and education network for healthcare professionals. The study will test a new online registry built on the REDCap platform to collect standardized, anonymous data about suspected cases of abuse or neglect. It also includes a structured training program for pediatricians and other healthcare workers to strengthen their skills in identifying and reporting maltreatment.

This observational study will assess how easy the registry is to use and whether the training improves participants' knowledge and reporting practices. The project is expected to enhance collaboration between hospitals and community services, reduce reporting delays, and create a model for regional or national systems to protect vulnerable children.

Integrated Digital Registry and Education Intervention

The Sentinella intervention combines a secure digital registry with a structured training program for healthcare professionals to improve the early recognition and reporting of suspected child maltreatment. The digital registry, developed using the REDCap platform, enables standardized, anonymous data collection and supports communication between hospital and community services. The training component includes theoretical and practical modules focused on clinical, psychological, and legal aspects of child abuse, as well as hands-on exercises for correct use of the registry. This integrated approach-linking technology and professional education-distinguishes Sentinella from other interventions, which typically address either training or data collection separately.
